“A year ago next month, we lost our beautiful baby boy, Phoenix,” Kelsey wrote.
“And somehow, through all the heartbreak, it feels like Tom and Phoenix have sent us another little gift from heaven, our little rainbow baby.”
Fans were quick to send messages of support.
“Oh this is so amazing – all the love in the world. Congratulations,” wrote TV presenter Susannah Reid.
“Congratulations angel. No one deserves it more,” said former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison.
A third fan spoke for many when they said: “I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy for someone I’ve never met.”
Kelsey and Lindsay were expecting their first child together in June 2025, but their son Phoenix was “born sleeping” at 39 weeks.
“Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved,” Kelsey shared at the time, alongside a poem titled ‘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 flight,” read the poem.

Kelsey is also mother to six-year-old Aurelia and five-year-old Bodhi, with her late husband, Tom, who died of brain cancer aged 33.
Last year, Kelsey was forced to defend her new relationship and in an interview on the ITV show Lorraine said that she felt like “people want me to feel guilty for moving on”.
“I’m always going to have guilt but what’s so hard is that Tom’s not here any more so what do people want me to do?” she explained.
