A week after Kelsey Parker spoke to Christine Lampard about the loss of her baby boy Phoenix on Lorraine, she’s remembered her late son with a poignant tattoo.
Little Phoenix was stillborn 39 weeks into Kelsey’s pregnancy earlier this summer. Kelsey Parker was due to welcome her baby with boyfriend Will Lindsay.
Kelsey previously lost her husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, to cancer in 2022. The couple shared two children – Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four. Back in 2023, she shared a reel of a tattoo she’d had done in memory of Tom.
Now, following the death of Phoenix, it has even more significance…

Tattoo tribute for baby Phoenix
Kelsey reposted a clip of herself getting the tattoo on her Instagram Stories earlier today (August 14). In the video, taken in the aftermath of Tom’s death, she is seen getting the inking done on her ribcage.
It features a phoenix rising up towards the sky, with the word ‘Hope’ written on its belly. Two butterflies also feature.
Kelsey captioned the clip: “My little Phoenix with me every day.”
In the original caption, Kelsey explained why she was getting it done. Kelsey said: “I used to send Tom a quote about a Phoenix to encourage him to rise up. This past year has shown me whatever happens I can rise up. So I wanted to get this tattoo for all of us.
“A phoenix. Hope because that’s all we have and had. Two butterflies for Rae and Bo and now that Tom is flying with them. And a star because he always is our star.”
One follower commenting today told Kelsey: “So beautiful how this tattoo links Tom and little Phoenix. He was always meant to be.”
