Kelsey Parker has revealed she still hopes to have another baby with her boyfriend Will Lindsay, three months after the stillbirth of their son Phoenix. The 35-year-old widow shared her feelings on the Mum's The Word podcast with pal Georgia Jones.
Kelsey said: 'I would love to have another baby. That's not made me not want another baby. I think more it's probably made me want a baby even more, because I was so prepared to have a baby.' She added that Will, who has no children of his own, adores her two kids from her marriage to Tom Parker and wants children.
Kelsey also expressed regret about hiding her pregnancy due to fear of judgment. 'I feel like I hid a lot because I was so worried about what people actually thought about me... I didn't tell the world what I wanted to tell the world because I was holding back.' She added: 'And I feel upset with myself that I let other people make me feel that way.'
Kelsey shares daughter Aurelia, six, and son Bodhi, five, with late husband Tom Parker, who died in 2022 from brain cancer. Phoenix was stillborn at 39 weeks in June. A source said Kelsey 'truly believes Tom is up there looking after baby Phoenix.'
Kelsey met Will two years after Tom's death. She described the pregnancy as a 'blessing' but their joy turned to sorrow when Phoenix 'was born sleeping'. She told her children: 'Phoenix has gone with your daddy.'
