Gordon Ramsay Reveals He 'Blacked Out' When Holding Son Oscar Just After Wife Tana Gave Birth
Gordon Ramsay recalls watching his wife Tana give birth to their son Oscar via caesarean section and holding his son for the first time
The celebrity chef admits that he "blacked out" while holding their son after seeing all the blood on the ground
Ramsay shares his six kids with wife TanaGordon Ramsay's wife kicked him out of the delivery room for their first four kids — and it might've been for good reason.
The British celebrity chef, 58, appeared on a June 9 episode of the Smartless podcast and was asked by co-host Sean Hayes about missing the birth of his first four kids. Ramsay explained that it was actually his wife Tana's choice to not have him in the delivery room and shared that he'd actually attempted to be there when they welcomed son Oscar.
"Hold on, you're going to get me into s--- here. Let's make one thing absolutely clear, okay? My wife didn't want me in there," Ramsay shared. "She said, 'First of all, I want my mom and your mom in here. You're not going to f------ see me in that state. Okay. That side of the curtain — get out of there."

"So that was her decision, I had to respect that decision," he continued. "And then when I did finally arrive in the theater for our fifth baby, I f------ collapsed like a wimp and I blacked out holding Oscar in the air," he shared.
Asked by co-host Will Arnett if it was a caesarean section (C-section), Ramsay confirms that it was.
"I said, 'Can you play Ed Sheeran?' So they started playing Ed. 'But can you turn up the volume? I can hear all these noises. Turn up the volume,'" Ramsay remembered. "And all of a sudden, I saw two more doctors dive in. I looked on the floor and there was blood everywhere."
"And all of a sudden, they popped him out and then they came straight over to me," he said. "I went, 'Whoa, whoa whoa. S---!' Yeah and then I sat back and I collapsed like a f------ idiot."
Ramsay and his longtime wife Tana became parents in 1998 after welcoming their eldest daughter, Megan Ramsay, 26. Their brood grew to a family of six with the birth of fraternal twins, daughter Holly Anna Ramsay and son Jack Scott Ramsay, 25, in 1999; Matilda Ramsay, 23, who affectionately goes by Tilly, in 2001; son Oscar James Ramsay, 6, in 2019 (after experiencing a miscarriage in 2016); and son Jesse James in 2023.
Back in May, Ramsay appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark and shared that his wife has hopes of expanding their family again.
"So you took like a break in the middle, so you were like overwhelmed, and then, just when things calm down, you were like 'Let's do it again,' " host Kelly Ripa joked to Ramsay, who replied that it was all his wife Tana Ramsay's idea.
He smiled brightly as he pointed to his wife, revealing that the mom of six is interested in expanding her family once more. "Tana wants one more!" he said.

