Cheers are in order for Kelsey Grammer, who is about to become a dad again.
According to ExtraTV, the Emmy-winning actor is set to welcome his eighth child and fourth with his current wife, Kayte Walsh. The news was confirmed on Tuesday, June 17, shortly after Kelsey, Kayte, and her baby bump were spotted in London.
Who are Kelsey Grammer’s seven children?
The update came nearly 15 years after Kelsey separated from his ex-wife,The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Camille Grammer Meyer. The former spouses tied the knot in 1997 and finalized their divorce in early 2011. Camille and Kelsey share two children: a 23-year-old daughter named Mason Grammer and a 20-year-old son named Jude Grammer.
Kelsey also shares a 41-year-old daughter, Spencer Grammer, with his first wife, Doreen Alderman, and a 33-year-old daughter, Greer Grammer, with his second wife, Barrie Buckner.
The Frasier actor married Kayte in February 2011, weeks after his divorce from Camille was finalized. The husband and wife went on to welcome three kids: 12-year-old daughter, Faith Grammer; 10-year-old son, Gabriel Grammer; and 8-year-old son, James Grammer.
Kelsey Grammer opens up about his role as a dad
Kelsey opened up about his children in a recent interview with People magazine, admitting he could’ve been more present as a dad.
“I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two,” he said. “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.”
Kelsey told the outlet that he parented his older children a bit differently than the younger ones, especially when it came to teaching them life lessons.
“I probably should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones,” he explained. “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: keep it close to the vest and play it straight, and you’re going to be well-served in your life. I’m a little more specific with them about doing their studies and being prepared. [I tell them], ‘What’s your job in life? Showing up.’”
