Kelsey Parker is reportedly ‘struggling’ to help her two children navigate through the grief of her stillborn baby Phoenix, as it ‘brings back’ the loss of her late husband Tom.

The media personality, 35, first faced tragedy in 2022 when Tom died from a brain tumour and again in June of this year when Phoenix was tragically stillborn. 

She was expecting her third child with partner Will Lindsay, who she found love with two years after Tom’s death.

The entrepreneur shares Aurelia, 6, and Bodhi, who is five this month, with Tom. 

And now, three months since the devastating loss of her baby boy, a source claimed Kelsey is firmly convinced her late husband is ‘up there, looking after baby Phoenix’.

‘Kelsey has not only lost Phoenix but is having to deal with it in the public eye. The grief of losing the baby has brought back the grief of losing Tom and it’s such a tricky thing to navigate with the kids,’ a telly source told OK!

‘But she truly believes he is up there looking after her and baby Phoenix – but it’s such a cruel blow to deal with so much grief in one lifetime.. She’s dealing with such a lot.’

Daily Mail has contacted Kelsey’s representatives for a comment. 

The podcaster candidly admittd she struggled to find the ‘right explanation’ for her eldest daughter Aurelia, who had been excited at the prospect of a younger brother.

‘Time has been really tough. Because Aurelia is six, I wasn’t giving her the right answer to what she wanted. I said, ‘Phoenix has died and Phoenix is with daddy now,’ the former dancer said.

Kelsey recenty returned to the Mum’s The Word podcast she hosts with McFly star Danny Jones’s wife Georgia for the first time since Phoenix’s death. 

During the chat, Kelsey opened up about how her children have coped with the loss of their baby brother. 

Of Aurelia’s grieving process, Kelsey said: ‘She was relentless. I’d say to anyone you don’t need therapy when you’ve got Aurelia, because she is a therapist. She actually makes you talk about it, right?’

‘I knew that they needed to go through it and process it,’ Kelsey added.

‘If we all talk about it, then we’re going to get through this as a family. But now I have to say to Aurelia stop, because she goes on and on about death.’ 

The day before, Kelsey revealed the heartbreaking words Aurelia uttered about her father Tom after her baby brother’s stillbirth. 

Appearing on Tuesday’s episode of Loose Women, Kelsey spoke about how she explained Phoenix’s passing to Aurelia and Bodhi.

She said: ‘Time has been really tough. Because Aurelia’s six, I wasn’t giving her the right answer to what she wanted. I said, “Phoenix has died and Phoenix is with daddy now”.’
