Kelsey Parker never expected to be a young widow, raising the two little ones, daughter Aurelia and son Bodhi, that she shared with her late husband Tom Parker on her own. But thankfully, life had a nice surprise waiting ahead of her.

The unexpected turn in her story occurred when Will Lindsay walked into her and her kids’ lives and showed huge amounts of patience, love, and gentle understanding to their heartbreaking situation. And now, they’re expecting their own baby together.

‘It’s ok to move on’ Kelsey Parker speaks out on her husband’s third anniversary as she gets set to welcome new baby

Sharing a rare glimpse into their relationship, Kelsey took to social media writing: ‘Appreciation post. I know you’re not a fan of being on my social media, but I can’t help it- this moment deserves to be shared.’

‘We’re just a month away from meeting our baby, and I’m so full of gratitude. Thank you for everything you do- for me and for the kids. We love and adore you more than words can say.’

With photos of Will laughing with the children, holding their hands, and fitting so naturally into the role of a father figure, she quipped: ‘I can’t wait to start this next chapter with you. Honestly, I think you’re going to find the newborn stage a breeze after handling a 5 and 4-year-old!’

Kelsey’s post wasn’t just a message of appreciation, it was also a glimpse into a love story that bloomed from resilience, and the courage to open your heart again.

And as their family prepares to grow by one more tiny heartbeat, Kelsey and Will aren’t just stepping into a new chapter- they’re writing a whole new book, and we can’t wait to watch it unfold!

We have no doubt Aurelia and Bodhi will make the best older siblings.
