Kelsey Parker Announces Pregnancy With 'Rainbow Baby'

The announcement follows last year’s stillbirth, signalling a continued focus on bereavement care.

Overview

  • Kelsey Parker announced on Sunday, May 31, 2026, that she is pregnant with what she called a “little rainbow baby,” sharing a sonogram in an Instagram video.
  • The pregnancy comes almost a year after Parker and partner Will Lindsay suffered the stillbirth of their son Phoenix at 39 weeks during a rapid home birth.
  • The Metropolitan Police issued an apology for treating Parker’s home as a crime scene and said learning has been implemented, while the ambulance service apologised and said the attending paramedics had not previously seen a stillborn baby.
  • The Instagram post drew widespread public and celebrity congratulations and included a request from Parker for privacy as the family processes the news.
  • Parker is continuing to campaign for better bereavement support for parents who lose a baby, a focus that this announcement is likely to renew attention on and could prompt further scrutiny of emergency and maternity responses.
