The Four Wives of Kelsey Grammer, in Order
Kelsey Grammer has been married four times. Each marriage brought unique dynamics and, in most cases, children, contributing to his large and complex family structure.
1. Doreen Alderman (m. 1982; div. 1990)
Doreen Alderman was Kelsey Grammer's first wife. They were married for eight years and share one child, actress Spencer Grammer, who is known for her voice role as Summer Smith on the animated series Rick and Morty. Spencer is his eldest child and has followed in her father's acting footsteps.
2. Leigh-Anne Csuhany (m. 1992; ann. 1993)
Grammer’s second marriage was his shortest, lasting less than a year. The union with Leigh-Anne Csuhany was annulled shortly after they married. This period was widely reported as tumultuous, and the actor later described it as a difficult time in his life.
3. Camille Donatacci (m. 1997; div. 2011)
The marriage to model and dancer Camille Donatacci, now known as Camille Meyer, was arguably his most public, largely due to her starring role on the reality television series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). They were married for 13 years and share two children: daughter Mason Olivia and son Jude Gordon, who were born via surrogate. The dissolution of their marriage played out in the public eye as Camille joined the Bravo show while they were separating, making their divorce a prominent storyline.
4. Kayte Walsh (m. 2011; Present)
Kayte Walsh is Kelsey Grammer's current wife and the mother of his four youngest children. Their relationship began while his divorce from Camille was finalizing, leading to significant media attention at the time. Their marriage has proven to be his most enduring and fruitful, recently expanding their family in a surprising and joyous announcement.
Kayte Walsh: The Current Spouse and Mother of His Four Youngest
Kayte Walsh, a British former flight attendant, is a native of Hartlepool in Teesside. Her life changed dramatically when she met the Emmy-winning actor, leading to a partnership that has now lasted over a decade and produced four children, solidifying her role as the cornerstone of his current family life.
Their initial meeting is a classic Hollywood 'meet-cute.' Kayte was working as a Virgin Atlantic flight attendant in December 2009 when Kelsey Grammer was a passenger on a flight to London. Despite the 25-year age difference and the fact that Grammer was still married to Camille at the time, their connection was immediate and undeniable. They announced their engagement shortly after his divorce was finalized, and they married in February 2011 in a private ceremony in New York City.
Kayte Walsh has largely maintained a private life, supporting her husband's career while focusing on raising their growing family. She has often been credited by Grammer for helping him find a sense of peace and stability after years of personal turmoil.
A New Chapter: Baby Christopher and The Eighth Child at 70
The most significant and recent news regarding the couple came in late 2025, when Kelsey Grammer, at the age of 70, revealed that he and Kayte Walsh had welcomed their fourth child together—his eighth overall.
The newest addition to the Grammer family is a baby boy named Christopher. This announcement was made by the septuagenarian star during a recent podcast appearance, surprising many fans and media outlets. Christopher joins his older siblings from the couple: Faith Evangeline Elisa, Gabriel Gaston, and Auden James Ellis (who goes by James).
The decision to expand their family at this stage of life underscores the deep commitment and happiness the couple shares. Grammer has spoken publicly about the joy of being an older father, noting that he is "a bit more patient" now than he was in his younger years. This late-life fatherhood is a testament to the strength of his bond with Kayte, who is 46 years old.
The Full List of Kelsey Grammer's Children
Kelsey Grammer is a father to eight children spanning several decades and four different mothers, creating one of Hollywood’s most extensive family trees. This large family includes several children who have pursued careers in the entertainment industry, carrying on the family legacy.
- Spencer Grammer: Daughter with Doreen Alderman (actress, known for Rick and Morty).
- Greer Grammer: Daughter with Barrie Buckner (actress).
- Mason Olivia Grammer: Daughter with Camille Grammer (born via surrogate).

- Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer: Daughter with Kayte Walsh.
- Gabriel Gaston Grammer: Son with Kayte Walsh.
- Auden James Ellis Grammer (James): Son with Kayte Walsh.
- Christopher Grammer: Son with Kayte Walsh (newborn).
The sheer number of children and the wide age gap between his eldest, Spencer, and his newborn son Christopher—a difference of over 40 years—makes the Grammer family dynamic unique in Hollywood. This extensive family network is often a topic of curiosity, highlighting the actor's dedication to fatherhood despite his demanding career, which includes the recent success of the Frasier reboot.
Kayte Walsh’s Role in Kelsey Grammer's Stability
Kayte Walsh is frequently cited as a grounding force in Kelsey Grammer's life. The actor has been open about his struggles with addiction and personal tragedies, including the murder of his sister, Karen Grammer, and the early death of his father. His relationship with Kayte began shortly after a challenging period in his life, and she has been a steadfast source of support.
Their stable, long-term marriage contrasts sharply with the high-profile drama of his previous unions, particularly the contentious split from Camille Grammer, which became a focal point of reality TV. Kayte's presence is often viewed as a turning point, providing the veteran actor with the peace necessary to focus on his family and his professional resurgence, including his return to the role of Dr. Frasier Crane.
As they celebrate the arrival of Christopher, Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh continue to navigate their life together, proving that a fourth marriage can indeed be the one that brings lasting happiness and an ever-expanding, joyful family.
