Tom Parker's widow Kelsey pregnant three years after Wanted singer's death

Kelsey Parker has shared the joyful news that she is expecting her first child with her new partner Will Lindsay, three years after the heartbreaking loss of her husband to brain cancer at the age of 33. Kelsey, who was left to raise their two children Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, on her own, believes that husband Tom Parker has given her and Will his "blessing" as they embark on this new chapter of parenthood together.

The TV star, who owns a performing arts school, had previously expressed her desire to have more children with Tom, a dream that sadly never came to fruition. "Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans," Kelsey told OK! magazine.

"So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet. 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 I know I'm putting myself out there, telling people. I just want everyone to be as happy as I am."

Kelsey's heart has found room for new love in the home filled with memories of Tom. "Tom and I had a house before, which we had the kids and got married in. We moved into my current home in September 2021, and Tom only had eight months in this place, but I feel like he picked it for me. Will gradually moved in. There wasn't a specific date, but he moved in when it felt right for all of us. Right now, we don't have any plans to move elsewhere and we've made this our home."

Assured that everything happens for a reason, Kelsey's approach to life is grounded in acceptance and seeking happiness, reports the Mirror.

"For me, I feel like everything's meant to be," she reflects. "I'm just trying to find joy. I love my children – they've got me through the worst times. So I feel like I've been blessed with another. If I dwelled on everything that's happened, I wouldn't be here.

"Tom was my soulmate. I'm still angry he's gone. But I can't live in sadness. Tom wouldn't want that."
