Kelsey Grammer has been married and divorced more than once.

Not all of his previous marriages ended in divorce. It’s complicated.

In total, he has had four marriages and has racked up seven children (and counting) and one grandchild along the way.

Here’s a summary of the polarizing actor’s history and the current situation.

Doreen Alderman and Kelsey Grammer (1982 – 1990)

In 1982, Kelsey Grammer married dance instructor Doreen Alderman.

On paper, their marriage lasted eight full years.

In reality, they broke up after just two years.

The last six years of their marriage were a separation.

However, those two years were more than enough time to welcome Grammer’s first child, Spence, on October 9, 1983.

He and Barrie Buckner never married.

In 1992, Grammer welcomed her second child with Barrie Buckner.

Kandace Greer Grammer was born on February 15 of that year.

Although this came after his divorce from Alderman, he and the hair and makeup artist never married.

Still, in the summary of Grammer’s marriages and divorces, the mother of one of his children seems worthy of mention.

However, this relationship did not last long. She would remarry in 1992, but not to Buckner.
