Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey Parker found a second chance at love with boyfriend Will Lindsay while coping with grief.
Kelsey and Tom were married from 2018 until his death in March 2022 at age 33. The Wanted member died following his battle with brain cancer. Kelsey and Tom welcomed two children, Aurelia and Bodhi, in July 2019 and October 2020, respectively.
Years after Tom’s passing, Kelsey shared that she was dating again and revealed her new romance with Lindsay in September 2024. Four months later, Kelsey announced that she was pregnant with her and Lindsay’s first child.
From our partners:
“Tom and I always said we wanted four — but life had other plans,” she told The Mirror in January 2025. “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.”
In June 2025, Kelsey announced the loss of their baby, sharing that he was “born sleeping.”
“Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.

September 2024
Two years after Tom’s death, Kelsey made her Lindsay’s romance Instagram Official. The post included a photo of the couple hugging while Lindsay’s head turned away from the camera and was captioned with a single red heart emoji. After making their relationship official, Kelsey took to social media to thank fans for their kind words.
“I was really hesitant to share this part of my life, especially since many of you know me from my life with Tom and the horrific grief I’ve been dealing with after losing him,” she penned. “Opening up about my journey over the past couple of years has been incredibly healing, allowing me to connect with others who’ve gone through similar experiences and build a beautiful, supportive community.”
October 2024
During an October 2024 episode of Kelsey’s “Mum’s the Word” podcast with Georgia Jones, Kelsey shared that she and Lindsay “met authentically” and they had already introduced each other to their families.
“He just makes me really happy. And I think for me, I’ve been trying to find happiness for a little while now. I’m always going to have that guilt, I guess that’s part of the grief process.” she explained. “Having the guilt that I’m here and I’ve met someone but it will never take away the love I had for Tom. And with Will he would never try and take that away from me either.”
November 2024
While appearing on the British talk show Lorraine, Kelsey gave some more details about how she and Lindsay first connected.
“We met out with friends, he was out with a group of boys and I was out with a group of girls and we just had a connection,” she gushed. “I just wanted to meet someone authentic. I couldn’t have done [a] dating app, I was so scared and it was the judgment from people about moving on and meeting someone, but everyone’s so supportive.”
January 2025
Kelsey and Lindsay announced that they were expecting their first child together.
“I’m over the moon. This is something I’ve wanted for a long time,” Lindsay told The Mirror. “I couldn’t be happier and I know Kelsey is going to be an amazing mum, as she already is.”
April 2025
Lindsay and Kelsey took a family trip to Gran Canaria, Spain.
“Nothing beats a family holiday to Gran Canaria!!” Kelsey wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of the family of the group out to dinner. “These trips will always have a special place in our hearts, we always have the best time 
Soaking up these moments before our family grows… 
.”
June 2025
Kelsey announced that she and Lindsay lost their baby, whom they named Phoenix. The post included a poem written in honor of the late newborn, who was born stillborn.
“For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved,” the poem began. “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 flight. 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.”
