Kelsey uploaded this statement on Instagram today
Today, Kelsey, 34, took to Instagram to share that episodes of hermotherhood podcast she recorded while pregnant will still air over the coming months.
She wrote: "Before I gave birth to Phoenix, I had recorded a lot of podcasts for my @mumstheword_pod before going off on maternity leave. I want to thank the lovely team for checking in and being patient to put some episodes out that were during my pregnancy.
"Over the next couple of months these episodes will air.
"They were part of my journey so I didn't want to not share them, and they all have incredible guests with really important stories and messages.
"Please take the time to listen to these episodes and remember to be kind when doing so."
The statement followed Kelsey bravely celebrating her six-year-old daughter Aurelia's birthday following her tragic loss.
Kelsey had Aurelia, as well as four-year-old Bodhi, with her late husband Tom Parker, who died of glioblastoma, a form of brain tumour, in 2022.
Paying tribute to her eldest child, Kelsey posted a video montage of Aurelia growing up – beginning with a picture of her in Tom's arms as a baby.
Other precious moments included birthday parties, playing in a buggy with Bodhi, giggling with her mum on the sofa, and dressing up like a princess on a bouncy castle.
Kelsey wrote alongside the video: "Aurelia means 'The Golden One' and that's what you are [heart emoji] you've been through so much my darling daughter, but you're the most precious little girl any mummy could wish for.
"I'm so happy we got to spend this weekend celebrating your birthday and turning another year older.
"I'm beyond proud of you and the amazing young woman you're growing up to be."
Former Towie star Nathan Massey was one of the first to send a comment wishing Aurelia a special day, writing: "Happy bday you little menace."
Soap stars Louisa Lytton and Brooke Vincent posted strings of heart emojis, while Kelsey's Mum's The Word podcast co-host Georgia Jones adding: "Happy birthday to the cutest little diva I know."
Kelsey shared the devastating news that her son, Phoenix, was still born last week, posting a poem to fans, "For Phoenix. Born sleeping, forever loved."
The phoenix bird symbolises immortality, resurrection and life after death.
She added: "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.
"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.
"I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space."
Phoenix was her first child with boyfriend Will, whom she started dating last September. At the time, Kelsey said she knew late husband Tom would 'send the right man for her.'
They announced they were expecting in January.

Liam Neeson's son breaks silence on dad's Pamela Anderson romance with telling comment
Liam Neeson's son, Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, has publicly reacted to his dad's new relationship with the Baywatch star. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson delighted fans when they revealed their blossoming romance at the Naked Gun premiere and it seems they have already gotten their families' approval of their new relationship. The pair hit it off after meeting during filming for the Naked Gun reboot, which they both play a leading role in. The Taken actor, 73, appears to be absolutely smitten with the Baywatch icon, 58, who he he called 'gorgeous' and also praised for her 'silliness'. Pamela and Liam have been seen getting cosy on the red carpet together, with both families posing with them for photos at the film's premieres. The actress has now shared her first snap with Liam to her Instagram page in a playful black and white photoshoot of the pair tossing popcorn at the camera. In another snap, Pamela is seen smiling while lying on the floor as Liam is bent over her with a camera in hand. The actress captioned the series of snaps: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there." The post has brought in over 1M likes and thousands of comments, with Liam's son Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, among them. The 28-year-old seemingly confirmed his approval for his father's new romance as he left a string of emojis in the comments. These included two hands raised in celebration, two fires, two white hearts, and a water pistol so it's safe to say Daniel is happy to see the pair together. Daniel's late mother, Natasha Richardson died in a tragic skiing accident when he was just 12-years-old and his older brother Micheál was 13. The Parent Trap star was just 45-years-old when she passed away in 2009 and had been married to Neeson for 15 years. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also shared her support as she touchingly left seven red heart emojis on Pamela's post. The Baywatch star's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, previously said that his mother and Liam were 'having a great time' on the press tour. He told Access Hollywood: "It's fun to see them be, you know, good castmates [and] have a good time. "I just think they're such great co-stars. I think [chemistry] is part of that, right? I think they have such a great onscreen chemistry that it really, you know, means it's well done." He also left a sweet comment on Pam's Instagram post as he wrote: "So proud of you and all of the hard work that went into this film! Everyone involved should be so proud!"

Love Island shock as Tommy admits cheating on ex Lucy with the SAME girl Ben kissed behind Andrada's back
Ben had already been spotted all over a TOWIE star double shock Love Island shock as Tommy admits cheating on ex Lucy with the SAME girl Ben kissed behind Andrada's back Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island was rocked by a double cheating shock as Tommy Bradley confessed to snogging the same girl as Ben Holborough behind Lucy Quinn's back. Tommy had been romancing Lucy after they left the villa but despite enjoying a few dates, it all crumbled when he enjoyed a smooch with another woman on a night out. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Tommy confessed to kissing another girl behind Lucy's back 6 It turned out it was the same woman who kissed Ben Speaking to host Maya Jama on Love Island, hunky Tommy confessed his budding romance was over after his actions. Admitting he acted "disrespectfully", he told Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. But in another shock, it was later revealed that Tommy had kissed the same girl that Ben had also cheated on partner Andrada with. The Sun told how Ben had been pictured all over The Only Way Is Essex star Dani Imbert at a glitzy showbiz event with the pair reportedly going on to enjoy a series of snogs together. It is likely to spark speculation that Dani is also the woman in question in the middle of Tommy and Lucy's romance. Ben confessed to host Maya to snogging a woman at the event despite him and Andrada being exclusive. Andrada was quick to clarify that she and Ben were no longer romantically involved as a result of the incident. As the confessions continued to roll in, host Maya was left visibly shocked as she blasted the pair for falling at their first celebrity event and going behind their partner's backs. Whilst Ben and Andrada's relationship still appeared frosty, Lucy and Tommy insisted they would be staying pals despite the illicit kiss. 6 Andrada appeared less than impressed with Ben's cheating kiss Credit: Eroteme 6 The revelations left the Islanders stunned 6 Ben's relationship took a hit after he was snapped with Dani Imbert Credit: The Sun

But he returned with this year's former Islanders to the villa to cast their thoughts on the final few couples. Fans backed the islander's votes and the brutal dumping of Meg Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams. And now four couples remain in the show, including bookies favourites Toni Laites and Cach Mercer, and Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley. But now, Blu has hit back at Angel after she rejected him during his return to the villa. Taking to Instagram, the Love Island star was answering a question from fans which asked: "Be honest, how did it feel when angel said you couldn't turn her head?" The fan was referring to a conversation between himself and Angel during the jury challenge. Blue replied: "I didn't expect anything less, she's in a couple, so she's not going to say yes. "Also a lot of it got clipped, I said some other stuff, it just didn't get shown. "I've nothing against Angel and Ty. I think they are both amazing people. Awkward moment Love Island's Harrison calls girlfriend Lauren by his EX'S name live on TikTok - hours after coming face to face with her "I love them both, I literally couldn't have a bad word to say about any of them. "Yeah, I kind of expected it but I'm also gonna back myself. "You're going into Love Island, you've gotta back yourself." Meanwhile, a Love Island couple are seemingly being kept apart following the explosive Jury challenge on the show. The couple have been seemingly inseparable ever since but in a new TikTok live, Harrison told how he wasn't staying with Lauren. With the Islanders still all in Majorca following the vote, Harrison told his fans that he wasn't in the same villa as his girlfriend.
