Greer Grammer Says Kelsey Once Urged Her to Drop His Last Name After 12-Year Estrangement

She recounted the conversation on a podcast after reconnecting with him as a teenager.

Overview

  • Greer Grammer said her father later told her he had suggested to her mother that Greer not use his surname because he expected to be absent from her life.
  • She recalled learning this around age 19 and starting to sob, though she added he was “not wrong” that it might have made growing up easier.
  • Greer kept the Grammer name, noting it was the name she had from birth and that her birth was publicly announced.
  • She said Kelsey covered her college tuition while she paid housing, books, and other costs herself, and she emphasized she has no trust fund.
  • Greer said their relationship is now good, as Kelsey has acknowledged neglecting some older children and recently expanded his family with a baby born in October 2025.
