Gordon Ramsay's Daughter Tilly Has Grown Up To Be Gorgeous

Chef Gordon Ramsay is probably best known for it's his heated, profanity-laced admonishments directed at aspiring chefs on television — that and his multiple Michelin stars. He both delights and horrifies audiences on a variety of cooking shows, constantly finding new and entertaining ways to tell someone that their food is horrible. And then some!

But believe it or not, Ramsay has a much softer side, which you won't see if you're binge-watching Hell's Kitchen. The husband and father isn't actually a fiery-tempered blowhard in real life — well, from the looks of it — when he's just being a regular person with his family. That's especially apparent when he's appearing on television with his youngest daughter, Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay, who's clearly following in his culinary footsteps.

So what else is there to know about the second youngest Ramsay child? Is she going to yell at chefs on television like her pops, or does she have a style all her own? And what are her hopes, dreams, and ambitions? Read on to learn all about Tilly Ramsay, who has truly grown up to be gorgeous.

You might be tempted to think that because Tilly Ramsay grew up with a famous, celebrity chef as a dad, she was totally spoiled and never had to do anything for herself. But in reality, her mother and father worked hard to make sure she understood how the world works and how precious natural resources are.

For example, in order to educate their children about the importance of food, the Ramsay family raised livestock in their backyard. "Tana and I were conscious about them understanding where the food comes from," Gordon Ramsay recalled in an interview with The One Show. "They grew up with, you know, pigs and lambs and turkeys in the garden. They appreciate it, and they, sort of, wasted less, I think." Talk about parenting done right!

Dad also made sure that all of the Ramsay kids learned how to cook, and not just so they could somehow cash in on it. "I think it's a life skill," he continued, adding, "It's not about money, because you don't have to eat well and spend a lot of money." Rather, it's about being a competent adult.

If anyone has a sheer mastery of profane language, it's Gordon Ramsay. The king of insults can berate anyone into a corner, no matter how big and tough they might appear on the outside.

Of course, that's on reality television. In real life, he says he instilled a respect for language in his children at home. "I taught them very early on in life, you know, that those words were naughty," he recalled in an interview with The Project (via LAD Bible). "Never use them."

But that didn't stop Tilly Ramsay from delivering a perfectly timed f-bomb when she was younger. "It was our twins' 18th birthday party on Saturday just gone, and we had this amazing Great Gatsby party and we had Olly Murs sing," he continued. "At literally five past 12 AM, my youngest turned around and said, 'Dad' and I said, 'Are you OK Matilda?', and she said, 'it's time to f**k off now.'" The apple clearly doesn't fall too far from the tree!

In 2015, when Tilly Ramsay was just 14 years old, she officially launched her first television show, Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch. Together with her family, she breaks down cooking to its basics on the show, demystifying the cooking process for kids and young adults. "It's just a really fun program to teach and inspire young people to cook and learn how to cook," Gordon Ramsay's daughter revealed in an interview with BBC Breakfast. "It's us, we're cooking at home. It's very relaxed, and we're doing different adventures to like, mix in with it."

Given the big personalities in the Ramsay family, you can bet that they get up to all sorts of hijinx on the program, which honestly sounds like a lot of fun. "There's a lot of competitiveness," she continued. "But it's just friendly and we just have a laugh, really, while doing it, and tease each other all the time."

So if you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall of the Ramsay home, this is your chance!

Just as Tilly Ramsay's style of cooking is simple and easy, so too is the cookbook that she wrote and published in 2015, specifically by design. That's because her audience is comprised mostly of kids and young adults who are just learning how to cook and need to start from the beginning. "Not everyone knows the basics, and without them you can't do as well," she shared in an interview with This Morning. "It's easier so that they can see as well."

Gordon Ramsay's daughter Tilly did get a little bit of help from her father on her cookbook, which makes sense given that this is her first book and he's such an accomplished chef with tons of experience. "He wasn't overly involved, he just helped me with a few things," she revealed in an interview with the Daily Record. "There were a few recipes I couldn't nail, and I said, 'What would you do? How would you improve this?' He really helped me there but he wasn't pushing me to do any of his stuff." Talk about a father-daughter dream team!

In addition to collaborating on her cookbook and working on her television show with her father, Gordon Ramsay's daughter Tilly has also partnered with him at his restaurant. "Great day [at Bread Street Kitchen] launching the new Tilly menu," she wrote in a 2017 post on her Instagram page. "Make sure you go check it out across all [Gordon Ramsay Restaurants]."

And although Tilly has her own style and ambitions, she's very open to working with her dad again in the future on a new project. "I love working with my dad, we have so much fun although sometimes he gets bossy and annoying!" she joked in a 2018 interview with Hello! magazine. "The children we worked with for This Morning were lovely, I really hope we helped them with their cooking. We've just finished filming the new series of Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch and that will be back on the BBC early next year." We can't wait to see what they cook up next!

Now that Gordon Ramsey's daughter Tilly is all grown up, naturally she's ready to start dating. Interestingly enough, according to her father, she's gotten quite cozy with fellow chef Gino D'Acampo's son, Luciano. "We were driving through San Francisco and FaceTiming Luciano, and all of a sudden Tilly pops up behind them, and they are out having lunch," he revealed in an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show (via The Sun) in October 2019. "I think they are friends." And to that, Ross quipped, "I have heard they are more than friends!" Wouldn't that be something?

But whether or not the romance is real is up for debate, thanks to a post on Tilly Ramsay's Instagram page that shows her getting pretty close to a fellow who's definitely not D'Acampo — which has her family and followers in quite the tizzy. "Someone tell Luci," her sister Holly commented. And in typical Gordon Ramsay fashion, he commented simply, "Wtf." We need answers, Tilly!

Although the Ramsay family is very wealthy, thanks to Gordon Ramsay's success, he didn't turn around and spoil his children with riches. "I've never been really turned on about the money," he explained in an interview with The Telegraph. "That's not my number one objective, and that's reflected in the way the kids are brought up." That means the children don't fly first class with their parents, and they all have budgets that they need to stick to.

To that end, Gordon says his vast wealth won't be willed to his children when he passes away, which honestly is quite surprising. But he has his reasons for the decision. "It's definitely not going to them, and that's not in a mean way; it's to not spoil them," he continued. He added, "I've been super lucky, having that career for the last 15 years in the US. Seriously, it has earned a fortune and I've been very lucky, so I respect everything I've got."

Fortunately for Gordon Ramsay's daughter Tilly, her career looks like it will be all that she needs in order to support herself just fine.
