Earlier this year, Kelsey Parker revealed that she’s having her third baby – three years on from husband Tom‘s death.
The mum-of-two announced the “amazing but also bittersweet” news in January.
And now, she’s given the biggest hint yet over the baby’s sex and name!
Kelsey Parker expecting third baby
In a interview and photoshoot for OK! magazine, Kelsey announced that she’s expecting a baby with her new boyfriend, Will.
Kelsey and The Wanted star Tom had two children together – Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four. Sadly, Tom died in 2022 aged 33 after a long battle with brain cancer.
Three years on, Kelsey revealed that she thought Tom has given his blessing for her to continue growing her family.
Speaking to OK!, she said: “Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans. 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 can’t live in sadness’
Kelsey then continued, explaining that she and Will will live together in the home she got with Tom before his death.
“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,” she then said.
Kelsey also revealed that Tom’s mum, Noreen, gave her blessing “instantly”.
“She can’t wait to have another grandchild. 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. But I’m here and bringing another baby into the world,” she said.
Kelsey Parker on baby’s sex
Elsewhere in the interview, Kelsey revealed that the couple had been sent the baby’s gender by email, but hadn’t looked. However, speaking two months later on her podcast, it appears they may have done as Kelsey has hinted that she’s having another little girl.
Speaking on her Mum’s The Word podcast, she revealed daughter Aurelia went to school for World Book Day and picked up a book that said: “This is for a little girl who is going to be a big sister to a little sister very soon.”
Kelsey added: “Anyone who listens to this podcast knows I think she’s been here before. You’re a little witch aren’t you?” she said, referring to her daughter.
She added: “Am I having a girl? Because Aurelia has picked this book that I’m having a girl. You could be right, or are you just putting it out to the universe that you want a sister so badly?”
Kelsey then spoke about calling a little girl “baby Annabelle”, before saying it could well be a boy too.
She’s due to give birth at the end of June.
