Who is Kayte Walsh?

Kayte Walsh was born in England, on 7 January 1979 – her zodiac sign is Capricorn, and she holds British nationality. She’s a reality TV star and a producer, but perhaps known best for being married to the “Frasier” star, Kelsey Grammer.

Early life, family and education

Kayte is the eldest daughter of the former English soccer player Alan Walsh, and his wife Susan. Kayte’s father played for Bristol City, Besiktas and Darlington, among others. During his career, he became known for being the early exponent of the stepover soccer trick, known as ‘Walshy Shuffle’, which was later popularized by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Katye has a younger sister named Sophie, and a younger brother Phil, who is also a soccer player, for Dagenham & Redbridge. She matriculated from a local high school in 1997, but didn’t enroll at college, and instead worked odd jobs before she landed a job as a stewardess.

Rise to popularity

Despite being a daughter of a famed soccer player, Kayte has kept a low profile for most of her life, never appearing in media. That changed suddenly in summer 2010, when paparazzi caught her spending time with the former “Frasier” star, Kelsey Grammer. It was right after the actor filed for divorce from his third wife, former “Playboy” model, Camille Donatacci, which sparked rumors that Kelsey had been cheating on his then-wife, and that his affair is what ultimately caused their separation. After the pictures came out, it took only a few days for the magazine “Daily Mail” to reveal that the woman in photos was in fact, Kayte, who is 25 years Kelsey’s junior.

Kayte soon confirmed that she’s pregnant with Kelsey’s child, which caused even more public outrage. His ex-wife was also one of the main stars of the reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” at the time, and the scandal became one of the most prominent storylines of the season, with Camille often putting the blame on Kayte for ‘ruining her life’.

Marriage with Kelsey Grammer

While Kayte was still working as a flight attendant, she spent a lot of time in New York City, as she had to stop there frequently during her flights to the US, thus it’s speculated that that’s where the couple first met.

Kayte publicly revealed that she’s pregnant with Kelsey in June 2010, but in October Kelsey reported that she had unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. Amidst the scandal involving Kelsey’s former wife, the two announced their engagement in December 2010.

Kayte and Kelsey married in a private ceremony at The Plaza Hotel in New York City on 25 February 2011, only two weeks after the famous actor finalized his divorce from Camilla. For their first anniversary, the couple celebrated by renewing their vows at the Little Church of the West in Las Vegas, Nevada, but that wasn’t all – a few months later, Kelsey surprised his wife with another romantic act – having her name tattooed on his hip.

They welcomed their first child, a daughter they named Faith Evangeline on 13 July 2012, and two years later, Kayte gave birth to their son Kelsey Gabriel, and in 2016, they had another boy, Auden James.

Career and personal life

Prior to landing a job as a flight attendant, in the late 2000’s, Kayte worked as an assistant producer and camerawoman on several British TV shows, which included “Tabatha Takes Over”, “The ½ Hour News Hour”, and “Game Show in My Head”.

After marrying Kelsey, she briefly returned to TV, but this time as an actress and producer. Kayte made her acting debut in the 2011-2012 crime drama series “Boss”, created by Farhad Safinia, and which also starred her husband. In the following year, she was credited as a writer and an executive producer for the short-lived TV show “WhyUGotDumped”, and also produced three episodes of “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers”, a hidden camera comedy series, in which a group of senior citizens guided by the actress Betty White, played pranks on younger people.
