TV star Kelsey Parker has exclusively revealed that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay, 27. And though she couldn’t be happier, she admits the moment is bittersweet, as she and her late husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, had always talked about having four children. Sadly, it was not meant to be, as Tom tragically died of brain cancer in March 2022 aged just 33, leaving behind Kelsey and their two children Aurelia, now five, and Bodhi, four.
“Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans. So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet”, she reveals. “The joys of finding out I’m pregnant and moving forward with my life, while thinking, ‘My life could have been so different...’ I’ve felt every emotion under the sun. I’m still getting my head around it but I’m so excited.”.
And a deeply emotional moment in her pregnancy journey, she admits, tearing up, was telling her late husband Tom’s family. “Tom’s mum Noreen is just amazing. She gave me her blessing instantly, she can’t wait to have another grandchild. All I care about is that both our families and Tom’s family are happy.”.
She added of her close bond to her mother-in-law, “Noreen is the most amazing lady. After Tom passed, she said to me, ‘As long as you’re happy Kels, whatever you do, we will always support you and be happy for you.’ We’ve all been through so much together. But I’m here and bringing another baby into the world.”.
Tom continues to be a strong presence in Kelsey and her family’s life, however - including her new partner, Will, who says,“Tom was a massive part of Kelsey’s life – they were together for over 13 years, and had two beautiful children. So it’s normal to talk about him a lot. I think it would be weird if we didn’t.”.
