Kelsey Parker shares sweet photo with daughter Aurelia during 'much-needed' family holiday in Turkey after tragically losing her third child
Tom Parker 's widow sadly suffered heartbreak in June after her unborn baby - Kelsey's first with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.'
The last month has been incredibly tough for the family-of-four after the devastating news, with Kelsey sharing that they have taken some needed time out at the 5-star hotel Liberty Signa.
She has now shared a sweet photo posing with her six-year-old daughter Aurelia as they enjoyed the sunshine.
Kelsey glowed in a white and black polka dot jumpsuit which she teamed with a green handbag and flipflops.
She flashed her gorgeous smile as her little girl hugged her as they posed for the photo by the water.
On Sunday, Kelsey shared a family photo, as she, Will and her two children with Tom - Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four - looked out to sea in a hot location.
Kelsey shouted out budget-friendly airline Jet2 for making the process so easy.
The doting mum simply wrote: 'Exactly what we needed. Thank you @jet2 for making it so easy. X'
In the comments section, she was showered with love by other stars, including Brooke Vincent and Gogglebox's Lisa Baggs.
Last month, Kelsey took to Instagram to share her heartbreaking news.
She 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'.
Kelsey 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 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.'
