Pregnant Kelsey Parker feels reportedly let down by her late husband Tom Parker’s close mate, Max George.
Kelsey, 34, recently shared the news that she’s expecting her third child three years following her husband Tom’s heart-wrenching death.
Her pregnancy announcement was met with a bittersweet sentiment as she recounted to the Mirror: “Tom and I always said we wanted four but life had other plans,” she shared with heartache laced with hope.
“So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet. The joys of finding out I’m pregnant and moving forward with my life, while thinking, ‘My life could have been so different.’ I’ve felt every emotion under the sun. 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.”
But alongside her happiness lingers a sense of disappointment, as she reportedly finds herself ‘deeply hurt’ by celebrity Max George’s withdrawal from her life and that of her children. Following Tom’s tragic demise at only 33, Max, a cherished friend, had stayed in touch with Kelsey.
It was recently suggested that Max, who has experienced his own health struggles, seems to have faded away. A source told the Daily Mail: “When Tom died, Max was quick to tell everyone how he planned to always be there for Tom’s wife and children, that he would take care of them and look after them.”, reports .

“There was no reason to think he didn’t mean it and Kelsey was so grateful. But recently he has disappeared. He doesn’t visit her and the kids and isn’t involved in their lives.”
A source told The Mirror that Kelsey is quite troubled by Max’s absence, particularly as he continues to discuss Tom in public without maintaining a personal connection.

Sources suggest there’s ‘no love lost’ now, with Kelsey deeply wounded by Max distancing himself, leading to a ‘strained’ relationship between them.
This insight follows Kelsey’s heartfelt revelation to the Mirror about expecting her third child. Already mother to Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, she’s expanding her family while cherishing the memory of her late husband, Tom.
Kelsey’s new bundle of joy is with her current partner, Will Lindsay, whom she met last year through a chance encounter. Kelsey and Will reside in the home she once shared with her late husband.
She recently revealed to us: “Tom and I had a house before, which we had the kids and got married in. We moved into my current home in September 2021, and Tom only had eight months in this place, but I feel like he picked it for me. Will gradually moved in. There wasn’t a specific date, but he moved in when it felt right for all of us. Right now, we don’t have any plans to move elsewhere and we’ve made this our home.”
Kelsey also shared that the impending arrival of her and 27 year old Will’s baby was what she termed a “happy accident”. Recalling the moment she found out, she said: “It was October 21st, the day after Will’s birthday. He shares a birthday with Bodhi. I was shocked but so happy. Will cried his eyes out!”.
