Tom Parker’s Widow Kelsey Parker Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby With Will Lindsay
Kelsey Parker is finding joy after loss. More than two years after The Wanted singer Tom Parker’s death, his widow—mom to their kids to Aurelia, 5, and Bodhi, 4—shared announced she’s pregnant with her and boyfriend Will Lindsay’s first baby together.
“Tom and I always said we wanted four, but life had other plans,” Kelsey told The Mirror of her late husband, who died of brain cancer in 2022, in an interview published Jan. 26. “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.”
The 34-year-old called her baby news a “happy accident” and noted that she and Will—her relationship with whom she shared with the public in September—are still unsure if or when they’ll find out their baby’s sex. “We’re undecided on whether we’re going to look at [the sex reveal document] yet,” she explained. “We’re just going to see how the journey goes.”
Kelsey added that Aurelia suggested that they name her future sibling “Parker” in honor of her late father but, for now, she’s just basking in the happiness of both her pregnancy and her memories of Tom. “For me, I feel like everything’s meant to be. I’m just trying to find joy,” she said. “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.”
In fact, Kelsey believes that the late singer has shown himself in a variety of ways since passing nearly three years ago, including by blessing her continuing to grow her family. “I’m very spiritual and so is Will,” she mused. “Especially after he lost his dad, he believes in signs from loved ones, like me—and I’ve had so many from Tom. Will’s seen them too. He doesn’t think I’m crazy.”
And it’s not just Tom who she’s received well wishes from: His mother Noreen Parker also gave Kelsey her blessing “instantly.” “She can’t wait to have another grandchild,” she gushed. “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.”
