Actor Kelsey Grammer to be a father for eighth time at age 70
Actor Kelsey Grammer is set to be a father for the eighth time, at age 70.
The Frasier actor is set to welcome his fourth child with wife Kayte Walsh, 46.
The news was confirmed by DailyMail.com on Thursday, with photos showing the couple out in London — Walsh cradling her baby bump as the pair strolled along a street.
'Kelsey is thrilled to finally have time to fully enjoy being a father all over again,' a source told the publication.
'He's been incredibly supportive of Kayte throughout this pregnancy which, though unexpected, has reignited a spark in their marriage that they both needed.
'This will be their fourth child together and, with Kelsey's other three children from his past marriages, their new bundle of joy will have so much love.
'After giving Frasier one last go, he has hung his hat up on that character and is ready for the next phase of his life. He is looking forward to embracing the hands-on parenting he missed in the past.'
Grammer and Walsh are already parents to daughter Faith Grammer, 12, and sons Kelsey Gabriel Grammer, 10, and Auden 'James' Ellis Grammer, 8.
The actor, who has been married four times, also has a daughter, Spencer Grammer, 41, with ex-wife Doreen Alderman, and daughter Greer Grammer, 33, with ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner.
He also daughter Mason Olivia Grammer, 23, and son Jude Gordon Grammer, 20, with former Real Housewives star Camille Grammer.
In May, Grammer told US People magazine he was absorbed in his work in the early days of fatherhood.
'I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two. I'm trying to make up for a little of it now. I'm still their dad, so you can always have (a) chance to show up,' he said.
'I probably should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones.
'I'm pretty tolerant with the young ones, but I'm clear about how there's certain expectations and certain ways to navigate through a social situation: keep it close to the vest and play it straight, and you're going to be well-served in your life.'

Kevin Costner's lawyer slams sexual harassment claims
Kevin Costner's lawyer has described of sexual harassment allegation against the actor as "meritless". The Yellowstone actor is being sued by Devyn LaBella, who has claimed she was subjected to a "violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene" without notice on set in May 2023 while filming Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2. The 24-year-old stuntwoman's team first filed the lawsuit against Costner and Horizon producers in May and have filed an amended complaint including text messages with the movie's intimacy co-ordinator, and the alleged emotions she felt after the scene. In response, Costner's lawyer Marty Singer told in a statement: "Ms LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an insert shot for a scripted scene. There was no intimacy or anything sexual in the shot. "There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor." The lawyer has also alleged that LaBella - who was a stunt double for series star Ella Hunt - thanked her supervisor for "these wonderful weeks" after finishing work on the Western saga. "Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms LaBella's meritless claims," Singer said. "We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit.' Court documents obtained by say LaBella was hired as a stunt double for lead actress Ella Hunt and not informed or consented to the added scene, which she alleges caused "permanent trauma". She also claimed the absence of an intimacy co-ordinator during filming. Her suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, states the scene was not on the call sheet and Hunt refused to perform it, allegedly walking off set. She said Costner directed actor Roger Ivens to perform the assault scene and asked her to stand in without adequate preparation or safeguards. Kevin's lawyer Marty Singer denied the allegations, calling her a "serial accuser" and accusing her of "shakedown tactics". "Kevin always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously," he said. Her lawyers described the case as "emblematic of what is still a very deep-rooted issue in Hollywood" and "a clear example of male-dominated, sexist Hollywood movie production". 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) National Sexual Abuse and Redress Support Service 1800 211 028 Kevin Costner's lawyer has described of sexual harassment allegation against the actor as "meritless".

Katy Perry struck down with 'fever' in Australia amid reports she has split with fiancé Orlando Bloom after nine years
Katy Perry has been struck down with a "fever" in Australia amid reports the pop star and Orlando Bloom have split after nine years together. Perry, 40, first sparked concerns when she stopped to interact with fans at Kingscote Airport ahead of her run of concerts in Adelaide this week. In footage obtained by 7NEWS Adelaide, the pop star could be seen stepping off her private jet before being met with a swarm of supports. Perry appeared to maintain a safe distance from the fans where she could and then dropped a bombshell about her health to one. A man asked the star if she was enjoying her stay in Australia as she signed autographs and posed for photos. "Yes, but I got very sick last night. I'm trying not to get sick. I had a random fever," the Firework hitmaker said in response. Perryrcut a casual figure as she exited her jet, sporting a tan coat, cap, and sunglasses, but appeared in high spirits nonetheless. She will kick off her run of shows in the City of Churches on Thursday at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. The mother-of-one will then light up the stage for more revellers at shows on Friday, Sunday and Monday. Perry surprised fans with her early arrival at the airport on Kangaroo Island, where she enjoyed a refreshing week-long break before the gigs. Together with her daughter Daisy Dove, four, Perry was treated to breathtaking views at Southern Ocean Lodge, located above Hanson Bay. Staying at the luxury, award-winning lodge can put a dent in the hip pocket, coming in at a whopping AUD $3,400 per night. News of Perry's poor health follows fresh split rumours with Bloom after renting out the mansion she vowed to raise their daughter in. Perry fought tooth and nail to secure the $30 million home in the celebrity enclave of Montecito, California and was involved in a legal battle over it. She struck a deal with the seller, entrepreneur Carl Westcott, 85, who has Huntington's disease, for the purchase of the idyllic home in 2020. However, Westcott attempted to back out days after their deal, claiming he was under the influence of painkillers when he agreed to the sale. Perry's team sued to enforce the contract, and after a lengthy court row, a judge ruled in her favour, declaring her the legal owner of the property. Despite the hard-fought win, Perry recently handed the keys to the mansion to actor Chris Pratt, according to on Tuesday. The publication reported the Guardians of the Galaxy star is only living there temporarily with his spouse Katherine Schwarzenegger and three children, Lyla, four, Eloise, three, and Ford, seven months old, while they build a new mansion in LA. Sources close to Perry said she intends to return to the home to raise Daisy after Pratt's lease expires. Nevertheless, the move raised further concerns about her relationship with Bloom after reports they fought over her Blue Origin Space flight. Perry copped backlash after she said the mission in April was for "the benefit of Earth" and kissed the ground when she exited after landing. However, research later revealed the Blue Origin rocket launch released greenhouse gases, which "altered the stratosphere". At the same time, Bloom barely supported Perry over the controversy, which resulted in a massive row, according to "He told her the whole thing looked ridiculous," a source with knowledge of the alleged argument told the publication. Another source recently weighed in on the split rumours, telling People magazine that the Pop star and Bloom were "pretty much done". To Di For podcast host Kinsey Schofield last week told Sky News host Rita Panahi there is "disintegration" between Bloom and Perry as she continues to grapple with the criticism surrounding her latest album, 143. "Katy Perry's professional failures have really created some discomfort for her and some soul-searching," Ms Schofield said. "She has just had a really hard time processing the album bombing, the criticism that's come her way." Perry and Bloom first met at a Golden Globes after-party in 2016 and split for a year before becoming engaged on Valentine's Day 2019. Their daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, was born on August 26, 2020.
