Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey ‘forgot she was pregnant’ after he was diagnosed with terminal brain tumour

Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey admits she ‘forgot she was pregnant’ after his terminal brain tumour diagnosis… before saying their baby son Bodhi is ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’

  • Tom’s brain tumour is a grade four glioblastoma, and he is already undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy in a bid to prolong his life 
  • Life expectancy for this illness ranges from three months to 18 months after diagnosis  
  • Tom and Kelsey got engaged in 2016 and tied the knot two years later in July 2018, before welcoming daughter Aurelia Rose in July 2019

Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey has admitted she ‘forgot she was pregnant’ when she learned the singer had been diagnosed with a terminal and inoperable brain tumour.

The mother-of-two told the Loose Women panel that she learned about Tom’s diagnosis when she was 35 weeks pregnant with her son Bodhi, and her sole focus at the time was figuring out how to move forward with the devastating prognosis. 

Last month Tom revealed he’d been diagnosed with a terminal and inoperable brain tumour, and despite the sad news he and Kelsey have vowed to fight and raise awareness for the disease.

Kelsey told the panel: ‘I just feel so bad for Bodhi because literally I forgot I was pregnant, I just had this bump and carried on each day thinking ”how are we gonna get Tom through this how are we gonna get to the next stage?’

Tom recently said he and Kelsey had planned to share the birth of their second child with OK! Magazine, but missed the opportunity due to Max George’s blunder, when he let slip the news during an interview on Lorraine.

In a new interview, the All Time Low hitmaker and the actress said: ‘We were going, ”You k**bhead!” I texted him saying, ”You’ve got a big mouth!”’

The parents-of-two, who also share daughter Aurelia, 15 months, expressed their delight at growing their family as they added to the publication: ‘He is the perfect baby – especially compared to having Aurelia first. I barely even know I’ve got him.  

‘He’s so chilled. He’s so different to Aurelia – she was always very active. Bodhi means enlightenment. So it just goes perfectly with our situation right now. He’s the light at the end of our tunnel.’ 

On October 12, Tom announced he has grade four glioblastoma, with the Bolton native undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment in a bid to prolong his life. 

Life expectancy for this illness ranges from three months to 18 months after diagnosis, but the couple have not asked to hear Tom’s prognosis amid fears he would ‘sit and count down the days and not live his life’. 

The Grease star and the vlogger announced they were expecting their second child in June this year.  

Kelsey decided she wanted a home birth, so Tom could be around after Covid restrictions in hospital would have limited their time together during labour. 

The couple have been together for more than 10 years after originally meeting in a night club. They became engaged in 2016 and tied the knot two years later in July 2018.  

They decided to announce his devastating diagnosis, 36 weeks into Kelsey’s pregnancy.  

Posting a photo with Kelsey and Aurelia Rose, the stage star wrote: ‘Hey guys, you know that we’ve both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it’s time to tell you why. 

‘There’s no easy way to say this but I’ve sadly been diagnosed with a Brain Tumour and I’m already undergoing treatment.  

‘We decided, after a lot of thought, that rather than hiding away and trying to keep it a secret, we would do one interview where we could lay out all the details and let everyone know the facts in our own way. 

‘We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way. We don’t want your sadness, we just want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options. 

‘It’s gonna be a tough battle but with everyone’s love and support we are going to beat this. Tom and Kelsey xxx.’
