11 months after her son Phoenix was born sleeping, Kelsey Parker is expecting a rainbow baby.

Kelsey, who was widowed in 2022 when her husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, died, and her new partner, Will Lindsay, are overjoyed to be expecting again.

Sharing their happy news on Sunday, Kelsey, who is also mum to Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, five, filmed a video of her family's hands covering her scan photos.

Alongside her cute video, Kelsey said: '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.'

Kelsey was inundated with congratulations, with one person summing it up for many as they wrote: 'I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy for someone I’ve never met.'

Sarah Louise Merrygold, who is married to JLS star Aston, wrote, ‘Oh babe this is amazing news, the biggest congratulations to you all,’ while Irish songwriter RuthAnne added: ‘The best news!!!!’

Kelsey has been very open about her grief and said on her podcast with Georgia Jones, Mum's The Word, at the start of the year that she was hoping 2026 would be a better year.

Speaking about how 2025 was very difficult, she said: 'It's okay, not to be okay, all the time...

'Sometimes I literally feel like I'm holding the whole world with my bare hands, but it's the only thing I've ever known how to do,

'It's pushing forward, it's keeping on going even when it's hard, even when I'm tired, because my babies are watching me, they're learning from me, they are my reason, my peace, and my power.

'I'm not okay, and I don't have to be. None of us do.'
