Kelsey Grammer’s Wife Kayte Is Pregnant With His 8th Child—2 Years After Couple Bought U.K. Home To Be Closer to Her Family

Kelsey Grammer is set to become a father of eight after People reported that his wife, Kayte Walsh, is pregnant with their fourth child.

In images published by the outlet, Walsh, 46, is seen showing off her baby bump while enjoying an outing with Grammer, 70, in London this week. Two years earlier, the couple purchased a permanent home base in the U.K. to be closer to Wash’s family, who hail from Bristol.

The “Cheers” actor and his spouse of 14 years—who share daughter Faith, 12, and sons Gabriel, 10, and James, 8—were pictured enjoying a stroll through a London park, taking full advantage of the balmy summer weather in the British capital.

Realtor.com® has contacted Grammer’s spokesperson for comment.

Walsh sported a long black sundress under a beige cardigan, while carrying a bottle of water and a shopping bag.

Meanwhile, Grammer looked every inch the dapper dad in a pair of white shorts and a blue polo shirt, while accessorizing with a pair of aviator-style shades.

Their outing in London—and their exciting news—comes just weeks after Grammer faced upset from residents of the rural town in which he purchased his U.K. property over his plans to tear down the historic dwelling.

According to SWNS, locals in the quaint Somerset village where Grammer purchased a cottage in 2023 were outraged after the “Frasier” star was given permission to demolish a cottage on the land to make way for a new four-bedroom abode.

“It’s such a shame because it’s a beautiful building with character, it’s old, and it’s part of the community,” local resident Wendy Osment, 74, told the outlet, according the New York Post. “People have already taken a couple of the old cottages down.”

Osment also railed against rising prices in the local area, noting that her grandchildren are unable to move closer to her because wealthy buyers have driven up the cost of properties.

Another local, Susan Smart, 76, added: “I would like it to stay like that, but unfortunately, I think in this climate, people have got the money, they buy houses and do things you’re only able to do if you’ve got the money to pay for it.

“I just hope it’s in keeping with the other houses that have been done. Three properties have been knocked down over the past year.”

Initially, Grammer had applied for permission to build a sizable extension onto the existing home. The process would have involved demolishing three walls of the home to make way for an addition that would be twice the size of the original structure.

However, those plans were rejected by the local council, forcing Grammer to consider another option: the complete demolition of the dwelling, which regulations specify must take place on or before February 2030.

Though the actor—who is also father to four other children from three past relationships—clearly has big plans for his British abode, it’s understood that he is not planning to relocate to the U.K. full-time. Instead, he will head back and forth between that property and the U.S.

According to multiple reports, he and Walsh purchased the cottage as a permanent base for them to be closer to her family, who live in Bristol, which is about 35 minutes away by car.

Over the years, Grammer has owned multiple dwellings in the U.S., including a sprawling property in the Hamptons, which he sold in 2011, not long after marrying Walsh, and a stunning Malibu mansion that was last on the market for just under $20 million.

He also once held the keys to a New York condo, which he put on the market in 2016 for $9.75 million.

His luxurious property portfolio is a far cry from the humble Pompano Beach, FL, dwelling where the actor spent much of his childhood—an experience that he recently opened up about in very intimate detail in his memoir, “Karen: A Brother Remembers.”

The tome was dedicated to his sister, Karen, who was brutally murdered after moving away from the family home to Colorado Springs.

Grammer revealed his grief over the death of his beloved sibling and the trauma he experienced from having to identify the 18-year-old’s body, recalling the moment the police turned up on the family’s doorstep in Florida to reveal that Karen had been killed.

At the time of Karen’s death, the actor was living at the family’s Pompano Beach home. His younger sibling, whom he described as “funny and free-spirited,” had moved away to Colorado after graduating from high school.

Just months after she moved away, detectives turned up on the Grammer family’s doorstep with gut-wrenching news: They had found the body of a Jane Doe whom they believed was Karen.

Karen was abducted on July 1, 1976, by Freddie Lee Glenn and his accomplice, Michael Corbett, who were planning on robbing the Red Lobster restaurant where she worked.

But in a heinous turn of events, they kidnapped Karen before raping her and stabbing her 42 times, nearly decapitating her in the process.

“The coroner noted that through a gaping wound in her neck, he could see all the way into Karen’s lung. I had been right in saying he almost decapitated her. Freddie Glenn punched holes in my sister’s body with unimaginable brutality,” Grammer described.

Later in the memoir, Grammer revealed that he and Karen were extremely close as they were the only two siblings and they grew up with a single mother.
