Kelsey Grammer has become a father for the eighth time, joining a roster of veteran celebrities who have welcomed children in their golden years. The Frasier Crane actor has revealed he has brought his newest child into his brood at the age of 70.
This marks his eighth journey into fatherhood, and his fourth with his wife Kayte Walsh – who is originally from Hartlepool. The television icon was previously wed to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality Camille Donatacci from 1997 until 2011.
Prior to that union, he was married to Leigh-Anne Csuhany for one year and dance teacher Doreen Alderman between 1982 and 1990.
He finds himself in distinguished company amongst entertainment industry fathers who have embraced parenthood beyond 60, including rockers Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart.
Grammer and his fourth wife Kayte have recently welcomed son Christopher into their lives. He represents the newest member of his extensive brood, reports the Mirror.
Speaking on Pod Meets World, the delighted father revealed: “Just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids! It was like three days ago. Christopher just joined the family.”
Christopher becomes a sibling to daughter Faith, 13, and sons Kelsey Gabriel, 11, and Auden James, eight, who are the offspring Kelsey and Kayte share together. The performer also has four children from earlier relationships.
Earlier this year the TV and movie star was spotted perusing a supercar showroom during his latest visit to the North East.
Grammer, renowned for his ties to Hartlepool, dropped into Acklam Cars on Middlesbrough’s Acklam Road, where he engaged in convivial conversation with the team and was snapped alongside two members of staff against a backdrop of striking red vehicles.
Eager to share the excitement, the dealership featured snapshots of Grammer’s tour on their Facebook page, choosing to keep the specifics of which luxury cars caught his eye under wraps. The post swiftly garnered buzz amongst the local crowd, with many expressing their delight.
