Kelsey Parker drops major hint that unborn baby’s name could have sweet connection to late husband Tom Parker
Kelsey Parker’s five-year-old daughter Aurelia has suggested a touching tribute to her late father, expressing her wish to name her future sibling “Parker” if it’s a boy.
The heartwarming revelation comes as Parker, widow of The Wanted star Tom Parker, announced she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Will Lindsay.
Tom Parker passed away from brain cancer three years ago at age 33, leaving behind Parker and their two children, Aurelia and four-year-old Bodhi.
In a remarkable display of intuition, Aurelia appeared to sense the pregnancy before being told the news.
“I feel like Aurelia’s been in this world before. And when I was eight weeks pregnant, she came up and started talking to a baby in my tummy. Will and I just looked at each other in total disbelief!” she told The Mirror.
Aurelia seems convinced her mother is expecting a girl, though the couple haven’t yet decided whether they will find out the baby’s sex.
The moment Parker shared the pregnancy news with her children was captured on film as a cherished memory.
“We filmed it to keep. They were so happy. I think they’ll be amazing big siblings,” she revealed.
Both children had been eager for a new addition to the family. “Both of them had been going on and on for ages about wanting a brother or sister.
“So when Will came along, they were like, ‘Can you have a baby now?’ They’re so funny,” she said.
However, Bodhi, who has always been the baby of the family, might need time to adjust to the change.
Parker, 33, met Will Lindsay, a 27-year-old tree surgeon from Kent, on a night out last year, with the couple going public about their relationship in September.
The pregnancy, which Kelsey describes as a “happy accident”, was confirmed on October 21st, the day after Will’s birthday.
“I was shocked but so happy. Will cried his eyes out!” Parker shared.
The baby is due in June, marking a new chapter for the family three years after Tom’s passing.
Will couldn’t be more delighted about the upcoming addition to their family.
