Does David Walliams Have Kids? Meet His Son With Ex-Wife Lara Stone – Hollywood Life

When David Walliams reads to his son, Alfred, he often reaches for Roald Dahl. The children’s author has joked about how it would sound if he only read Alfred his own books. “I kind of just like to be dad,” he said in a 2020 interview. The former Britain’s Got Talent judge and Dutch model Lara Stone welcomed Alfred in 2013, three years after they married at Claridge’s in London. He’s their only child together.

Walliams returned to the headlines on November 10 after The Guardian and ITV News published grooming allegations that he denies. Below, learn more about Walliams and his family.

Who Is David Walliams?

Walliams is a British comedian, actor and children’s author who became known for creating and starring in Little Britain with Matt Lucas. The pair also made Come Fly With Me. Walliams joined the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel in 2012 and left in 2022 after apologizing for comments he made about contestants during breaks in filming.

His first children’s novel, The Boy in the Dress, came out in 2008. In a 2022 interview with HELLO!, Walliams said he sometimes develops ideas for years before finding the right story. Childhood films, overheard conversations and suggestions from his son have all influenced his writing.

Who Is David Walliams’ Son, Alfred?

Alfred is Walliams’ only child, whom he shares with Stone. He was born in May 2013. Stone recalled getting emotional on his first birthday. “On his birthday, I cried the whole day,” she told The EDIT in 2014, describing how quickly he had grown into a strong-minded toddler.

Walliams told HELLO! that Alfred asked to raise money for children affected by the war in Ukraine instead of receiving presents for his ninth birthday. Walliams promised to double the amount raised, and the money went to UNICEF. “I couldn’t have been prouder of him,” he said.

Walliams has also explained why he keeps Alfred out of the spotlight. He wants his son to decide for himself whether he wants a public life. “You don’t know what they’re going to want to do with their lives,” he said in the same interview.

Who Is David Walliams’ Ex-Wife?

Stone is a Dutch model who has appeared on Vogue covers and worked with brands including Calvin Klein, Givenchy and Tom Ford Beauty. Her career took off after designer Riccardo Tisci cast her in Givenchy’s fall 2006 couture show.

Stone and Walliams married in 2010, separated in 2015 and reached a divorce settlement in 2016. She later married property developer David Grievson in July 2021.
