He revealed that he and his wife, Kayte Walsh, aged 46, welcomed their fourth child together.
Welcome to the Family: Baby Christopher
Grammer expressed his excitement, stating, “It was like three days ago,” referring to the birth of his newest son, Christopher. This addition to the family brings Grammer’s total number of children to eight, including his three kids with Walsh: daughter Faith, 12, and sons Gabriel, 10, and James, 8.

He believes that teaching his children to “show up” is essential for their success in life.
