Kelsey and Camille Grammer’s divorce went through in New York today, which means he’s free to marry his 29 year-old British jump off on February 25 at the Plaza Hotel. That must be a relief to the new couple, since they’ve already sent out the invitations and presumably firmed up most of the other details. The divorce was bifurcated, which means Kelsey and Camille are legally split now but that they haven’t yet worked out all the pesky money issues. Since they own multiple properties around the world and there’s over a hundred million dollars at stake it could get complicated.
Kelsey has posted $2.3 million for the privilege of being free to marry the next one (also without a prenup) and as TMZ explains that “protects Camille’s pension rights against any new spouse.” Earlier reports have Camille balking at a settlement offer of $30 million. She is supposedly holding out for $50 million. All those nannies, managers, housekeepers and paid “yes” people don’t come cheap.
Camille has issued a statement to Radar Online saying she has mixed feelings but wishes Kelsey and Kayte the best. “I have a great many mixed feelings about today — I’m sad for what was, yet excited about the road ahead. I’m grateful to my family and friends who have stood by me through this time — I will never forget their love and support. What I most hope is that Kelsey and I can improve our communications and truly co-parent our two wonderful children; and I wish Kelsey and Kate love and happiness in their new marriage.”
Camille has recovered quite well from the probably accurate way she was portrayed on RHOBH this season.

Gross. Both of them are gross. And she truly seems like a mean, vindictive woman.
Okay, this is a big one for me and I need HELPPPP! It was my understanding that California law requires a six month waiting period after a divorce before either party can remarry. Do I have this wrong or what’s going on?
He’s a slimy jerk
Kelsey is so dumb, I wonder how long til he is back in divorce court.
@Rita I think he’s getting married in NY so that wouldn’t matter.
nice rub on how she ‘purposely’ spelled the new chick’s name wrong.
ohhhh, camille, you lil’ scamp. 😉
@mln76
It seems like the state of California wouldn’t recognize his NY marriage and thus his will should something happen. Maybe I’m making too much of it. Hello Geekgirl, can you help!!!
How?? How does the man marry again without a prenup?
@Roma- Because this time it’s for real and going to last! *Sarcasm intended*
what makes me sad is that gay marriage isn’t legal, but we allow people like Kelsey Grammer to constantly remarry. Maybe we should make it illegal after the second divorce to remarry? Everyone might takes their vows the first or second time around seriously..yeah right.
@RHONYC. Lol…i love Camille for that now.
i’d prob do it too…its the little things!
@Rita- Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I think that California won’t grant a divorce until 6 months after someone files. After it’s final you are free to get married again as soon as your heart desires.
@melinda
Thanks. So you’re saying he filed at least six months ago? God, how time files, I mean flies.
PS: I found it. The petitioner for divorce has to wait six months after filing with the court regardless if the “respondent” responds. I didn’t realize Kelsey filed that long ago.
Eh, I’d hold out for $50 mil, too. Why the hell not?
Should we start a pool to bet when the next Kelsey divorce would be? Seriously I think he needs professional help, he’s amazingly self destructive.
I agree, Hotpockets.
@hotpockets You are 100% absolutely right!
What does it matter, 30 or 50 million – she’s going to run through it and cry poverty in a few years like Eddie Murphy’s ex wife. She doesn’t strike me as the sensible type to make sure she invests properly, and obviously does not plan to work to support herself and her kids.
I would also recover “quite well” if I would be the future recipient of 50 million 🙂
Imo Kelsey will be the one to end up completely busted at the end of the day….not Camille. I want to see what transpires with Nick now that she’s divorced.
Kelsey looks like the crypt keeper in those photos.
wow, she has had SO much plastic surgery. on the RHOBH reunion, she copped to boobs and fillers and lips she claimed she took out. go to dlisted to see what her face looked like when she got married to Kelsey 13 years ago. cheek implants, nose job, eyebrow lift, everything. she looks 100% like a different person. holy cow!

@19, when you say “crypt keeper”, I think you mean noted terrible thespian and delusional presidential candidate Fred Thompson:

@ Rita & melinda – In the state of CA, a divorce cannot be finalised until at least 6 months from date of filing. And after all the rounds of filings on both parties’ parts, agreement on divorce settlement ($$$), child support and custody of minor children, and any other kitchen sink the attorneys decide to throw in.
However, in the event both parties agree to bifurcation, the divorce may be finalised WITHOUT an agreed upon settlement (generally “assets,” spousal, and the like). The settlement may be resolved in the future, allowing either (or both) parties to continue on their merry whoring ways.
Kelsey looks eerily like Drew Carrey in that first pic. My guess is it’s just the glasses, but still.
You know…this really explains Camille and what a collossal bitch she is. Honestly. I have a weird, twisted sort of sympathy for her.
@HotPockets….YES!!!!!!!! Like gay marriage is ruining the sanctity of marriage but THIS isn’t?!
Who cares. They are delusional self-involved assholes. Neither will be ‘scraping by’. What a joke. and you are all right about the gay marriage thing. My neighbor and his spouse have been togeter 42 years but cannot legally claim the privelege. How sad. Mr. G will be on that merry-go-round in about 5 years. They should sterilize these twits.
