At the end of last month, the star wanted to make sure her little girl knew how special she was, and posted a heartbreaking video montage of Aurelia growing up – starting in the arms of The Wanted star Tom as a tiny baby. Kelsey wrote alongside the video: "Aurelia means 'The Golden One' and that's what you are 🤍 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.

The phoenix bird symbolises immortality, resurrection and life after death. She added next to the poem: "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.'

Kelsey Parker shares heartbreaking update and urges her followers 'to be kind' after confirming the loss of her third child
Kelsey Parker gave a painful update on Monday and urged her followers to 'be kind' - after the loss of her third child. The podcaster, 34, suffered heartbreak in June after her unborn third child Phoenix - her first with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.' Kelsey is a parent to children Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four, from her marriage to The Wanted singer Tom Parker, who died in 2022 following a long battle with brain cancer. On Monday she shared with her fans that the episodes of her motherhood podcast she had recorded when she was pregnant would soon start airing. She penned on her Story: '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.' She is joined by McFly star Danny Jones' wife Georgia on the podcast as they discuss various parenting topics and interview other stars and experts. Her update comes after last week she paid tribute to her 'precious' daughter Aurelia on her sixth birthday, just days after revealing the tragic loss of her third child a week before its due date. Returning to Instagram for the first time since confirming their loss, the doting mother paid tribute to her eldest child by sharing a montage of the youngster's first six years, including footage of Aurelia being cradled by her late father. Captioning the emotional post, she wrote: 'Aurelia means 'The Golden One' and that's what you are... 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.' Days earlier, Parker confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date. Breaking the news in a poem, she wrote: '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'. 'We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear. Taking to her Instagram stories: she added: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted 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. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family'. Followers rushed to the comments to offer their condolences, with Kate Ferdinand commenting: 'Oh Kelsey, I'm so sorry. 'You've been through so much as a family already, this feels so unfair. Thinking of you all and sending so much love'. Former Love Island contestant Faye Winter added: 'I'm so sorry, sending all my love to you, Will and the family': and Giovanna Fletcher added: 'A beautiful name for a beautiful soul. I'm so sorry for your loss Kelsey'. Parker was left devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer, but found love again last year, meeting Kent tree surgeon Will on a night out and announced their romance in September. The podcaster later admitted to being targeted by online trolls for moving on with her new partner. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, in their first joint interview together in March, she explained: 'It's been three years, this is Tom's three year anniversary of his death and it's almost like people want me to feel guilty for moving on.' She confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date She added: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here anymore so what do people want me to do?', 'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything. 'They've been through so much, I feel like we are taking the steps forward to heal but I just want other women to feel like it's OK to move on, it's not taking anything away from the love I had for Tom.'

Kelsey Parker shares sweet message to daughter after tragic loss of third child
Kelsey Parker has returned to social media to celebrate the birthday of her daughter, just a week after confirming the devastating loss of her third child Kelsey Parker has paid tribute to her daughter Aurelia on her sixth birthday, just days after revealing the heartbreaking loss of her unborn baby boy. The mum-of-two, who lost her husband Tom Parker in 2022, returned to Instagram with a touching montage of Aurelia's first six years, including a moment of her as a baby being cradled by her late dad. 'Aurelia means 'The Golden One', and that's what you are,' she wrote. 'You've been through so much, my darling daughter, but you're the most precious little girl any mummy could wish for.' She added: "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." Kelsey's upload was flooded with sweet comments about Aurelia, with one user writing: "The most gorgeous little girl with a heart of gold." "Happy birthday, gorgeous girl," said a second. Danny Jones' wife, Georgia Jones, responded: "Happy birthday to the cutest little diva I know." "Happy birthday to the most special little girl. Sending all my love to you all," added another. The video came after Kelsey shared that her third child, a baby boy named Phoenix, was sadly stillborn just a week before his due date. In a moving poem, she wrote: 'The world grew quiet as you arrived, so loved, so longed for, yet not alive… Born with wings, took silent flight.' The poem was shared alongside a photo of a memory box, continued 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, still, you mean everything to me… You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear.' Kelsey later told followers she was stepping back from social media to process the grief privately, thanking them in advance for their love and support. Messages of love poured in, with Kate Ferdinand writing: 'Oh Kelsey, I'm so sorry. You've been through so much as a family already, this feels so unfair.' Since losing Tom, who was just 33 when he died from brain cancer, Kelsey has spoken openly about grief, healing, and the difficult path forward, including finding love again with new partner Will Lindsay. But the road hasn't been easy. In March, Kelsey appeared on Lorraine and admitted she's been trolled for moving on, despite three years having passed since Tom's death. 'I'm always going to have guilt,' she said. 'But what's so hard is that Tom's not here anymore; so what do people want me to do?' She added: 'Our house was full of so much sadness, but now it's full of happiness. The kids deserve that more than anything.'
