Kelsey Parker announced her pregnancy
Kelsey Parker took to her Instagram on Sunday (2nd February) to share an emotional video montage of her sharing her new pregnancy announcement with her loved ones.
The 33-year-old is a recent widower to The Wanted's Tom Parker who died in 2023 from brain cancer after battling the aggressive tumour for 18 months.
She announced that she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay, with her already being a mother to five-year-old Aurelia and four-year-old Bodhi. The couple met on a night out in 2024, before going public with their relationship in September that year.
Kelsey captioned the video: "Thank you all for the love weāre overwhelmed with your kind words and support", and in the video itself Kelsey hands over a gift box to her loved ones where scans of the baby are hidden inside.
The video montage was filled with some of Kelsey's most treasured connections, including The Wanted's Jay McGuiness who was seen to be happily shocked as she informed him of her pregnancy via video call. Other stars include TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent and Love Island series 2 champ Cara Delahoyde.
