Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey has shared an emotional post to her new partner ahead of the birth of their first child together.
Kelsey, 34, went public with her romance with Will Lindsay, 27, in September - two years after the death of her husband, The Wanted singer Tom, due to an inoperable brain tumour.
The Mum’s the Word podcast host - who shares daughter Aurelia, five, and son Bodhi, four, with Tom - announced in January that she is pregnant with tree surgeon Will’s baby.
On Sunday, Kelsey expressed her “gratitude” to Will in a sweet post on Instagram, a month before their child’s due date.
“Appreciation post. I know you’re not a fan of being on my social media, but I can’t help it - this moment deserves to be shared,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos of them together.
“We’re just a month away from meeting our baby, and I’m so full of gratitude. Thank you for everything you do—for me and for the kids. We love and adore you more than words can say.”
Kelsey added: “I can’t wait to start this next chapter with you. Honestly, I think you’re going to find the newborn stage a breeze after handling a 5 and 4-year-old!”
Tom tragically passed away in March 2022 at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme.
Kelsey said earlier this year that she feels like Tom “sent Will to her” and hit back at cruel trolls who criticised her for finding love again.
And speaking to The Standard in May, she vowed to continue Tom’s legacy.
“Me being with Will and having a child with Will would never take away the love that we have for Tom and the love that even Will has for Tom, because Will ultimately loves Tom’s kids,” she said.
“It’s about us as a family and Will’s a massive part of their life now.”
Discussing Aurelia and Bodhi’s thoughts on having a new sibling, she added: “They’re excited about the new addition to the family, we don’t know whether we’re having a boy or a girl.
“Bodhi wants to call the baby ‘Pawee’ - not even ‘Paulie’, he likes ‘Pawee’ - I don’t know, he’s made this name up. Aurelia likes ‘Violet’ from The Incredibles.
“She does actually like ‘Parker’ but she’s caused lots of controversy because we couldn’t call the baby ‘Parker Parker Parker’, you know it’s… She likes like the real traditional names which is funny.”
