Yes, David Walliams has one child: his son Alfred, whom he shares with ex-wife Lara Stone. Alfred was born in May 2013 and is 13 as of November 2026. There is no verified public announcement of another child. Stone’s younger son, Bob, is from her later marriage to David Grievson.

What Confirms That Walliams Is a Father?

The family’s pregnancy and birth announcements, followed by years of interviews about parenting, establish that Alfred is his son. The question does not depend on identifying a child from a photograph or interpreting an anonymous social media claim.

Walliams and Stone announced they were expecting a baby in late 2012. Their son arrived in May 2013, during their marriage.

Later interviews have referred consistently to Alfred as Walliams’ only child. That gives a clear basis for the one-child count without requiring access to private family records.

Does He Have Sons or Daughters?

His publicly confirmed child is one son. No reliable report reviewed here establishes that he also has a daughter.

Because Walliams works as a children’s author, he is often photographed at events with young readers. Those images can be misunderstood when separated from their original captions.

A school visit, book signing or television appearance involving children is not evidence of a family relationship. The child count should come from confirmed personal announcements, rather than from the number of children appearing near him at a public event.

Who Is the Child’s Mother?

Lara Stone is Alfred’s mother. The Dutch model married Walliams in May 2010 after they began dating the previous year. Alfred was born approximately three years after their wedding.

The couple separated in 2015 and later divorced. Their son was still a young child at the time, and subsequent interviews have discussed parenting after the end of the marriage.

Stone’s modelling career and Walliams’ entertainment work gave the family a high public profile, but they generally chose not to make Alfred a regular subject of publicity.

Why Do Some Reports Mention Two Children?

The likely source of confusion is Stone’s second son, Bob. She welcomed him with David Grievson in July 2023 after their 2021 wedding.

Stone is therefore a mother of two, while Walliams is the father of one publicly confirmed child. Bob and Alfred are half-brothers through their mother.

The two fathers’ shared first name can make a short summary confusing. Including “Walliams” and “Grievson” makes it clear which marriage and which child an article is discussing.

How Old Is Alfred Today?

Alfred is 13 years old in November 2026. He turned 13 in May, based on the reported month and year of his birth.

A story describing his ninth birthday belongs to 2022. A later article calling him twelve belongs to the period before May 2026. Those are not different children or competing birth dates; they are accounts written at different times.

Checking the original date is especially useful when an old interview is reposted. The age mentioned in the recording remains historical even if the clip has appeared online again recently.

What Has Walliams Shared About Parenthood?

He has described fatherhood as changing the way he thinks about everyday responsibilities. His interviews often focus on shared activities, particularly reading, rather than on a detailed account of his son’s routine.

Walliams has said they read Roald Dahl together and that Alfred sometimes suggests ideas or phrases that interest him as a writer. Such comments describe a parent-child interaction, not a formal publishing partnership.

He has also spoken proudly about Alfred choosing to raise money for children affected by the war in Ukraine for his ninth birthday. The account was shared in 2022 and concerned a donation to UNICEF.

Why Does He Keep Alfred Private?

Walliams has explained that he wants his son to be able to choose whether he wants a public life. Extensive exposure during childhood could remove some of that choice before the child is old enough to decide.

This helps explain why readers can find many interviews about Walliams’ books but relatively few details about Alfred. Limited publicity is consistent with a deliberate parenting preference.

It also means there is no reason to guess his school, location or private relationships. Those details are unnecessary to answer whether his father has children.

Has There Been a Recent Family Announcement?

In October 2026, Stone disclosed that she was receiving treatment after a breast cancer diagnosis. Her announcement concerned her own health and did not change the number of children attributed to either parent.

Walliams also attracted professional headlines in November when Alton Towers closed an attraction area based on his work. That event was unrelated to a new birth announcement.

The answer remains yes: David Walliams has one son, Alfred, with Lara Stone. There is no verified basis in the current public record reviewed here for adding a daughter or identifying Stone’s younger son as another child of Walliams.
