Los Angeles: Veteran actor Kelsey Grammer, best known for his role in the popular series “Frasier” and several “X-Men” films, has become a father again at the age of 70.
Grammar shared the news during an appearance on the “Pod Meets World” podcast on Monday, revealing that he and his wife, Kayte Walsh, recently welcomed a baby boy named Christopher.
“We just had our fourth one, it just became eight kids. It was like three days ago. Christopher has just joined the family. Pretty cool. Yeah, isn’t that lovely?” Grammar said.
Speaking on the podcast, Grammer shared the joyful news with his signature charm. “Kayte just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids,” he said with a laugh. “It was like three days ago. Christopher, that’s just joined the family.” The actor and Walsh already share three children — daughter Faith (12), and sons Gabriel (10) and James (8). Christopher’s arrival brings the total to four children for the couple, who married in 2011.
Grammar’s growing family spans several decades and relationships. He is also a father to Spencer (41), whom he shares with his first wife Doreen Alderman; Greer (33), from his relationship with Barrie Buckner; and Mason (23) and Jude (20), from his marriage to reality TV personality Camille Grammer.
Reflecting on fatherhood in a 2018 interview, Grammar said being a parent later in life has brought him a renewed sense of joy and energy. “It’s fantastic, the energy is magnificent,” he told Closer Weekly. “I’m as young as they are. Kayte has a pristine and extraordinary ability to love. She loves being pregnant and being a mom.”
However, in a more recent interview with People magazine earlier this year, Grammer opened up about the challenges of balancing his career with family life, admitting that he hadn’t always been the most attentive father.
