Grammer and Miss Walsh were pictured in yesterday’s Daily Mail before her full identity emerged strolling happily together in New York just six weeks after the actor filed for divorce from his third wife.
It is not clear how the couple met, but Miss Walsh’s father confirmed last night that his daughter, who is from Bristol and works for Virgin Atlantic Airways, is pregnant with Grammer’s child.
Speaking from his £500,000 home in Portishead, Somerset, Mr Walsh told the Mail how his daughter had simply ‘hit it off’ with the actor best known for his roles in the U.S. sitcoms Frasier and Cheers.
Mr Walsh, 53, who is now a coach at Bristol City, said he and his wife Susan were happy with their daughter’s pregnancy, saying: ‘It’s great news and we are very pleased for them both.
‘I don’t know how long they have been together and I have not met him yet, but I’m looking forward to it. We just found out about her pregnancy a couple of days ago.
‘I think they met in New York socially because she works for Virgin Airways and often stops over in America.
‘The main thing is for them both to be happy and they are – they have just hit it off together.’

He added that he was a ‘big fan’ of Cheers and Frasier. Miss Walsh has a 23-year-old sister, Sophie, while her brother Phil is a football player for League One side Dagenham & Redbridge.
She is used to meeting celebrities when working in Upper Class for Virgin Atlantic on flights to and from America.
A friend revealed: ‘Kayte is a great girl, Kelsey is besotted with her, they are spending all their time together.’
Grammer filed for divorce from his third wife, 41-year-old former Playboy model Camille Donatacci, on July 1.

They cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the end of their 13- year marriage. She is seeking primary custody of their daughter Mason, eight, and son Jude, five.
His first marriage was to dance instructor Doreen Alderman and lasted from 1982 to 1990 during which time they had one child, Spencer, now 26, an actress.
He married stripper Leigh-Anne Csuhany in 1992. They parted after he claimed she was abusive and had beaten him up.
During this marriage, Grammer had a daughter out of wedlock, Greer Kandace, now 18, with hair and makeup stylist Barrie Buckner.
Grammer’s life has been marked by tragedy. When he was 13 his estranged father, Allen, was gunned down in a random attack by a psychopath.
His younger sister, Karen, was raped and stabbed to death 35 years ago by a gang of teenagers, a tragedy from which he never fully recovered and which led him into a self-destructive spiral of drink and drugs.
In 2008 he had a near-fatal heart attack.
He also battled the loss of his close friend, David Angell, the creator of Frasier, who died with his wife Lynn aboard American Airlines Flight 11 when it was crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York during the 9/11 attacks.
