Kelsey Parker has announced that she is pregnant with her third child – a year after suffering a devastating stillbirth with boyfriend Will Lindsay.
The couple were due to give birth to their first child together, a baby boy named Phoenix, last summer but he was tragically “born sleeping” at 39 weeks.

Alongside the post, she wrote: “A year ago next month, we lost our beautiful baby boy, Phoenix. And somehow, through all the heartbreak, it feels like Tom and Phoenix have sent us another little gift from heaven our little rainbow baby.”
Fans and famous faces were quick to congratulate Kelsey on the news in the comments below. Susanna Reid wrote: “Oh this is so amazing – all the love in the world. Congratulations.”
“Beautiful news congratulations to you both,” Anna Williamson penned, while Jess Impiazzi replied: “So happy Kels. Sending you lots of love.”
Kelsey started dating Will in 2024, following the death of the Wanted singer in March 2022, after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.
She faced yet more devastation last year when she announced that her baby boy – her first child with her new partner – was “born sleeping”.

At the time, she posted a poignant poem about their loss on social media, with the caption: “Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved.”
Despite the loss, Kelsey remained upbeat about her future in a candid conversation with OK! Magazine just weeks before sharing the news of her pregnancy.
When asked about possibly expanding her family, she said: “We would love to have more. The children wanted Phoenix so badly, and it was going to be the light at the end of our tunnel… but it’s not actually happened that way for us. I do think the children would definitely want a sibling.”
“All you can do is look forward. Last year was really tough, but I’m still here, I’m still living. I still have two healthy children, so I think you can only move forward and look forward,” she added of her grief.

Kelsey was previously married to Tom, after they met on a night out in 2009. They eventually walked down the aisle in 2018, before welcoming children Aurelia and Bodhi together.
She previously shared her belief that her late husband was “looking after” Phoenix, and revealed that this has given her “peace” amid her grief.
“It has always stayed with me that Will was looking after Tom’s children here, and now Tom is with Phoenix, looking after him for Will,” she said on Instagram.
“A medium once told me Tom had Phoenix in his arms, and was caring for Phoenix. Whether you believe in that or not doesn’t matter… what matters is the peace it brings.
