Gordon Ramsay reveals wife Tana ‘wants’ another child to join their family of seven: ‘I can’t f**k it’

Gordon, 56, and Tana, 49, are parents to Megan, 25, Jack and Holly, 23, Tilly, 21, and Oscar, 4

The Ramsay family could be expanding soon.

In this week’s cover story, Gordon Ramsay tells PEOPLE, “Tana wants another one.”

Gordon, 56, and wife Tana, 49, are already parents to daughter Megan, 25, twins Jack and Holly, 23, daughter Matilda (“Tilly”), 21, and son Oscar, 4.

“I’m going to school for sports day with a walker!” Gordon laughs. “‘Hey, who’s your grandpa?’ ‘Actually, it’s your dad.'” So I’m not sure how many hip and knee replacements they’re going to have by the time they’re 21, but I’m going to try.”

The Kitchen Nightmares star said Tana is looking to have another child not just because “it’s a fun thing to do,” but also because “she said she doesn’t want Oscar to grow up alone,” Gordon revealed.

“Alone? He goes to school every day and he has four siblings! So, oh my gosh, watch that space. . . . I’m f—ed.”

The Kitchen Nightmares star said Tana is looking to have another child not only because “it’s a fun thing to do,” but also “she said she doesn’t want Oscar to grow up alone,” Gordon revealed.

“Alone? He goes to school every day, and he has four siblings! So, oh my gosh, watch that space. . . . I’m f**ked.”

And their youngest Oscar (born three years after Tana’s miscarriage at 20 weeks) is “a great kid,” Gordon said. “He’s only 4, but he’s already growing up so fast with four older siblings.”

As his grown children — who share their dad’s passion for cycling, hiking, and swimming — have grown, Gordon has realized the importance of taking the time to listen.

“My job as a father is to provide solutions to their problems. That’s the most important role of a father,” he says. “But man, it’s hard to deal with five kids, five problems, 25 problems a week, a hundred problems a month—that’s a lot of solutions.”

The kids aren’t afraid to tease him, either.

“If they want to tell me I’m wrong or criticize a dish, I laugh,” he says. “Last week, Tilly was talking about one of the dishes, and I said, ‘Look, there’s caramelized garlic.’ And she stuck her fork in it and said, ‘Daddy, it’s burnt. Caramel isn’t black. Look it up in the dictionary.’ I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ So, yeah… I love it when they challenge me.”
