Kelsey Grammer, 70, welcomes 8th child after wife, 46, gives birth to baby boy

Kelsey Grammer has revealed he and his wife, Kayte Walsh, recently became parents once again — to a baby boy named Christopher.

‘Just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids!’ Grammer, 70, shared cheerfully on the Pod Meets World podcast this week.

He and Walsh, his fourth wife, have been married for 14 years and already share three children: daughter Faith, 13, and sons Kelsey Gabriel, 11, and Auden James, 8.

The couple’s love story began in 2009, when the British flight attendant met Grammer on a London-bound flight.

Grammer first became a father more than four decades ago when his eldest, Spencer, 42, was born during his marriage to actress Doreen Alderman.

Over the years, he’s welcomed children from each of his marriages, including daughter Greer, 33, with Barrie Buckner, and two more – Mason, 24, and Jude, 21 – during his 13-year marriage to Camille Meyer (formerly Grammer), whom fans will remember from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Despite the age gap between his oldest and youngest children, Grammer has found ways to keep his family connected, sometimes even on screen.

In recent years, he’s worked alongside both Spencer and Greer, co-starring with Spencer in Lifetime’s The 12 Days of Christmas Eve and appearing with Greer in the Paramount+ revival of Frasier.

Still, Grammer admits that fatherhood has been a lifelong work in progress.

Speaking to People last year, the actor reflected candidly on his parenting journey.

He said: ‘I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two. I’m trying to make up for a little of it now. I’m still their dad, so you can always have a chance to show up.’

‘I probably should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones,’ he said. “With the young ones, I’m specific about expectations — do your studies, be prepared. I tell them, “What’s your job in life? Showing up.”‘
