Cheers to Kelsey Grammer’s great brother!
The “Frasier” alum has had eight children with four different women over the years, and recently revealed that his son Christopher is due in October 2025.
The actor shares young children with wife Kate Walsh, daughter Faith, and sons Gabriel and James.
Grammer previously fathered now-adult children Spencer, Greer, Mason, and Jude with ex-girlfriends Doreen Alderman, Barry Buckner, and Camille Grammer.
He told the Guardian in 2018 that growing his family as an “older father” in his later years was a “gift,” admitting that he was “able to try again.”
Below, we introduce Kelsey’s eight children.
Spencer Cullen Grammer
Kelsey became a father in October 1983, one year after their marriage. At that time, Kelsey and the alderman’s daughter Spencer were born.
Spencer has followed in his father’s acting footsteps since making his debut on Cheers at the age of nine, and will be co-starring with him again in 2022 in The Twelve Days of Christmas Eve.
At the time, Kelsey expressed “regret” over how much she worked during Spencer’s childhood, admitting to People that she “let down” Spencer, but has since “made amends.”
Spencer has a son named Emmett with ex-husband James Hesketh. The two were married from 2011 to 2017.

Kelsey and Alderman finalized their divorce in 1990, and the Emmy winner married Buckner.
The couple welcomed a daughter, Candace “Greer”, in February 1992, but broke up later that year.
Greer is an actress herself, best known for playing Lisa on MTV’s “Awkward.” She also appeared in the second season of the 2023 “Frasier” reboot.

Kelsey was married to Camille from 1997 to 2011, during which time they had two children. First, daughter Mason was born in October 2001 via surrogate.
Mason made headlines in 2018 when she spoke about her parents’ separation in Genlux magazine, calling it the “hardest time” of her life.
“After that, I changed a lot. I had more responsibilities, so I had to grow up faster. My father wasn’t around, so I didn’t see him much. My mother had a really hard time.”
Since then, Mason, who said she and her father have reached a friendly place where they can “talk about anything,” has dabbled in modeling and graduated from Emerson College in 2024.

Kelsey and Camille’s son Jude was also born to a surrogate mother and joined the family in August 2004.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum spoke exclusively to Page Six about Jude’s 2018 career plans.
“He wants to be like his father, who is an actor,” Camille said.
Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer
Kelsey and Camille’s marriage ended after he had an affair with flight attendant Kate Walsh, whom he married in 2011.
The couple started their family the following July, welcoming their daughter Faith.
The two were initially pregnant with twins, but “lost their little boy” shortly after announcing their pregnancy.
When Faith arrived, Kelsey and Walsh wrote: “Today we celebrate a glorious birth that leaves us with sadness. We choose to celebrate the life we have been given. Today, we proudly share our faith with the world as we look forward to the days ahead and the children yet to be born.”

Walsh gave birth to a son, Kelsey Gabriel, who goes by his middle name, in July 2014.
“We are happy and excited to have this lovely young man join our family,” they told fans at the time. “He’s great.”
Kelsey later told People that the child’s personality was “really easy-going and pleasant.”
Auden James Ellis Grammer
Auden joined the family in November 2016, and his parents explained the origin of his name in a statement.
The nickname was “chosen to honor the great poet W.H. Auden”, while his middle name, James, “was taken from two of[their]favorites, another great poet and singer, James Taylor”.
Walsh and Kelsey mostly keep their children out of the spotlight, and Auden is no exception.

In June 2025, news broke that Walsh was pregnant with her fourth child and Kelsey’s eighth.
The Golden Globe winner revealed on the podcast episode “Pod Meets World” that she welcomed her son, Christopher, in October of the same year.
“That happened three days ago,” the proud father enthused to listeners. “Christopher has just joined the family.”
