Chef Gordon Ramsay’s wife, Tana Ramsay, shares a message over a heartbreaking miscarriage on her son’s 5th birthday.
Cayetana Elizabeth Ramsay, 43, is an English TV broadcaster and author of several cookery books. She married Gordon Ramsay in London on December 21, 1996. They have five children: Megan 23, twins Holly and Jack 21, Matilda, 19 and Oscar, 2.
Back in 2016, Tana suffered a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy. The couple had already settled on naming their son Rocky.
Oscar was then born after Tana had a miscarriage.
“If you know someone who has lost a child and you’re afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn’t forget they died,” Tana shared a quote on Instagram.
“You’re not reminding them,” she wrote. “What you’re reminding them of is that you remember they lived. And that is a great, great gift.”
“If all had gone as we hoped yesterday 14/10/21 would have been our little boy Rocky’s 5th birthday, the day he was due not the day he was actually born when he was too little to survive,” she added.
“Not a day goes by when we don’t think of him, but, it wasn’t meant to be,” she continued. “We have gone on to be blessed and will be eternally grateful, but shall always remember our angel baby with a heart bursting with love and many tears x #babylossawarenessweek @gordongram.”
Talking about the loss during an interview on Loose Women last year, the mother revealed how she couldn’t have coped without Gordon, who was later present at their son Oscar’s birth in 2019.
The master chef previously told Weekend he had been overwhelmed by the support they had received and admitted the devastating loss had brought the family closer together.
“It has brought us all so much closer,” Gordon said. “You realize how lucky you are and you reflect on what you have, how fortunate you are with your remaining children and you remind yourself of what you’ve got. It’s made the family unit even tighter.”
Gordon had an interview with The Mail’s You Magazine, jokingly saying Tana, is four months pregnant before disclosing: “Tana’s going to kill me. I’m joking, we discussed having another baby soon.”
