Kelsey Parker is facing another wave of heartbreak as she tries to help her two young children cope with the tragic loss of her stillborn son, Phoenix.
The devastating experience has reopened the deep pain of losing her late husband, Tom Parker, who passed away in 2022 from a brain tumor.
In June this year, Kelsey endured the stillbirth of Phoenix, her first child with partner Will Lindsay, whom she began dating two years after Tom’s death. She already shares two children, Aurelia, 6, and Bodhi, almost 5, with her late husband.
A source revealed that the grief has been overwhelming for Kelsey, particularly as a mother trying to guide her children through such complex emotions. She reportedly finds some comfort in believing Tom is watching over Phoenix. However, balancing personal pain with being in the public eye has made the healing process much harder.
“Kelsey has not only lost Phoenix but also feels the grief of losing Tom all over again. Navigating this with her children has been incredibly difficult,” the source told OK! Magazine.
The media personality has also opened up about the emotional challenge of explaining Phoenix’s loss to her daughter. Kelsey shared that Aurelia had been excited to welcome a baby brother, making the conversation especially painful. Despite the tragedy, Kelsey continues to show strength as she honors both Tom’s memory and baby Phoenix.
