Kelsey Grammer, the renowned actor best known for his role in *Frasier*, has announced the birth of his eighth child. His wife, Kayte Walsh, gave birth to a baby boy named Christopher this month. The couple, who also share three other children—12-year-old Faith, 10-year-old Gabriel, and eight-year-old James—welcomed their fourth child together.
The announcement came during the October 27 episode of the *Pod Meets World* podcast, hosted by Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong. Grammer, 70, shared the news while discussing his memoir, *Karen: A Brother Remembers*, which he wrote in memory of his late sister. He stated, “We just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids,” highlighting the recent addition to their family.
Kelsey Grammer’s family extends beyond his children with Kayte. He has a total of eight children, including 41-year-old daughter Spencer with his first wife, Doreen Alderman, and 33-year-old daughter Greer with ex-partner Barrie Buckner. He also shares 23-year-old daughter Mason and 20-year-old son Jude with ex-wife Camille Grammer.
The couple’s journey to welcoming a new child gained public attention in June when they were spotted in a London park, with Walsh showing signs of pregnancy. Earlier this year, Grammer candidly admitted that he has struggled to balance his responsibilities as a father, especially with his older children. In an interview with *People*, he remarked, “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.”
Kelsey expressed that he feels he “should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones.” He elaborated on his parenting approach, stating, “I’m pretty tolerant with the young ones, but I’m clear about how there’s certain expectations and certain ways to navigate through a social situation.” He emphasized the importance of education and responsibility to his older children, saying, “What’s your job in life? Showing up.”
In addition to the joyous family news, Kelsey Grammer has been reflecting on his past through his memoir. The book revisits the tragic story of his sister, Karen Grammer, who was murdered at the age of 18. Kelsey recounted the harrowing experience of identifying her body after she was brutally attacked in Colorado in July 1975. The impact of this tragedy has shaped much of his life, and he aims to honor her memory through his writing.
The recent birth of Christopher adds to the vibrant and evolving family life of Kelsey Grammer, whose career and personal experiences continue to resonate with fans around the world. As he embraces his role as a father of eight, Grammer’s reflections on his family dynamics and past experiences offer a glimpse into the life of one of Hollywood’s enduring figures.
