Break out the tossed salad and scrambled eggs: Kelsey Grammer is now a father of eight.**
The 70-year-old *Frasier* star revealed that he recently welcomed his eighth child — his fourth with 46-year-old wife Kayte Walsh — on a recent episode of Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong's *Pod Meets World *podcast.**
"We just had our fourth one, so it just became eight kids," Grammer confirmed. "It was like three days ago. Christopher has just joined the family."

Grammer and Walsh, who married in 2011, share three children together: daughter Faith and sons Gabriel and James. He is also dad to daughter Spencer, whom he shares with ex Doreen Alderman, daughter Greer with ex Barrie Bruckner, and daughter Mason and son Jude with ex Camille Grammer.
On the podcast, Grammer admitted that he has told his younger group of children that they aren't allowed to read his book *Karen, a Brother Remembers,* just yet. The book, which was released in May, documents Grammer's experience learning of his younger sister's 1975 murder and how it impacts him moving forward.

"My 13-year-old, I've told her some of what happened and said, 'Maybe in another year or two you can probably read the book and be able to handle it. It's pretty brutal,'" he noted. "But she's a very sensitive kid too, so I wanna be careful about it some." **
He added that his 11-year-old son, Gabriel, is the one who has a ton of questions about how the loss of his sister affected him personally. **
"He's the one that's more inquisitive. He says, 'How do you feel about that? How does it make you feel? Do you want to kill the guy that killed your sister?' Stuff like that," Grammer said. "I said, 'Well, that wouldn't be right, babe. More death doesn't necessarily make things right.' He asks really probing questions."

Earlier this year, Grammer admitted in a PEOPLE interview that he didn't spend much time with his older children and is now actively "playing catch up" with them these days. "I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two," he said at the time. "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 also acknowledged that there are a few things that he would've done differently knowing what he does now about being a parent and the importance of setting expectations with kids.
"I probably should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones," he said. "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."
He continued, "I'm a little more specific with them about doing their studies and being prepared. [I tell them], 'What's your job in life? Showing up.'"
