Tom Parker's mum's reaction to Kelsey Parker's baby news
The Wanted star Tom Parker was with his wife Kelsey Parker for 13 years and shared two children, Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, before he tragically passed away at age 33 from brain cancer.
Now, the 34-year-old has announced she is expecting her third child with her new partner, Will Lindsay, a feeling she has described as ‘bittersweet’ as she and Tom dreamt of having four kids together.

Opening up to OK! Magazine about her new chapter, Kelsey shared how Tom’s mum Noreen responded to the news, saying: ‘She is just amazing. She gave me 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.’
She further expressed her lifelong bond with her mother-in-law, explaining: ‘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.’
In the exclusive interview, Kelsey and her new beau Will welcomed the cameras into their home to photograph the beautiful family, as well as answer any questions about their baby announcement.
The 27-year-old dad-to-be explained that he has no issue with Kelsey talking about Tom and encourages it, saying: ‘Tom was a massive part of Kelsey’s life they were together for over 13 years, and had two beautiful children. So it’s normal to talk about him a lot. I think it would be weird if we didn’t.’
Kelsey even joked about a time when Will walked past a picture of Tom in the home and commented on his good looks.
Although the baby news has been uplifting for the most part for Kelsey, the mum-of-two admitted that she did feel ‘every emotion under the sun’ when she first found out, including thinking how different her life could have been had Tom not passed away.
We are wishing you all the best Kelsey and Will, congratulations on the baby news!
