Congratulations to Tom Parker and his wife Kelsey, who are expecting their first child together! The Wanted singer shared the happy news on Instagram on Thursday, posting a photo of some spaghetti letters spelling out the words: "Something’s Cooking".
A video posted on the former boy band star’s YouTube page showed the couple together in their home, preparing a romantic meal together and giving a glimpse at Kelsey’s tiny bump, before they shared a look at their baby scan and a sign telling fans: "Baby Parker due July 2019." Tom even appears to have written a new song especially for the occasion, celebrating him and Kelsey becoming a "family of three".

Tom proposed to his actress girlfriend in 2016, and they were forced to put their wedding on hold until July 2018 due to the singer’s starring role in the Grease stage show. "We wanted to make sure we plan it right and I don't want to take two weeks off, get married, do a week on honeymoon, then go back on tour. I didn't think that was something I'd be comfortable with," Tom previously told HELLO!.

Speaking about the stresses of wedding planning, the singer said: "We've seen so many venues. But do you know what – I feel like the wedding is the girl's day and her dream. I feel like that might be seen as a cop out, like I don't want to do much, but I’ll roll with that. I mean, Kelsey knows what she wants and how she wants it to be, so I’m letting her put everything into place and I’ll just give her my credit card when needs be."
