Tom Parker’s widow, Kelsey Parker, is pregnant and expecting a baby with boyfriend Will Lindsay.
“Tom and I always said we wanted four, but life had other plans,” Kelsey, 34, told the U.K.’s The Mirror in an interview published on Sunday, January 26. “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.”
Kelsey was married to Tom, best known as one of the members of boy band The Wanted, until his death in 2022. Tom, who was 33 at the time, had suffered from an inoperable brain tumor. He is survived by Kelsey and their two children: Aurelia, 5, and Bodhi, 4.
After grieving Tom’s death, Kelsey eventually found love again with tree surgeon Lindsay, 27, last year. They now live together in what was her family home with the late singer.

Tom Parker’s wife, Kelsey Parker, paid tribute to him on the second anniversary of his death. “Can’t believe it’s been two years. Feels like only yesterday that you left us, but I feel like I’ve been on my own for a long time now and so much has changed since you were here,” Kelsey, 33, […]
“Tom and I had a house before, which we had the kids and got married in. We moved into my current home in September 2021, and Tom only had eight months in this place, but I feel like he picked it for me,” she told the British outlet. “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.”
Kelsey further referred to her current pregnancy as a “happy accident” and noted that she and Lindsay have not yet found out the baby’s sex.
“We’re undecided on whether we’re going to look at [the sex reveal document] yet. We’re just going to see how the journey goes,” she said, adding she believes that Tom sent his approval from the great beyond. “I’m very spiritual and so is Will. Especially after he lost his dad, he believes in signs from loved ones, like me — and I’ve had so many from Tom. Will’s seen them too. He doesn’t think I’m crazy.”
According to Kelsey, she and Lindsay often discuss Tom at home. Daughter Aurelia even floated the name “Parker” as a tribute to her father.

“For me, I feel like everything’s meant to be. I’m just trying to find joy,” Kelsey said. “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.”
Kelsey also informed Tom’s mother, Noreen, about her pregnancy news.
“Tom’s mum gave me her blessing instantly,” Kelsey added. “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.”
