KELSEY Parker is being supported by a slew of celebrity pals after opening up the tragic death of her baby.
The devastated mum of two’s support network has come out in full force to share her sorrow after she bravely announced her third baby was “born sleeping” just a week before its due date.
Kelsey, 34, took to Instagram to reveal the name of her third child, Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, alongside a heart-wrenching poem on her loss.
She shared the news by posting the piece to fans, which read: “For Phoenix. Born sleeping, forever loved.”
The phoenix bird symbolises immortality, resurrection and life after death.
Kelsey – who announced in January she was expecting her first baby with boyfriend Will Lindsay – wrote on social media: “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.”
After uploading the raw message, her followers were on hand to offer support and messages of condolence.
Kate Ferdinand then posted: “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.”
She was referring to the fact that Kelsey lost her childhood sweetheart husband Tom Parker in 2022 aged 33 following a brain tumour diagnosis.
Tom was aged just 33 when he died of glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, just 18 months after diagnosis.
She shares two children, five-year-old Aurelia and Bodhi, four, with The Wanted star.
The family have remained dedicated to raising funds for brain tumour research in Tom‘s honour with an annual charity football match in his memory.
Married At First Sight expert and podcast host Paul Carrick-Brunson then shared his close bond with Kelsey, and wrote: “Kelsey, I’m heartbroken for you.
“Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know your strength, your grace, and the immense love you carry.
“This loss is beyond words. I’m holding you and your family in my heart. May you feel surrounded by love as you begin to heal.”
Giovanna Fletcher then put: “A beautiful name for a beautiful soul. I’m so sorry for your loss Kelsey.”
The trio were just a handful of celebs who sent their best wishes, with fellow mum and TOWIE alum Amy Childs who added: “I’m so sorry for your loss Kelsey.”
Fans were also quick to add their messages of sadness.
Kelsey went public with her new relationship in September last year, saying she knew her late husband Tom would “send the right man for her.”
She excitedly revealed her pregnancy in January before being pictured ring shopping with her tree surgeon boyfriend, 27, earlier this month.
Yet just days ago, her “haunting” words about pregnancy came to light.
Kelsey said in March that she was trying to enjoy every moment of her pregnancy after losing her husband to a brain tumour in 2022 taught her “how precious life is”.
Speaking to OK! Magazine earlier this year, then-pregnant Kelsey said: “I’m due at the end of June. I’m trying to enjoy this pregnancy more, because I think when you’ve been through something like I’ve been through, you realise how precious life is.
“I know that sounds clichéd, but it’s true.”
A MUM-of-12 has shared that she’s been pregnant for 15 years in a row and has never used contraception.
Karissa Collins, 41, insists she’s never kissed anyone other than her husband, Manrdrae Cardell Collins, whom she married in 2007.
However, trolls often assume there are four different fathers involved.
Taking to her TikTok account, ‘thecollinskids,’ the US-based mum posted a video standing alongside her husband as they introduced their children to her 668.5k followers.
In the video, Karissa revealed how old she and her husband were when they started their journey into parenthood.
She was 25, and Manrdrae was 26 when they welcomed their first daughter. The following year, at 27, they had their first son.
The couple went on to have a child every year, right up until Karissa turned 40, meaning she has been pregnant for an astonishing 3,003 days.
Reflecting on this, Karissa said it has been “worth every minute for these amazing humans.”
Despite their happiness, Karissa has faced criticism from online trolls.
Responding to the negativity, she explained that all her children have the same father after people think that there’s four dads involved, saying how there is “just one dad.”
“They all came out of my body and were created with my first and only boyfriend.”
Karissa also shared some of her lifestyle choices, which extend beyond her approach to dating.
She revealed she has never smoked, consumed alcohol or coffee, or sworn.
Additionally, she has never had a C-section.
Her decision not to use contraception aligns with her religious beliefs.
She explained: “I don’t do condoms or spousal denial, tracking days, or individual pleasure.
“Instead, we let God give freely, and we receive it with joy.”
Addressing the criticism about her large family, Karissa hit back at trolls, saying: “Children are the blessing that comes out of it. God’s plan for marriage and reproducing is so perfect.
“Not sure how that’s disgusting or confusing. Let’s normalise couples raising children in loving families.”
She’s been pregnant her whole adult life!
TikTok comment
Karissa first became a mum at 25 and has since been pregnant at the ages of 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 39, and 40.
In addition to raising her large family, the Christian mum homeschools her children, while her husband Manrdrae works in the auto finance industry.
Her video, shared in 2023, has amassed a staggering 39 million views and over 28,000 comments.
Many viewers shared their thoughts, with one writing: “She’s been pregnant her whole adult life!”
Another commented: “99 months of pregnancy,” while a third joked: “You guys need a different hobby.”
