Kelsey Parker has announced the loss of her third child, a baby boy she was expecting with partner Will Lindsay.
The podcast host and widow of The Wanted's Tom Parker shared in an Instagram post on Sunday that her first child with Lindsay was "born sleeping".
"Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved," Kelsey wrote, alongside a touching 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," the poem read.
Kelsey later posted a note on her Instagram Stories, signed by herself, Lindsay and her family.
"Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt well wishes, I want to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share," she wrote.
"But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news."
The loss of Phoenix comes more than three years after Tom died at age 33 in March 2022, following a diagnosis of stage four glioblastoma.
The Mum's the Word podcast host and her late husband welcomed two children together, who are now aged four and five.
