He daughter Aurelia was seen excitedly touching her mum’s belly before an adorable moment saw little Bodhi lean over to kiss the bump, ahead of the pair welcoming another sibling.

Kelsey recently revealed she has been bombarded with online abuse since confirming her pregnancy with new boyfriend Will.
Her pregnancy announcement divided followers, and she admitted she was targeted by online trolls after breaking the news.
She told The Sun: ‘It’s crazy. I knew I would be judged. But people who haven’t lost their partner, I don’t know how you can pass comment on me? I have been in such a dark place from losing Tom.
‘I was so lonely and so unhappy. I feel like there are people who want me to always feel like that. I feel like I do deserve to try and find a bit of happiness.
‘I think people think I should be sitting at home and dressed in black all day. I have two children (and another one on the way) that I have to get out of bed for. People are shocked I go to Tesco but I need to feed my kids.’
Kelsey was devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer aged just 33, four years after they exchanged vows.
But she admits she must look forward and establish a future for herself and their children after coming to terms with the fact that he is gone.

She said: ‘While it’s been difficult for me, it’s horrible for Will, too. This is his first child and he’s preparing to be a dad.
‘I’ve already had this experience. I feel like people are taking the excitement away from Will.
‘Although the best thing about Will is that he reads nothing. He has no clue. He goes, ‘Kelsey, I don’t know why you’re looking at those comments.’
Speaking about her baby news in a recent interview with The Mirror, Kelsey said Aurelia has already had ideas about a name for her unborn brother or sister.
She said: ‘I feel like Aurelia’s been in this world before. And when I was eight weeks pregnant, she came up and started talking to a baby in my tummy.
‘Will and I just looked at each other in total disbelief! She has also said she’d like the baby to be called Parker if it’s a boy!’

She also admitted her pregnancy announcement means she’s ‘put herself out there’, but insisted that she wanted people to be as ‘happy’ as she was.
Kelsey also said she believes that the pregnancy would have got Tom’s ‘blessing’, adding that he ‘wouldn’t want’ her to be living in ‘sadness’.
She started dating tree surgeon Lindsay last year, and told how her partner lives with her at the home she shared with Tom and the kids, remarking how he ‘gradually moved in’ when the time ‘felt right’.
The couple stated that they didn’t have a preference about the baby’s sex and were currently ‘undecided’ about whether they wanted to know – as the answer is waiting for them in an email.