Bride slams ‘disrespectful' family for poor wedding guest etiquette: ‘Very hurtful'
This blushing bride was beyond bothered after a guest snubbed her luxurious brunch spread for a bucket of fried chicken — and then rudely boasted about it on social media. Six weeks after the wedding, the newlywed took to Reddit to vent her frustration in the Subreddit r/weddingplanning, and gauge whether or not she was overreacting to the incident. She shared that she had spent eight months 'meticulously' planning the wedding with her husband and parents, and after much deliberation, they opted to celebrate the 'elegant morning ceremony' with a brunch-based reception at a venue well-known for the renowned chef's 'exquisite catering.' 'We hand-selected our menu items months in advance, including shrimp and grits, quiche, a biscuit bar with assorted jellies, sausage, and bacon, chicken and waffles, and much, much more,' wrote the bride in her post, and added that the spread cost the couple $98 per person. She also explained that early on in their relationship, she and her husband started a tradition of enjoying Saturday morning brunch together, so the reception marked their first brunch as a married couple, making it an extra sentimental occasion for the pair. As with just about any wedding, there were a few unpopular family members in attendance. 'My uncle and his wife are in the midst of a rocky separation, and his wife has a history of being rude to and taking advantage of the rest of the family. We were surprised to hear that he was bringing her with him to the wedding about 3 days prior, given the situation, but said nothing about it,' she explained. Apparently, while making the 15-minute drive from the church to the reception venue, the uncle and his wife were feeling peckish, so naturally, they stopped for a few buckets of fried chicken at a fast-food joint. The bride clarified that this wasn't the issue, and in fact, was completely fine with it — it was the wife's actions once she arrived at the venue that truly aggravated her. After entering the reception and evaluating the luxe brunch spread — which the bride clarified had plenty of options to choose from, and was even abundant enough to be sent home as leftovers with the newlyweds — her uncle's wife went back out to the parking lot, 'retrieved the leftover fast food, and then she re-entered the reception hall with it and ate it openly at one of our decorated round tables.' Still, this brazen move wasn't the boiling point for the bride. Apparently, the uncle and his wife took 'pictures of themselves eating the fast food at the table (with the brand packaging all out in the open)' and 'they have now posted those pictures on Facebook on two separate occasions,' leaving the bride and her mother, who played a large role in planning, hurt and offended. To add insult to injury, other family members commented on the chicken contrabandist's posts, writing, 'nothing classier than bringing fast food to a catered wedding!' 'I'm struggling with feeling like I was disrespected on a day that we put so much time, money, energy, and thought into planning, and every time they post about it just digs the knife in deeper,' the bride's Reddit post concluded. 'I don't want to comment on the post or anything because I'm afraid to be seen as overreacting or like a bridezilla, but it's very hurtful.' Though angry brides often take plenty of flak online — take it from this woman who demanded that her toddler flower girls all straighten their hair to match better in photos, or this ultra-specific dress code designated by a judgmental bride-to-be — the comments under this Reddit thread were staunchly on the side of the original poster. 'It's frying me that they ate fried chicken when you literally served fried chicken,' pointed out one punning commenter. 'This makes it obvious to me that she just wanted to make a scene.' 'I personally wouldn't let this one keep me up at night,' advised another. 'She embarrassed herself, not you, and the Facebook post where someone called her out is a perfect example of that. She may have laughed off their comment, but trust me when I say she is the only person who looks bad here.' A majority of the comments commiserated with the bride, and offered their own stories, ranging from a groom who wouldn't eat his own reception food and ordered McDonald's to the venue instead, to a huge group of family members who complained about the wedding menu in advance. 'It sounds like your other guests were judging them harshly too. I'd let other people stand up for you, like that family member, and you get to be the classy bride who rose above it all. Obviously, no one likes this woman, and there's no point in letting her ruin your day!' replied one wise Redditor.

Jon Bernthal Joins Tom Holland in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day'
Jon Bernthal has appeared in several Marvel television series as the stone-cold vigilante known as the Punisher, even headlining his own series. Now he's taking his guns to the big screen. More from The Hollywood Reporter Abigail Breslin, Booboo Stewart to Star in Dramedy Movie 'A Good Fight' (Exclusive) Steven Spielberg Thought 'Jaws' "Would Be the Last Movie I Would Ever Be Given to Direct" How Prime Video Gives Cord-Cutters One-Stop Access to Apple TV+, HBO Max, Paramount+ and More Bernthal has joined Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest Spider-Man movie from Sony and Marvel. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing the feature, which will shoot in England this summer and has a July 31, 2026, release date. Much of the movie remains shrouded in mystery. Movie rumor websites have listed upwards of a dozen possible villains, from crime bosses to alien symbiotes, who could appear in the feature, as well as a couple of different versions of the Hulk. The only thing clear at this stage is that Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are reprising their roles as MJ and best friend Ned, although how substantial those roles will be remains unclear. And Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is the big new addition so far. The story takes place after the events of the previous movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which the entire world knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man and then had that knowledge erased. Having Bernthal as the Punisher seems to point to a slightly more grounded angle on the story as the character hails from the gritty street corner of Marvel's universe and, in the comics at least, uses fists, knives and guns to tussle with bad guys, rather than spells or fancy tech. But hey, having him square off against a rampaging Hulk could be fun, too. Bernthal first showed up as vigilante Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, in Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series, then starred in his own series that ran for two seasons. He recently returned for a few episodes in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. Marvel is betting on more Punisher and Bernthal in the months and years to come. The character is set to return for season two of Born Again and Marvel is bringing Bernthal back for a Punisher stand-alone feature for Disney+. Bernthal is co-writing the latter. Curiously, one nonnegotiable he had for his return to Daredevil was maintaining the character's violent, R-rated feel. It will be interesting to see how that translates into the more kid-friendly tone of the Spider-Man movies. Bernthal and Holland have a charmed history together when it comes to Marvel. The duo were working on the 2017 feature Pilgrimage when prepping to audition for their Marvel roles. The actors helped each other with their audition tapes. This year, Bernthal's big-screen output has included starring opposite Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2 for Amazon and appearing in the Rami Malek thriller The Amateur for 20th Century Fox. Bernthal is repped by CAA and Sloane Offer.
