Christopher just joined the family.”
The Frasier actor and Kayte now have a total of four children together. Christopher joins their daughter Faith, aged 13, and sons Kelsey Gabriel, 11, and Auden James, 8.

Reflecting on his children’s interest in the entertainment industry, Kelsey expressed pride during an interview with Variety. He emphasized his support for their choices, stating, “To think that all my kids…are all drawn to this industry. And she said, ‘That’s something to be proud of.’ It’s something I’ve never told them.” Kelsey also highlighted the challenges and blessings of being in the limelight, acknowledging the mixed reactions associated with his last name.
The Simpsons star shared that his greatest joy comes from having all his children together in one room. He attributed his work in the industry to enabling such family moments, expressing his desire to pass on the lessons and experiences he gained to his children.
