Kelsey Parker shares update after death of baby Phoenix
After the baby’s death, Kelsey announced her son was called Phoenix, a name that is associated with rebirth and transformation.
Last night (July 7), Kelsey took to Instagram to share a heartbreaking update with her followers.
She explained that before she went off on maternity leave, she had already filmed a lot of episodes for her and Georgia Jones’ podcast Mum’s The Word. And they will begin to air.
Kelsey wrote: “Before I gave birth to Phoenix, I had recorded a lot of podcasts for my Mum’s the Word podcast before going off on maternity leave. I want to thank the lovely team for checking in and being patient to put some episodes out that were during my pregnancy.
“Over the next couple of months, these episodes will air.”
Kelsey Parker revealed she didn’t want to get rid of the episodes entirely, because they are still a part of her and baby Phoenix’s journey. And because each episode tells important stories that need shared.
She continued: “They were part of my journey, so I didn’t want to not share them. And they all have incredible guests with really important stories and messages.”
The 34-year-old star then concluded the message, reminding fans to be “kind”.
Kelsey wrote: “Please take the time to listen to these episodes. And remember to be kind when doing so.”
Georgia Jones, Kelsey’s co-host, shared the post on her own Stories and wrote: “A message from Kels.”
