Rainbow baby is the term commonly used for a child born after a family has experienced a pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant loss.
Opened up about the devastating miscarriage last year she said she was “taking each day as it comes”
In her first interview since Phoenix's death, Kelsey told The Mirror: “I didn't think I'd be living a relived experience, first losing Tom and now losing Phoenix. But I think with any grief and loss, you have to take each day as it come and work through it.”
Tom died in March 2022 at the age of 33 following a battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer.
