Kelsey Parker announces her baby has died
Podcast host Kelsey Parker has announced that her baby has died.
Parker revealed she was expecting her third child in January, and on Sunday shared an Instagram post with the news that her son was 'born sleeping'.
She lost her husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker, in 2022 after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, and the baby was her first with her new partner Will Lindsay.
Parker, who is mother to Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with the late singer, shared a poem on Instagram about the boy she was expecting, whom she and Lindsay had named Phoenix.
'For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved,' the poem began, with a caption: 'Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved.'

After sharing the post, Parker also put up an Instagram story which read: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heart-felt well wishes, I want to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share.
'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news.
'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space.
'Love always, Kelsey, Will and The Parker Family.'
Parker has previously spoken candidly about how trolls have made her feel guilty for having a new partner.
She said in March: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here any more, so what do people want me to do?
'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything.'
Following her husband's death, Parker has raised money for a brain tumour charity by organising annual charity football matches in his memory.
The 34-year-old hosts a podcast with model Georgia Jones called Mum's the Word! where the pair share parenting advice with celebrity guests.

Screen Talk Previews '28 Years Later' at the Box Office — and Fall Festival Hopefuls
The June 20 box office weekend looks like another blockbuster double-header with the releases of Disney/Pixar's animated family film 'Elio' and Sony's R-rated post-apocalyptic sequel '28 Years Later.' Danny Boyle's follow-up to his groundbreaking 2002 zombie classic '28 Days Later' has some of the best 2025 reviews for a franchise movie. (IndieWire's review is here.) Even if, as 'Screen Talk' co-hosts Ryan Lattanzio and Anne Thompson discuss on this week's IndieWire podcast episode, Ryan found it ultimately cloying and sentimental despite the imaginative filmmaking. Boyle (working from original '28 Days Later' scribe Alex Garland's script) shot the film entirely on the iPhone 15 Pro Max using rig technology, with the film introducing a 'poor man's bullet time' (as Boyle described to IndieWire) for some of the grisliest kills of those infected by the 'Rage' virus. More from IndieWire Apple TV+ Signs First-Look Film Deal with North Road's Chernin Entertainment 'You Kind of Have to Fight for More Room': Melissa Barrera Says Diverse Casting Has Net Effect on Productions '28 Years Later' introduces new characters played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and young newcomer Alfie Williams as members of a society eking out survival amid the virus' containment in Great Britain. The film is tracking to gross $28 million over the weekend but stands to exceed that figure. The new film was shot back-to-back with the sequel '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' with a third film set to star Cillian Murphy still awaiting the official green light. Also opening this week is the Pixar space adventure 'Elio.' An original is always a challenge, and this one could open soft and build, the way both 'Elemental' ($484 million worldwide) and 'Encanto' did ($230 million). It's a delightful look at a young space nut who desperately wanted aliens to find him and welcome him, and then they do! In terms of the 2025 animation slate, though, Anne preferred the less expensive Cannes offering 'Arco,' which is set in the future and was picked up by Neon. The summer box office is looking up again after disappointing outings like 'John Wick' franchise entry 'Ballerina' and 'Karate Kid: Legends.' The live-action 'How to Train Your Dragon' has grossed more than $227 million worldwide since opening June 13. In terms of story and scope, it's very close to the 2010 animated original, and singularly, it's directed by animator Dean DeBlois, who directed the animated trilogy, all nominated for Best Animated Feature. On this week's 'Screen Talk,' Anne and Ryan also look down the pike at what could play at the fall festivals, with 'Bugonia' (Yorgos Lanthimos), 'Hamnet' (Chloé Zhao), and 'After the Hunt' (Luca Guadagnino) expected to play the Venice-to-Telluride circuit. We know Jim Jarmusch's 'Father Mother Sister Brother' will play Venice. Cannes winners like 'Sirât' (Oliver Laxe) and 'Sentimental Value' (Joachim Trier) will almost certainly make a splash at Telluride. The Venice lineup will be revealed the last week of July, and, per usual, we won't have the Telluride list until Labor Day of IndieWire The Best Thrillers Streaming on Netflix in June, from 'Vertigo' and 'Rear Window' to 'Emily the Criminal' All 12 Wes Anderson Movies, Ranked, from 'Bottle Rocket' to 'The Phoenician Scheme' Nightmare Film Shoots: The 38 Most Grueling Films Ever Made, from 'Deliverance' to 'The Wages of Fear'

Tommy Fleetwood's Wife Clare Fleetwood Has Surprising Role in His Career
Tommy Fleetwood's Wife Clare Fleetwood Has Surprising Role in His Career originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Travelers Championship heads into its final round on Sunday, Tommy Fleetwood stands at the top of the leaderboard with a stunning 16-under-par. The 34-year-old Englishman carded a bogey-free 63 in the third round, including an eagle on the 13th. If he holds onto his three-shot lead, Fleetwood can claim his first career PGA Tour victory, a title that has eluded him despite 41 top-10 finishes. Advertisement What makes his journey unique is the woman by his side: his wife and manager, Clare Fleetwood. Married to Tommy Fleetwood since 2017, Clare has played a crucial role in both his personal and professional life. The two first met through Tommy's brother, Joe, when Clare was already working in sports management. Despite a 23-year age gap, their relationship blossomed after she became his manager in 2015. Tommy Fleetwood looks on during the second round of the U.S. Open. Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images 'As we ... sat there listening to different proposals, I'm like, 'I can do this,'' Clare, 57, shared on the Performance People podcast. ' But I just for some reason at the beginning thought I couldn't and I shouldn't. ... Then we gave it six months, and it worked, so we carried on.' Clare, a seasoned professional at Hambric Sports Management and vice president for European operations, initially considered stepping aside when their romance began. But after sitting through other management proposals, she realized, 'I can do this.' Tommy credits her with keeping him grounded, saying, 'She's very clever. ... She judges situations better than you do when you're playing.' The Fleetwoods share a son, Franklin, born in 2017, and Clare has two sons, Oscar and Mo, from a previous relationship. With Tommy's consistent performances and Clare's sharp guidance, the Fleetwood duo continues to chase that elusive PGA win. The Travelers Championship might finally be their moment. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

We offer young people who are frequently marginalised and on society's edge an opportunity to lift themselves up, both through the Big Issue's own earning and learning opportunities, and by championing their voices and views through our journalism. 'For this very special edition, we wanted to learn of the unfiltered hopes, concerns and future plans of this special group of young people. They chose the content, conducted the interviews, guided Big Issue team on how they wanted the pages will look.'

At a time when so many young people are facing unprecedented challenges, we need more opportunities for them to be seen, heard, and celebrated.'
