Frasier star Kelsey Grammer is the proud father of seven children.
Grammer first became a parent in 1983, welcoming daughter Spencer with ex-wife Doreen Alderman. Spencer has since followed in her dad’s acting footsteps, best known for her role as Casey Cartwright on ABC Family’s (now Freeform) Greek.
Grammer and Spencer later shared the screen in the 2022 Lifetime movie The 12 Days of Christmas Eve, playing a father and daughter.
“I’ve learned so much from him as an actor [and] a lot of my work ethic comes from him as well,” Spencer said of her father during a November 2022 appearance on Today. “It was really easy to work together. [I’ve been] inspired by [his] comedic timing, it’s definitely influenced me.”

Mason Grammer
Mason is the eldest daughter of Kelsey and his ex-wife Camille Grammer, who was an original star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The exes split in 2010, and her parents’ divorce was particularly difficult on Mason, who graduated from Emerson College in 2024.
“It was the hardest time of my life,” she told Genlux Magazine in 2018. “I changed a lot after that. I had to grow up faster because I had a lot more responsibilities. My dad wasn’t around, so I didn’t see him much, and my mom had such a hard time. I became my younger brother’s mom. Everyone was on edge.”
At the time of the interview, Mason had reconciled with Kelsey, adding that she “can talk to him about everything.”
Jude Grammer
Kelsey and Camille welcomed son Jude ahead of their divorce. Like his sister Mason, Jude remains close to his father and often shares sweet social media tributes.
Jude graduated from high school in June 2023.
Faith, Kelsey and Auden Grammer
The actor married Kayte Walsh in 2011, welcoming daughter Faith one year later. The couple’s two sons followed in 2014 and 2016.
The Emmy winner was 61 when his youngest son, Auden, was born, and he was proud to welcome another child late in his life.
“The beauty of being an older dad is you get a chance to kinda try it again. That’s been a real gift,” he told The Guardian in August 2018. “I’m in a place [where] I’ve never been happier work-wise, and I do have time to see my family a lot. What I regretted earlier in my life was that I seemed to be so busy [that] sometimes that suffered.”
