Kelsey Parker continued to soak up the newborn bubble with her partner Will Lindsay after welcoming a baby girl as she shared sweet snaps on Instagram on Sunday.
Last week the 36-year-old revealed that she had welcomed her little one and shared her sweet name.
The happy news for Kelsey comes a year after she and Will lost their son, Phoenix, who was stillborn at 39 weeks.
It also comes four years after her husband, The Wanted's Tom Parker, died from a brain tumour at the age of 33. They shared two children Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four.
She found love with Will in late 2024, two years after Tom passed.
Kelsey reflected on the last few weeks in her post and said she 'doesn't take a single moment for granted'.

She wrote: 'The most emotional few weeks of my life. Somehow my heart feels fuller and more fragile all at the same time.
'Soaking up every second of this little bubble. The sleepless nights, the slow mornings, the cuddles, the tears, watching Aurelia and Bodhi become the most incredible big brother and sister… all of it.
'After everything we’ve been through, I don’t take a single moment for granted. Life can hold so much love and so much loss at the same time. And right now, I’m just letting myself feel it all.
'Our little River, you have brought so much hope with you.'
During a family outing near their London home this week, Kelsey looked every inch the doting mum as she held up River in her white baby grow.
She looked happy and healthy while out and about and dressed casually in a black co-ord.
Kelsey shared the news of River's birth on her Instagram last week. She wrote: 'Welcome to the world, River. Our little bit of hope.'
Kelsey has been candid about finding love following her husband's passing after she first started dating tree surgeon Will in September 2024.
She revealed at the time that Tom's parents 'fully supported' her, saying: 'I've got such an amazing village and even with Tom's parents Noreen and Nigel, they have supported me with whatever I've decided to do and they understand how hard it is.'
Kelsey announced her pregnancy in May, saying that Tom and Phoenix had sent her a 'rainbow baby' – a term used for a healthy baby born after a family has experienced a previous pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant death.

She sweetly doted on her newborn daughter
Despite her new love, she previously explained that Tom very much lives on in their home, saying: 'For us at home, Tom is so alive in our house and we speak to him every day...
'For my children, they are still babies and they are still processing it every day so these conversations are never going to go away and we are still dealing with the conversation.'
Kelsey spoke of how meeting Will helped her recover from her loneliness, saying: 'It's about finding happiness and with friends and family there is only so much they can do and it's lovely to have someone to offload to...
'I was lonely and I'm 34 now, I was so lonely and just wanted someone and now I've met someone.'
On grieving, she said: 'What I've learnt is there is no wrong or right way to grieve and we all talk about when is it the right time to move on and I just don't think there is a right time...
'I never thought at the age of 32 with two young children that I would have been widowed.'
She has also previously spoken about how her children helped her with Phoenix's death, saying: 'My kids are my everything, they have got me through the darkest of times...
'I can't believe I'm back here three and a half years later dealing with such a loss and a devastation, but me and Will have the kids and they have to have normality, they have to go to school...
'I did do the school run and for me, I think you have to rip the plaster off at some point, and if I'd left it until after the summer holidays and I came back and saw the parents, people don't know what to say...
'We are so awful about talking about grief, loss and death and us as a family, we're not. So, I did get up and do the school run, and I faced everyone.'
Earlier this month, Kelsey was forced to hit back at a cruel troll who told her to 'move on and stop thinking' about The Wanted star.

Kelsey has continued to talk about her late husband and on what would have been his 38th birthday, she shared an emotional message on Instagram about her missing Tom.
Her heartwarming message about Tom was tarnished after a troll messaged her telling her to 'stop thinking about him'.
Kelsey reshared the user's message that read: 'Yes I am going to sound like a c*** but you need to stop thinking about your ex-husband who has passed away.
'You have moved on. You are in a new relationship. Think of how this new guy is feeling hearing how much you care about your ex-husband?
'That is such a kick in the teeth to the new guy, forget about that, he is your future and this new baby, stop living in the past.'
In her reply, Kelsey wrote: 'Tom wasn't my ex-husband. He was my husband, and he died. There is a huge difference.
'Loving someone who has died doesn't stop because you're in a new relationship. Grief isn't something you 'move on' from or switch off. You learn to carry it alongside the life you continue to build.
'Will understands that, just as he still loves and remembers his own dad who died when he was 21.
'I would never expect him to stop talking about his dad, and he would never expect me to stop talking about Tom.
'My past, my present and my future can all exist together. They're not mutually exclusive.'
