Kelsey Parker was previously married to Tom Parker, the lead singer of the popular British-Irish boy band The Wanted, until he died in 2022 from brain cancer.

More about Will Lindsay, as Kelsey Parker announces the loss of their first child

Will Lindsay, who is twenty-seven years old, keeps a low profile away from the spotlight. According to Daily Mail, Will Lindsay was born and raised in Kent along with his siblings. According to the outlet, Lindsay suffered an early loss in his life when his father passed away due to unspecified reasons at the age of fifty. His mother later remarried a man named Lloyd James after her husband's passing back in 2017.

In an interview with Ok! Magazine, Kelsey Parker discussed how she believes that her late husband, Tom Parker, with whom she shared two children, will always look out for her and did in fact send the right person on her way. She said:

"When it's meant to be, it’ll be, and that person will be sent by Tom. I reckon he's picking them for me."

On Sunday, Will Lindsay and Kelsey Parker announced the tragic news that their son, whom they had named Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, had passed away. Parker even wrote a short poem in his memory, saying:

"Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved 🐦‍🔥🤍🕊️For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved. The world grew quiet as you arrived / So loved, so longed for, yet not alive / Our precious boy, our angel light / Born with wings, took silent fligh. We named you Phoenix, brave and bright / A soul of love, of warmth and light / Though we never heard you cry / You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. No breath you drew, no eyes to see / Still, you mean everything to me / You'll journey with us, softly near / In every sigh, in every tear."

Last year, during her appearance on the morning show Lorraine, the podcaster talked about how difficult it was for her children following their father's untimely death, but praised Will Lindsay for bringing great joy to their lives. She said:

"It's been a life of sadness for him, so it's a light at the end of our tunnel. I think it's good for them to see me happy, not me being sad in bed, not being able to get up, devastated at the loss of their dad, I am now happy. Will has brought such an amazing energy into our lives as well, and he is great with them."

Back in February, during an episode of her podcast, "Mum's the Word," she talked about how she did not plan the pregnancy with Will Lindsay, but things just fell into place, adding that he gradually moved in with her at some point in their relationship. She said:

"Will gradually moved in. There wasn’t a specific date, but he moved in when it felt right for all of us. Right now, we don’t have any plans to move elsewhere and we’ve made this our home. For me, I feel like everything’s meant to be."

She further added:

"We weren’t really trying. I just think, what’s meant to be is meant to be. It happened and we’re really happy. I lost my head that day. Will cried, he was so happy."

Earlier this year, Will Lindsay and Kelsey Parker had made a joint appearance on the Lorraine talk show to discuss their future plans and relationship as they talked about life ahead of their child's birth.
