Tom Parker<\/strong><\/a>‘s widow, Kelsey Parker<\/strong>, is expanding her family.<\/p>\n

“A year ago next month, we lost our beautiful baby boy, Phoenix \ud83e\udd0d,” Kelsey wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, May 31. “And somehow, through all the heartbreak, it feels like Tom and Phoenix have sent us another little gift from heaven our little rainbow baby \u2728.”<\/p>\n

In the clip shared via Instagram, Kelsey and her family piled their hands on top of each other before unveiling a black-and-white ultrasound image of the pregnancy. A feather was then placed over the pic.<\/p>\n

Kelsey’s pregnancy announcement comes nearly one year after she shared the loss of her son<\/a> with boyfriend Will Lindsay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved,” Kelsey wrote via an Instagram post at the time.<\/p>\n

“For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved,” the poem began. “The world grew quiet as you arrived \/ So loved, so longed for, yet not alive \/ Our precious boy, our angel light \/ Born with wings, took silent flight. We named you Phoenix, brave and bright \/ A soul of love, of warmth and light \/ Though we never heard you cry \/ You’ll live in hearts that won’t ask why. No breath you drew, no eyes to see \/ Still, you mean everything to me \/ You’ll journey with us, softly near \/ In every sigh, in every tear.”<\/p>\n

Kelsey also shared a message via her Instagram Story, where she asked for privacy for her and her family.<\/p>\n

“Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heart-felt well wishes, I want to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share,” she wrote. “But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news.”<\/p>\n

Kelsey became a mom when she and Tom welcomed their children<\/a>, Aurelia and Bohi. Tom died in 2022<\/a> at the age of 33 after a stage four glioblastoma diagnosis.<\/p>\n

“Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans,” she told The Mirror<\/em> in 2025, while confirming her pregnancy. “So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet. The joys of finding out I’m pregnant and moving forward with my life, while thinking, \u2018My life could have been so different. I’ve felt every emotion under the sun.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “I’m still getting my head around it, but I’m so excited. And I know I’m putting myself out there, telling people. I just want everyone to be as happy as I am.”<\/p>\n
