What to know

  • Kelsey Parker, widow of The Wanted's Tom Parker (died 2022), has given birth to baby River with partner Will Lindsay.
  • The birth comes approximately one year after the stillbirth of their son Phoenix in June 2025.
  • River is described as a 'rainbow baby'—the term for a child born after a family has experienced pregnancy loss or stillbirth.
  • Parker already has two children with her late husband Tom Parker and has been open about her grief journey through media appearances and her published book.

“Obviously, straight away we called the ambulance. They took nine minutes to come, and just when they arrived… the only way I can describe it, it was like I was in a film, and this wasn't real, and it wasn't happening to me.”
