Kelsey Parker shares memory painting for late son Phoenix

Kelsey Parker has revealed a painting she preserves in memory of her late son Phoenix, months after the stillbirth of her third child. Phoenix died one week before his planned due date in June, leaving Parker and her partner Will Lindsay to cope with an unimaginable loss. Phoenix was Parker’s first child with Lindsay, and the artwork was gifted by Will’s godmother Teresa. The painting depicts a phoenix spreading its wings against an evening sky and Parker says it has become a source of comfort for the family as they hold Phoenix close in their hearts.

Parker shared details of the gift on social media, explaining that the artwork allows the family to feel a connection to Phoenix even though he is not physically with them. The image, she noted, has become a meaningful keepsake that helps them process grief and continue daily life with the memory of their baby boy present in their home.

Phoenix’s death adds another layer to Parker’s family story. The influencer is also mother to Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with her late husband Tom Parker, who died in March 2022 from glioblastoma. Parker began dating Kent tree surgeon Will Lindsay last year and publicly announced their romance in September. Since then, she has spoken about the scrutiny she faced online over moving on, saying that while she acknowledges lingering guilt, she and her children deserve happiness and normalcy after years of grief.

The family’s updates come as Parker has continued to share personal milestones to fans and followers. In June, she wrote about Phoenix’s passing in a heartfelt post that underscored the enormous impact of the loss on the family. The couple has asked for space to grieve and adjust to life with a new child life chapter, while honoring Phoenix’s memory.

Phoenix’s name was chosen to reflect a sense of revival and warmth the family hoped he would bring. In social posts surrounding his loss, Parker described Phoenix as a bright and cherished presence who lived in the family’s hearts even though he did not take a breath. The emphasis throughout these messages has been on memory, healing, and the ongoing process of building a home that includes all of Parker’s children and the love she continues to share publicly.
