Actor Kelsey Grammer has announced the arrival of his eighth child, a son named Christopher. The 70-year-old “Frasier” star shared the happy news during an appearance on the “Pod Meets World” podcast, revealing that the baby was born just three days prior with his wife, Kayte Walsh. This new addition marks the fourth child for Grammer and Walsh, who have been married for 14 years.
The couple’s growing family already includes 12-year-old Faith, 10-year-old Gabriel, and 8-year-old James. Grammer’s family tree extends across his previous marriages, making him a father to a total of eight children who range in age from newborn to 41 years old. He shares his eldest son, Spencer, 41, with his first wife, Doreen Alderman, and his daughter Greer, 33, with his second wife, Barrie Buckner. From his marriage to Camille Grammer, he is father to Mason, 23, and Jude, 20.
Grammer and Walsh’s relationship began in an unconventional setting. They first met in 2009 when Walsh was working as a flight attendant on a flight Grammer was taking to London. Their connection was immediate, leading to a coffee date several days later and eventually marriage in 2011. Their family has been a central part of Grammer’s life in recent years, with the actor often speaking about the joys and challenges of fatherhood.
The announcement comes as Grammer has been reflecting publicly on his life and career, including the promotion of his new memoir. In earlier interviews this year, he candidly discussed his parenting journey, expressing some regret for having “neglected” his older children at times and his current efforts to be more present and clear with his younger ones about life’s expectations. The arrival of baby Christopher opens a new chapter for the veteran actor, proving that family life continues to be a central and evolving part of his story.
