Gordon Ramsay<\/a>\u00a0is a father of six. That was always the plan. Check that. It was “the dream.”<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to ET’s Cassie DiLaura ahead of the season 3 premiere of <\/span>Next Level Chef<\/em><\/a>, the 57-year-old world famous chef recalls proposing the idea to his then-girlfriend, Tana, before getting down on one knee and popping the question, which in and of itself was a literal fumble down in the Florida Keys.<\/span><\/p>\n “That was the dream. That was the dream we first set out,” said Ramsay when asked if having six kids was the goal. “I proposed to Tana down in the Florida Keys … I was fumbling around, ’cause I dropped the fricking ring. And so, I’m like, ‘Is something biting your feet?’ … the ring, I had lost the ring. So, I had to get down on my knees. She’s like, ‘Oh my god. Oh, my god’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, now, wait a minute. i’ve lost the f***ing ring.’ So, it’s not that, ‘Oh my god moment’ ’cause I’m like s****ing myself. I dug deeper. I found the ring, and then proposed. But I ballsed that up. But it’s worked, by the way.”<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, it has. Ramsay and Tana have now been married for nearly three decades. They welcomed baby No. 6, Jesse James, back in November. The <\/span>Kitchen Nightmares<\/span><\/em> star recalled the bundle of joy being quite the “whopper,” coming in at 7 pounds and 10 ounces. And that’s it for the Ramsay household.<\/span><\/p>\n “Yeah, number six. No more,” he said. “I’m gonna be called granddaddy at sports day.”<\/span><\/p>\n With six kids and an incredibly busy work schedule, Ramsay joked when he’ll get to enjoy a day off.<\/span><\/p>\n “No, you’re absolutely right, and also, honestly, the holidays is the worst time for any chef because we go to the restaurant it’s super busy,” he says. “You go back home. It’s super busy. And the Ramsay household is like running a restaurant where no one goes home. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. ‘Dad, can we have that prime rib tonight?’ We just finished lunch! Can you give me a minute?!’ You’re never off, honestly.”<\/span><\/p>\n
