Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey Parker has revealed she’s expecting a baby with her new boyfriend Will Lindsay.
The 34-year-old announced the happy news on Saturday, with the pregnancy coming three years after The Wanted singer’s death.
Tom passed away in March 2022 from brain cancer aged 33. The pair had two children together, Aurelia, who is now five, and Bodhi, four.
In an interview with The Mirror, Kelsey discussed her recent pregnancy announcement, revealing, “Tom and I had always planned for a family of four, but life had other ideas. So, while this news is incredible, it also carries a hint of sadness.”
Expressing her mixed feelings, she shared, “The excitement of discovering I’m expecting juxtaposed with thoughts of what could have been. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions. I’m still processing everything, but I’m genuinely thrilled.”
Acknowledging that sharing her news puts her in a vulnerable position, Kelsey explained that she wanted others to share in her happiness and emphasized her desire for everyone to be joyful along with her.

The beauty also said that she believes that the pregnancy would have got Tom’s ‘blessing’, adding that he ‘wouldn’t want’ her to be living in ‘sadness’ amid his passing.
While she believes her late husband would have been happy with her moving on, Kelsey told how Tom’s mother also gave her blessing ‘instantly’ and told how breaking the news to his family was an emotional moment.
She explained: ‘She can’t wait to have another grandchild. All I care about is that both our families and Tom’s family are happy. 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’.
Kelsey’s two other children were also thrilled with the news, with the blonde beauty revealing she filmed the moment she told them so they can look back on the special moment.
Kelsey started dating tree surgeon Will, 27, last year told how her partner lives with her at the home she shared with Tom and the kids, remarking how he ‘gradually moved in’ when the time ‘felt right’.
The couple stated that they didn’t have a preference about the baby’s sex and were currently ‘undecided’ about whether they wanted to know the news – which is waiting for them on an email.
Elsewhere, Kelsey admitted that she hoped for a ‘calm and tranquil’ home birth, after her last two labours were ‘so traumatic’, with Bodhi’s birth particularly tough seeing as Tom was diagnosed with his brain tumour when Kelsey was 35 weeks pregnant.
Earlier this month, Kelsey revealed that her late husband told her to date again through a psychic, while she also hinted at having more children with her new boyfriend.
Speaking about her baby news in an interview with The Mirror, Kelsey shared: ‘Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans. So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet’

The widow said that spiritualists have been telling her that it was OK for her to find love again.
She explained that she was told to ‘get the wedding ring off’ because she was blocking potential in her pathway.
Kelsey, who is now dating tree surgeon Will, told The Sun: ‘I’m quite spiritual. I had been seeing spiritual people who told me that Tom was coming through, saying: ‘Get the wedding ring off as you’re blocking yourself, you need to move forward and meet someone.’
She then revealed that she and Tom had plans to have more children before he was diagnosed with the grueling disease, and it could still be on the cards in her new relationship.
She said: ‘I do think that could be on the cards for us; ‘Tom and I spoke about having more kids because I wanted four.
‘When he was first diagnosed, I wanted him to go and freeze his sperm, but he wouldn’t. I really wanted him to because I really believed he was going to get better.’
The update came after she praised her boyfriend Will for ‘bringing her back to life’ following the tragic death of her late husband.
She said that her new partner loves ‘every part of her’ as she shared a gushing tribute to him on Instagram late last year.

Kelsey posted a blurred image of herself and Will sharing a kiss with their arms wrapped around each other in a passionate embrace.
The photo was accompanied by an emotional message, which said: ‘December… but this year with someone who loves every part of me and has brought me back to life after the storm I’ve been through.’
Kelsey also wrote in the caption: ‘December hits differently this year… After the storm, I’ve found someone who loves every piece of me and reminds me what it feels like to be alive again.
‘My first Christmas with love back in my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful.’
