Kelsey Parker has shared a relationship update with her fans.
The 34-year-old TV star was widowed in March 2022 when her husband Tom Parker, best known as a member of The Wanted, succumbed to brain cancer aged just 33.
The Glad You Came singer also left behind her children Aurelia, four, and Bodhi, three.
Now the occasional Loose Women panellist has posted a picture of herself getting close to her new man.
She was in great spirits as the pair embraced in an outdoor spot, and Kelsey simply captioned the post with a heart emoji.
Kelsey Parker has shared a relationship update with fans more than two years after the tragic death of her husband Tm
Tom died of stage four glioblastoma brain cancer at the age of 33 on March 30, 2022, after being given 12 months to live when he was diagnosed in October 2020.
Kelsey didn’t share any specific details about her new man, but she did receive several messages of support from her famous friends.
Geordie Shore legend Vicky Pattinson, who recently tied the knot with Ercan Ramadan in the wedding ceremony of her dreams, wrote: “I’ve never been happier for someone.”
Giovanna Fletcher, who is married to McFly star Tom Fletcher, simply left a series of heart emojis to congratulate her friend.
And one fan admitted that it must be “hard” for Kelsey after everything she’s been through in recent years.
They wrote: ‘This must be the hardest thing after everything you’ve been through posting this and inviting people! You deserve all the happiness in the world.’
In November 2022, eight months after Tom’s death, she began dating electrician Sean Boggans, although they have since split.
But despite finally finding happiness again, Kelsey was inundated with vile messages about not “grieving properly” even though she was finding it difficult to cope.
Kelsey hit back at trolls when she told The Daily Star: ‘When you lose someone you love so much, it shows you that you only have one life.
Kelsey’s post was met with messages of support from her famous friends and her followers even rushed to send her their congratulations.
Kelsey has built a career as an influencer and author since her husband’s death, and occasionally joins the Loose Women panel (pictured, at the NTAs in London in September 2024).
Tom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020 and following his passing, Kelsey, 33, confirmed the tragic news to everyone (pictured with her two children).
Sharing an update on Instagram in early December, she admitted that while she was no longer with Sean, she hoped to “find love again one day.”
“Tom would want me to be happy. We have one life and we should live it. That’s what he taught us.”
“As far as dating again goes… what does that have to do with anything else? I think you have to do what makes you happy in life.”
‘There’s a lot of stigma about how you should grieve. People think you have to dress in black, wear a veil over your face and be a walking widow. But that’s not the case. I’m still young and I have children to look after.
‘There’s no rule book for grieving and what I tell people is: don’t worry about how you’re grieving because there’s no right or wrong way to do it.
“You can be smiling one minute and deep in emotion the next. There’s no right or wrong way to do it.”
Kelsey and Tom were together for about 13 years. They announced their engagement in 2016 and tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Surrey in 2018.
