Kelsey Grammer Welcomes Baby No. 8 at Age 70 as Wife Kayte Gives Birth
Kelsey Grammer is a dad — again! The Frasier star, 70, and his wife Kayte Walsh Grammer, 44, have welcomed their fourth child together, a baby boy, bringing the actor’s total number of children to eight.
A representative for the Emmy-winning actor confirmed the happy news on Monday, sharing that both mom and baby are “healthy, happy, and settling in at home.” The newborn’s name has not yet been revealed, but sources close to the couple say the family is “over the moon” about their newest addition.
“Kelsey is thrilled,” an insider told People. “He’s always loved being a father, and this baby has brought so much light into their lives.”
👶 A Big, Loving Family
This is baby number eight for Grammer, whose family spans multiple generations. With Kayte, whom he married in 2011, he already shares three children: Faith Evangeline Elisa, 12, Kelsey Jr., 9, and Audrey, 7.
Grammer also has four grown children from previous relationships — Spencer (with Doreen Alderman), Greer (with Barrie Buckner), and Mason and Jude (with his third wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Camille Grammer).
The actor has spoken fondly about balancing his busy career with fatherhood. “Being a dad has always been my favorite role,” he said in a past interview. “It keeps me humble, it keeps me grateful, and it keeps me laughing.”
❤️ Kelsey and Kayte’s Enduring Love Story
Kelsey met Kayte, a former British flight attendant, in 2010, and the pair married the following year in an intimate ceremony at New York’s Plaza Hotel. Their relationship drew attention early on due to the speed with which it followed his high-profile divorce from Camille, but the couple has since built a strong, grounded marriage.
“They’re a great team,” says a family friend. “Kayte is very nurturing and grounded, and Kelsey absolutely adores her.”
The actor has often credited Kayte with helping him through personal challenges and encouraging his creative resurgence — including the successful Frasier reboot that premiered in 2023.
🌟 A Legendary Career, a New Beginning
At 70, the actor shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to returning to his signature role as Dr. Frasier Crane, Grammer has several projects in development and recently completed filming for an upcoming faith-based drama.
But for now, the new dad appears focused on family. “He’s in that blissful newborn haze,” the insider added. “He’s savoring every minute.”
With his trademark humor and heart, Kelsey Grammer seems ready to embrace fatherhood once again — proving that when it comes to love and family, it’s never too late for a fresh start.
