Kelsey Parker's baby name and beautiful meaning after devastating stillbirth
Kelsey Parker told fans earlier today the "earth-shattering" news of the loss of her son. Kelsey Parker shared the devastating news that she has lost her third child after an "earth-shattering" stillbirth. Kelsey issued the heartbreaking update earlier today after announcing she was expecting her first child with partner Will Lindsay in January. The podcast host posted an emotional poem dedicated to her son, and revealed she and Will had decided to name him Phoenix. According to the Oxford English dictionary, as writes the Mirror, the word Phoenix as a noun is described as: "A bird resembling an eagle but with sumptuous red and gold plumage, which was said to live for five or six hundred years in the deserts of Arabia, before burning itself to ashes on a funeral pyre ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings, only to rise from its ashes with renewed youth to live through another such cycle." Another definition states "A person or thing of unique excellence or matchless beauty; a paragon." Legends of the Phoenix are linked to stories of renewal, resurrection, and immortality. The mum of two told Instagram followers earlier today (Sunday, June 22) as she posted a poem dedicated to her son. Alongside the three-verse poem Kelsey shared, entitled 'Born Sleeping, Forever Loved, she said: 'Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved." Kelsey, who hosts the Mum's The Word! podcast with Danny Jones' wife Georgia, then shared a second message asking for space while she processes her grief with her loved ones. 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." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Kelsey is already mum to daughter Aureila, five, and son Bodhi, four, who she shared with her late husband Tom Parker - the beloved The Wanted singer who tragically passed away in 2022 at the age of 33 following a battle with cancer. In January she opened up in an interview with the Mirror and revealed her excitement about the pregnancy - and that it had been a "happy accident". She said she was preparing Aurelia and Bodhi for the new arrival, and spoke about telling Tom's family. Kelsey said Tom's mum Noreen had given her blessing as she added: "All I care about is that both our families and Tom's family are happy. Noreen is the most amazing lady. After Tom passed, she said to me, 'as long as you're happy Kels, whatever you do, we will always support you and be happy for you.' "We've all been through so much together. But I'm here and bringing another baby into the world."

I think it's because they've lost someone, too, as other children probably wouldn't be like that with anew father figure in their life. "Something that's been making me emotional is that the baby's going to call Will "dad" one day and I think that's going to be hard for them to navigate. "They don't call Will "dad" but I don't know how that's going to change when the baby's here. It might be strange for them. I have spoken to them about it and they kind of understand, but talking about it and it happening are very different things."
