Let's celebrate Kelsey Grammer's return to fatherhood! Multiple outlets confirmed that the 70-year-old Frasier alum is expecting his eighth child after his wife, Kayte Walsh, 46, showed off her baby bump while out with him in London on June 14.
In pictures that People was able to obtain, Kayte, who already has children with Kelsey, including Faith, 12; Gabriel, 10; and James, 8, strolled through the bright English city wearing a black sundress that accentuated her expanding waist.
The Cheers star, who also has a daughter named Spencer, 41, with his ex-wife Doreen Alderman; a daughter named Greer, 33, with his ex-Barrie Buckner; a daughter named Mason, 23, and a son named Jude, 20, with his ex-Camille Grammer, walked with Kayte wearing a navy polo shirt, white shorts, and aviator sunglasses.
Kelsey has relished his role as a father since he became a father for the first time in 1983. He revealed that his career as an actor has even enabled him to succeed as a parent.
Last June, the Emmy winner told Variety, "The happiest I ever am is if my children—my young children, my older children—are in the same room together." "I am able to do that because of my work. This wonderful experience has been bestowed upon me. In addition to being difficult and tragic, it has also been painful and difficult. But what a wonderful life it is. And I wish to convey that to them.
However, Kelsey has encouraged some of his children to pursue careers in entertainment in addition to providing them with a good life.
"Kayte and I were discussing how a child would actually follow in their father's footsteps," he added. "To think that all of my children are drawn to this industry, at least the ones who are involved in the air, are prepared to take charge of their lives." "That's something to be proud of," [Kayte] said.
However, Kelsey acknowledged that he has been "playing catch-up" with some of his older children as his family has grown and his schedule has become more hectic over time.
"I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two," he admitted to People in May of last year. "I'm currently attempting to make up for some of it."
Additionally, Kelsey says, "I'm still their dad, so you can always have [a] chance to show up," expressing his confidence that he will be able to provide the kind of support that he has in the past failed to provide.
