Tom Parker and his wife Kelsey welcomed their first child, daughter Aurelia, less than a year after getting married in a beautiful Surrey ceremony covered exclusively by OK! in July 2018. And we can now reveal that 11-month-old Aurelia won’t have to wait long for a sibling, as Tom and Kelsey are expecting baby number two this November.
“I want a big family so I would rather just get it over and done with,” Kelsey explains.
The couple met in a nightclub back in 2009 just before Tom found fame with boy band The Wanted. Despite the group’s hectic tour schedule and legion of female fans, Tom and Kelsey have remained devoted to each other. Even battling through lockdown together with a baby and a pregnancy has not dampened their spirits.
Here, the pair, who posed at their home in Kent, open up about discovering their family was set to expand...
Congratulations! How are you feeling?
Tom: I don’t know if I’m prepared for it! Aurelia has been a whirlwind and all of a sudden we’ve got another baby on the way!
How did you find out?
Tom: Kelsey said to me, “Oh, by the way, I think we might be having another baby.”
Kelsey: No, I didn’t do that! I did a pregnancy test at my mum’s house as I just felt like I could be. I rang Tom and told him to come over – he had no clue whatsoever. When he arrived, I said, “I’ve got you a present,” and handed him the test. He was like, “What the hell? I just had a wave of anxiety.”
Were you shocked to be pregnant again?
