Gordon Ramsay was seen wiping away tears when he saw his daughter, Holly Ramsay, in her wedding dress for the very first time. Holly, who wed Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on Dec. 27, 2025, shared the intimate father-daughter moment on Instagram, with fans instantly relating to the Michelin-star chef's emotions.
However, while appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Jan. 29, Ramsay revealed the real reason behind his tears at his daughter's wedding—joking that it hit him how expensive Holly's dress was!
"I was very emotional," Ramsay told Hudson as the now-viral clip played. "I was crying 'cause I realised how expensive the dress was there. That's when it suddenly hit me."
He continued, "It's quite an emotional moment. We have six kids, three girls, three boys. Seeing your daughter there [in her dress] for the first time … You just see this little girl just transformed into this amazing lady, and it just gets you. Wow."

Speaking with Vogue about her wedding, Holly shared that her famous father had a habit of tearing up whenever she discussed anything related to her big day. "Dad cries every time I talk about the wedding," she said, adding, "The other day I was asking him which car he and I would take to the church, and he welled up immediately."
She also revealed that, naturally, her dad was in charge of the food. "Dad has been extremely involved in the food," she shared, noting that Ramsay's team at his luxury London restaurant, Savoy Grill, helped plan her wedding menu.
On top of that, Ramsay also prepared a speech for his daughter's wedding. Speaking with the U.K. talk show This Morning, he shared he was "a hot mess."
"It's tough, honestly — I mean, being a dad with three daughters, you dream of that moment. That moment arrives, and you're just like a hot mess," he said, adding, "The speech was perfect. It went well. You got to find that sort of — you've got to be warm, emotional ... It was just a tough gig."
