The Hollywood legend has surprised fans by revealing that he's embracing fatherhood once more with the arrival of his newborn.

Kelsey Grammer isn't showing any signs of slowing down at 70, as he's become a father in his later years. He revealed on the October 27 episode of the "Pod Meets World" podcast that he and his wife, Kayte Walsh, recently welcomed their fourth child together — his eighth overall.

While discussing his memoir "Karen: A Brother Remembers," written in honor of his late sister, Kelsey mentioned that he and Kayte, 46, "just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids." The interviewer responded with surprise, "Oh my god. Congratulation [sic]."

"It was like three days ago," Kelsey said, adding, "Christopher, that's just joined the family." He and his wife of 14 years, Kayte, share three other children — daughter Faith, 12, and sons Gabriel, 10, and James, 8.

Kelsey also has daughters Spencer, 41, Greer, 33, and Mason, 23, and son Jude, 20, from previous relationships. Now, he has begun a new chapter with his newborn, Christopher. Here's a look at all his other seven children from four different relationships.

Spencer was born in Los Angeles, California, to Kelsey and his first wife, dance instructor Doreen Alderman. After their divorce, Kelsey contributed $7,000 a month toward the care of Spencer.

The two were married for two years before separating and eventually finalizing their divorce in 1990. Their daughter is an actress and producer. She has featured in "Rick and Morty," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," and "Roommate Wanted." Spencer was previously married to James Hesketh.

While he was in a relationship with former professional ice skater Cerlette Lammé, Kelsey welcomed a daughter, Greer, with Barrie Buckner, a bartender and part-time film makeup artist. At the time, he started providing child support for Greer.

Greer was born on February 15, 1992, in Los Angeles, California. She has built a career as an actress and producer. She is best known for her roles in "Awkward," "Deadly Illusions," and "The Middle."

Kelsey and his then-wife, former Playboy model Camille Donatacci, had their daughter, Mason Olivia, via surrogate in October 2001.

The couple later became parents to a son, Jude Gordon Grammer, who was also born through surrogacy in Sacramento in 2004. Jude weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces, and joined his parents in Los Angeles shortly after his birth. At the time, the couple had been married for seven years.

In 2012, Kelsey and Kayte welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Faith Evangelina Elisa Grammer. She was born in Los Angeles, weighing 6 pounds, 2 ounces.

At the time, the couple shared that they had initially been expecting twins but lost their baby boy earlier in the pregnancy. They chose to keep the loss private, describing it as a deeply painful experience. However, they expressed gratitude for the safe arrival of their daughter and hope for the future.

Kelsey and Kayte had their second child together, a son named Kelsey Gabriel Elias, in 2014. He was born in Los Angeles in 2014, at 8:28 a.m., weighing 8 pounds, 2 ounces.

The couple shared their joy over his arrival, noting that he would go by his middle name, Gabriel, in keeping with a family tradition of using middle names.

Kelsey and Kayte welcomed their third child together, a son named Auden James Ellis, in 2016. According to the couple’s representative, they chose the name to honor two of their favorite artists — poet W.H. Auden and singer-songwriter James Taylor.

Kelsey and Kayte were spotted in London in June 2025 as news surfaced that they were expecting their fourth child together. The couple enjoyed a stroll with their children, Faith, Gabriel, and James, during the outing.

Walsh wore a flowing navy blue nap dress that appeared to reveal her growing baby bump as the family looked happy and relaxed. At the time, they were awaiting the arrival of their youngest son, Christopher, who has since been born.

Kelsey has spoken about how he has come a long way to become a better father, noting that he has been trying to catch up and rebuild stronger connections with some of his older children.

"I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two. I'm trying to make up for a little of it now. I'm still their dad, so you can always have [a] chance to show up," he explained.

Kelsey also spoke warmly about the moments he considers his most joyful as a parent. "My children — my young children, older children — the happiest I ever am is if they're all in the same room together. My work has allowed me to be able to do that," he said.

The actor shared that he has had a great experience of acting, describing it as painful, challenging, hard, and tragic at times, but also deeply fulfilling. He added that he hoped to pass that sense of appreciation for life on to his children.

Still, Kelsey noted that he never guided his children toward Hollywood, yet many of them have naturally found their way into the industry. His daughter Spencer starred alongside him in the Lifetime holiday film "The 12 Days of Christmas Eve."

Greer has even made an appearance in "Frasier." His younger children with Kayte, whom he married in 2011, are also showing creative inclinations.

Faith has developed an interest in animation, Gabriel once auditioned for "Stranger Things" but didn't land the role, and James has begun storyboarding his favorite films, "Jaws and Ghostbusters."

Kelsey is now focused on giving his best to his younger children while continuing to be present and supportive of his older ones, even as they lead independent lives.
