She revealed that her daughter Aurelia made a sweet suggestion that if the baby were a boy, she’d like it to be named “Parker” after her father. Kelsey said: “I feel like Aurelia’s been in this world before. And when I was eight weeks pregnant, she came up and started talking to a baby in my tummy.
She revealed that being pregnant was “amazing but also bittersweet” given that she and Tom had hoped to have four children together. Kelsey said that she felt as though Tom has been sending her signs throughout her pregnancy and that he’s given her his blessing.
“I’m very spiritual and so is Will,” she said. “Especially after he lost his dad, he believes in signs from loved ones, like me – and I’ve had so many from Tom. Will’s seen them too – he doesn’t think I’m crazy.”. On Christmas Day, Kelsey said that a candle suddenly flew off the fireplace and crashed to the floor, and she took it as a sign from her late husband.
