For the past eight years, Cornwall has been the family home of Gordon Ramsay and his family and despite their happy smiles, tragedy also lurks beneath the surface. The celebrity chef has recently opened up about the tragic death of his son, Rocky, back in 2016, who they named their Cornwall home after.
In an interview with People, the 56-year-old has spoken out about the heart-breaking loss and how he and his wife Tana, 49, navigated when they lost their baby back in 2016.
He said: “There’s no book that guides you through that loss, and so losing Rocky was really tough. Watching the trauma unfold, it’s this life-changing moment.”He went on to describe his wife of 26 years as “incredibly resilient,” and praised her strength during the time. Gordon also revealed how he and his family pay tribute to Rocky – including a tattoo of an angel.
Each family member, which includes five children, also wears a piece of jewellery with Rocky’s name on. Tana also took to social media to pay tribute to her son, writing alongside a snap of the family: “A happy picture taken of us celebrating Meghan’s 18th, I was just under 20 weeks pregnant. “Although it’s 7 years today, it still feels like yesterday. We all miss you every day. We love you Rocky, forever in our hearts. I couldn’t do this without my family, you are all everything to me.” Tana has previously praised Gordon’s support whilst appearing on Loose Women in 2020.
She said: “I lost a baby in 2016 and Gordon was with me throughout that entire process and there’s no way I could have done it without him right there by my side.
“When we went on to have Oscar, 19 months ago, again he was right there by my side.”
