News of Kelsey’s baby-to-be was revealed by People magazine, who shared exclusive photos that showed Kelsey and his wife Kayte Walsh on a walk in central London.
In the paparazzi pics, the 46-year-old film producer is clearly sporting a large baby bump under her black dress.
Kayte and Kelsey have been married since 2011, and have already welcomed three children together: Faith, 12; Gabriel, 10; and Auden, eight.
Kelsey is also a dad to four more kids.
The actor, who has been married four times, welcomed a daughter, Spencer, with his first wife Doreen Alderman in 1983. Spencer – who like many in her family followed her father's career to become an actor – is now 41.
Kelsey welcomed his second child, another daughter, with his ex-girlfriend Barrie Buckner in 1992. Greer, now 33, is also an actress.
With his third wife Camille Donatacci, Kelsey welcomed two more children: a third daughter called Mason, and Kelsey's first son, Jude Grammer, in 2001 and 2004 respectively.
In a recent interview with People, the X-Men actor opened up about how being an older father to his youngest three children has taught him a lot about how he could have been a better father to his older kids.
“I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two," the actor told the US publication.
"I'm trying to make up for a little of it now. I'm still their dad, so you can always have [a] chance to show up."
He added that he feels like he “should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones.”

He continued: “I'm pretty tolerant with the young ones, but I'm clear about how there's certain expectations and certain ways to navigate through a social situation... I'm a little more specific with them about doing their studies and being prepared.
“[I tell them]: 'What's your job in life? Showing up.'”
