We’re all too familiar with nepo babies in fashion, showbiz, business and big tech – but Holly Ramsay has sprung up as a new kind of nepo baby, being the celebrity kid of cooking giants Tana and Gordon Ramsay.

Unlike many famous people’s kids, however, she doesn’t seem to be following in her parents’ footsteps – though she did go viral once on TikTok for posting a video of her cooking one of her dad’s recipes, to which Gordon replied, comically: “Shame on you, Holly!”

So, cooking skills might not be a genetic thing. Perhaps not yet anyway. She’s been making headlines lately for different reasons.

An Instagram sensation, the 23-year-old has been carving her own path as a model and shares photos of her effortless – and daring – sense of style, from Barbiecore bikinis to lingerie-style LBDs and feathery dresses.

What’s more, her relationship with Olympian Adam Peaty has also been the topic of conversation as fans watch their romance blossom, with Holly even taking the athlete to her family home in Cornwall over the weekend.

But what else do we know about her, exactly?

Holly was born on New Year’s Day, at the turn of the millennium in 2000, to a big family – and she even has a twin. She’s the daughter of Hell’s Kitchen celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, and Tana Ramsay, a TV broadcaster and author of several cookbooks.

Both of her parents are British and they got married in 1996 before steadily growing their household: Megan, 25, twins Holly and Jack, 23, Matilda aka “Tilly”, 21, and Oscar, 4.

Tragically, the couple lost another child, Rocky, five months into Tana’s pregnancy.

According to British media, Ramsay was studying fashion design at London’s Ravensbourne University, but had to leave after her first year. Sources stated that she was admitted to Nightingale Hospital, where she spent three months as an inpatient, and was diagnosed with anxiety, PTSD and depression.

It was later revealed that she had been sexually assaulted when she was 18, per Independent. On her podcast 21 & Over, she said: “The PTSD was a result of two sexual assaults when I was 18. I didn’t tell anyone about it until a year afterwards. I just buried it in a box in the back of my mind.”

Ever since this incident, Ramsay has made a point to be vocal about her experiences and provide a platform to support those in need. She launched her podcast 21 & Over, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio, where she talks, often with guests, about dealing with the struggles of mental health.

According to Studio Ramsay, the aim of the podcast is to “create a kind, healthy and safe conversation to inspire healing and emotional well-being”. The last episode, however, was released in August 2021, so it’s unclear whether the show is still active.

 

She’s also opened up about her sobriety, saying on her Instagram that, “Living without alcohol has helped me feel better and more present both mentally and physically.”

Ramsay has become an Instagram star in her own right. With over 330,000 followers, the digital creator shares snippets of her life, from family days out and boat trips to events like the Wiba Awards in Cannes. Her TikTok also boasts a cool 300,000-plus fans.

According to British media, she signed with Established Modelling Agency in 2019, and with CAA for representation late last year, per Variety. CAA is renowned for repping some of Hollywood’s biggest talents, from Ana de Armas and Anya Taylor-Joy to Bradley Cooper and Charlize Theron. The same source stated that she’s currently working on a documentary focused on sex education.

She’s dating a triple Olympic champion

It’s unclear when Peaty, a 28-year-old English swimmer, and Ramsay, 23, started dating exactly, but the two seemingly first sparked rumours about their romance when their Instagram posts and comments towards each other got more and more flirty during the summer. Then, they embarked on a PDA-filled getaway to Rome in late June, which seemingly confirmed these speculations.

According to OK!, the Olympian competed on Strictly Come Dancing the same year as Holly’s sister Tilly was on in 2021, which might indicate when they met for the first time.

So does dad Gordon, the notoriously hot-headed TV chef personality, approve? Considering Peaty joined the family Cornwall trip last weekend and was pictured posing beside the famous cook in June, we’d say he’s probably in his good books.
