Kelsey Parker has announced the birth of her baby girl with partner Will Lindsay, describing the newborn as her ‘little bit of hope.’

The TV star, who is already a mother to two children from her marriage to late husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, revealed the happy news in an Instagram post on Sunday.

Kelsey shared a photo of her newborn’s tiny hand and a smidgen of cheek, alongside a pink board that revealed the little one’s name, River.

‘Welcome to the world, River. 🌹🤍Our little bit of hope,’ she captioned the post without explicitly confirming the gender, although it is believed to be a girl.

She shares River with tree surgeon boyfriend Will, and has daughter Aurelia, six, and son Bodhi, four, from her marriage with late popstar Tom.

Kelsey’s celebrity pals rushed to congratulate the joyful mum, with Rochelle Humes commenting: ‘Congratulations angel.’

Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips added: ‘Congratulations Kelsey, been thinking of you all! So glad she’s here,’ alluding to the gender.

In May, Kelsey announced she was pregnant after experiencing a stillbirth with her baby boy, Phoenix, in June 2025.

She told her followers at the time: ‘A year ago next month, we lost our beautiful baby boy, Phoenix 🤍.

‘And somehow, through all the heartbreak, it feels like Tom and Phoenix have sent us another little gift from heaven our little rainbow baby ✨’

Earlier this year, Kelsey opened up about the trauma of Phoenix’s stillbirth and the moment she realised he was no longer here. She carried her baby boy until 39 weeks and had to give birth at home in an emergency.

‘It has taken me a year to process what actually happened to us,’ Kelsey previously said on Good Morning Britain.

‘Straight away we called the ambulance; they took nine minutes to come, and when they arrived – the only way I can describe it – was like I was in a film and it wasn’t real and it wasn’t happening to me,’ she added.

‘Because they came in and they took him from me. I only ever got to hold Phoenix for nine minutes.

‘That’s the only time I got to hold him. They then called the police, the police arrived, and they said it was like a crime scene.’

Kelsey was left devastasted after the death of husband Tom at the age of 33 in 2022. He had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, an inoperable and aggressive brain tumour with a very poor survival prognosis, and his death came just two years after they married in 2018.

To mark the fourth anniversary since Tom’s death in March, Kelsey shared an emotional tribute with a compilation of home videos from happier times.

She wrote: ‘Dear Tom, my Papi … It’s been 4 years… 4 whole years without you. Words can’t even explain how much I miss you.

‘I wish we could have just one more day… To laugh, to sing, to gossip, to be together. To party together. To put the world to rights like we used to at ridiculous o’clock. To talk before bed… to be parents together,’ Kelsey wrote.

‘I wish you had more time with your babies… Time that was taken far too soon. You only got two and a half years of being a Dad, and life just feels so unfair.’

In September 2024, Kelsey went public with her romance with Will, sharing a sweet photo of her laughing while he embraced her.
