20 Celebrities Who Married Ordinary People
18. Kelsey Grammer and Kayte Walsh
Love knows no boundaries or class designations, just ask Kelsey Grammer.
In December 2009 on a flight to England, Grammer met his wife Kayte Walsh.
The airline attendant on that fateful Virgin Atlantic Airways flight immediately caught his eye, and less than two years later the couple got married on February 25, 2011.
Grammer has described their meeting as very romantic and said that several days after the flight landed, the two met for coffee and had a magical evening in the snow.
Grammer has been married three times before and has five children. He was married to Doreen Aldermann from 1982 to 1990. Grammer then married Leigh-Anne Csuhany in 1992, but the couple got divorced just a year later.
Grammer’s marriage to Camille Donatacci was the longest, lasting from 1997 to 2011. In fact, Grammer and Walsh got married just two weeks after his divorce from Donatacci was finalized.
Following early success on stage at venues across the United States, Grammer had a career breakthrough as Frasier Crane on the NBC comedy “Cheers.” His character was so popular, and Grammer was so successful in that role, that NBC granted him his own spin-off entitled “Frasier.”
His spin-off series ran for 11 years and saw Grammer play the character of Frasier Crane for 20 years on American television.
