Tom Parker and his wife Kelsey spoke openly about wanting to have more children in one of their last joint interviews together before the singer's tragic death on Wednesday (March 30). The 33-year-old from Bolton, who was a member of boyband The Wanted, died after a battle with an inoperable brain tumour.
His wife Kelsey confirmed the devastating news of Tom's passing on Wednesday afternoon, and scores of tributes have been pouring in ever since. He had been bravely fighting his tumour since he was diagnosed with it in 2020, whilst his wife was pregnant with their second child.
However last December, Tom, who shared Aurelia, two, and one-year-old Bodhi with partner Kelsey, was in high spirits and was optimistic about the couple's future, as they announced they wanted more children in an interview with OK!. He had previously detailed he had wanted to be cancer-free by March.

In one of their last interviews together before his passing, in December, 32 year old Kelsey explained: "Tom keeps saying he's broody! We don't know, we can't say when. We definitely will have more children."
Tom then said: "I'd like to have more, but I'd like to get myself into a better health condition." The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, admitted that they hoped the New Year could see them becoming parents for the third time.
He added: "So if we didn't have any more, we'd be happy," as Kelsey interjected: "But we will have more!" Further opening up about how they see their 2022 playing out, Tom answered at the time: "Hopefully cancer-free, more babies and more shows with The Wanted."
The tragic news of his death, aged just 33, broke on Wednesday afternoon, with Kelsey making the announcement on Instagram. She wrote: "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.
"Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can't imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence. We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom's light continues to shine for his beautiful children."
