Gordon Ramsay respected the fact that Tana Ramsay was already in a relationship, so he didn't try to date her until she was single again, per Bustle. Somewhere along the line, fate stepped in when Tana ran into Gordon one day by her flat. He was only there because he kept a motorbike in a friend's flat, in the same building that Tana lived in.
Though Tana was just 18, Gordon was 26. While an eight-year age difference doesn't seem much now that they are in their 40s and 50s, when they first started dating, they were clearly in different age brackets.
However, they took it slow and got to know each over a span of four years. Then they were married on December 21, 1996, when Tana was 22 and Gordon was 30. They didn't stay alone in wedded bliss for very long and became parents a little over a year later when their first child Megan was born in May 1998.
