At 70, Kelsey Grammer Prepares for Baby No. 8 with Wife Kayte Walsh
Time to unpack this revelation: at 70, Emmy-winning actor Kelsey Grammer is expecting his eighth child as wife Kayte Walsh is gearing up for their fourth together. The Frasier star and his former flight attendant spouse confirmed the news in a joint Instagram post on June 15, captioning an adorable sonogram snap with “Adding one more to the madness.” According to People Magazine’s exclusive, the couple could welcome their newest arrival this fall, keeping parents—and fans—on countdown watch.
Grammer’s brood is already famously multigenerational. He shares daughter Spencer (37) with ex Leigh-Anne Csuhany, and three children—Mason (21), Jude (18) and Gabriel (16)—with his second wife, Camille Donatacci. With Walsh, he’s father to Faith Evangeline (12), Jude Victory (8) and 3-year-old Louis Victor. The upcoming baby bumps the total to eight, spanning ages 3 to nearly 40 and turning the Grammer household into a bona fide circus—with love as the ringleader.
Sources from Us Weekly note that Walsh, 41, is navigating this pregnancy with her signature grace, having dazzled fans in off-duty maternity photo shoots. Friends of the pair tell E! News that the star-studded duo has been quietly preparing for another late-season delivery, transforming a second guest room into a pastel nursery complete with custom-built cribs and teddy bears monogrammed “Little Grammer.” Insiders suggest the reveal was timed to coincide with Father’s Day celebrations, giving Grammer an extra dose of sentimental sparkle.
In interviews, Grammer has joked about trading librettos for lullabies, quipping in a backstage chat with Variety last month, “I’ve got enough diaper-changing choreography to last a lifetime.” Industry colleagues point out that despite heading back to sitcom sets later this year, he’s intent on embracing every sleepless night with gusto. His publicist confirms he’s wrapping up promotional duties for an upcoming Netflix special before taking paternity leave.
For context, this isn’t Grammer’s first rodeo; he’s weathered high-profile splits and personal tragedies while remaining steadfast in fatherhood. After his former wife Camille’s divorce and a series of custody agreements chronicled by court records in 2011, he’s repeatedly called parenthood his “greatest role.” Walsh, on her part, has kept a low social profile, enriching her blog with glimpses of farm-life and family hikes in Malibu.
This announcement lands just as Grammer’s nostalgic revival of Frasier nears its Netflix debut. With cameras rolling and a nursery growing, will he juggle Emmy campaigns and baby bottles? Only time—and perhaps a Grammy for “Best Lullaby Performance”—will tell. And there you have it. Make of that what you will.
