Tom, who died on March 30 2022 at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, had two children, daughter Aurelia and son Bodhi, with Kelsey.
And it is seems Aurelia, five, is keen to keep her dad’s memory alive.
Kelsey told OK! Magazine: “I feel like Aurelia’s been in this world before. And when I was eight weeks pregnant, she came up and started talking to a baby in my tummy.
“Will and I just looked at each other in total disbelief! She has also said she’d like the baby to be called ‘Parker’ if it’s a boy.”
Kelsey, 34, admitted it had been “bittersweet” finding out she was expecting because she had also planned a big family with Tom.
“I’ve felt every emotion under the sun,” she said. “I’m still getting my head around it but I’m so excited. And I know I’m putting myself out there, telling people. I just want everyone to be as happy as I am.”
She continued: “I’m just trying to find joy. I love my children – they’ve got me through the worst times. So I feel like I’ve been blessed with another.
“If I dwelled on everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t be here. Tom was my soulmate. I’m still angry he’s gone. But I can’t live in sadness. Tom wouldn’t want that.”
She also said that Tom’s mother Noreen “gave me her blessing instantly” and is excited about having another grandchild.
Kelsey revealed she was in a new relationship with tree surgeon Will , 27, after posting a loved-up snap of the pair of them together last September.
She discovered she was pregnant again in October.
