Born on the island of Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, Kelsey studied theater in high school in Florida before winning a scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School.
After making a splash on Broadway, including a Tony nomination, Kelsey brought his talents to Tinseltown, where he immediately landed the role of Frasier in the famous NBC sitcom. He continued to star in the political drama «Boss» and had roles in «30 Rock» and «Modern Family». He even added a fifth Emmy Award for his work as Sideshow Bob in «The Simpsons».
Outside of his numerous films and TV projects, Kelsey has a lot of children — seven, to be exact! The theater actor shares daughter Spencer with his first wife Doreen Alderman. In November 2022, Spencer and Kelsey announced that they would be starring together for the first time in the holiday film «12 Days of Christmas», - following their appearance on the «Today» show.
Kelsey then welcomed daughter Greer with his ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner. Married to Camille Grammer, the star became the father of daughter Mason and son Jude, and with his current wife Kayte Walsh, he shares daughter Faith and sons Gabriel and Auden. Learn more about the family below.
Kelsey’s eldest child, Spencer, was born on October 9, 1983. Following in her father’s footsteps, she made her way in Hollywood as a voice actress, appearing as Summer Smith in the popular animated series «Rick and Morty». She also made a name for herself on screen with roles in TV shows like «Tell Me a Story», - «Barbarian and Troll», - «Brampton's Own», - «Scorpion», - «Greek», - and «Mr. Robinson». Spencer also gave Kelsey his only grandchild when she welcomed son Emmett with her ex-husband James Heskett in 2011.
Born on February 15, 1992, Greer is also following in her father’s footsteps. The young star has already landed the role of Grace in the hit Netflix movie «Deadly Illusions». But she is definitely a bit hesitant to ask her famous father for help in Tinseltown, even in his own «Frasier» reboot. «I would definitely love to be a part of the 'Frasier' reboot», - Greer told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. «I don’t know how to ask for it, though you would think I would, that it would be obvious. Like, 'Dad! Give me a role!' but I always get so nervous when asking my dad for something», - she admitted.
Born in October 2001, Mason was Kelsey’s first child with his former star wife Camille. Mason has appeared alongside her mother on Bravo shows multiple times. She once praised her father for becoming «a better father with each child», - according to Closer. «When I was growing up, he was very strict», - she said. «Now he’s more relaxed with my younger brothers and sisters. It’s fun!»
Kelsey welcomed his first son, Jude, via surrogate on August 28, 2004. The teenager stayed out of the spotlight, appearing only a few times with his mother, Camille, when she was on «The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills».
On July 13, 2012, Kelsey and his new wife Kayte welcomed their first child together, daughter Faith. «We are thrilled», - the couple told People at the time. «Mother and baby are in excellent health». However, earlier, during her pregnancy, Kayte was expecting twins, but the boy died. «Today we are blessed with a healthy baby and a long term sadness», - they added. «We choose to celebrate the life we have been given. We proudly introduce our Faith to the world today, looking forward to the days and children yet to come».
Gabriel, named after Kelsey, was born on July 22, 2014. «We are blessed and thrilled that this beautiful young man has joined our family — he is magnificent», - Kelsey and Kayte told People
