Kelsey Parker reveals how Tom's mum and dad responded to new relationship after 'lonely' admission

Kelsey Parker has revealed her late husband Tom Parker's family's thoughts on her finding new love. Tom, who was a member of the successful band The Wanted, tragically died at just 33 from brain cancer in March 2022, leaving behind Kelsey, now aged 34, and their young children, five year old Aurelia and four year old Bodhi.

Now, two years since his untimely death, Kelsey is now in a relationship with 27-year-old tree surgeon Will Lindsay, who she started seeing in September and has introduced to her children.

During an appearance on ITV's 'Lorraine', Kelsey candidly spoke with host Ranvir Singh, expressing gratitude for the backing she has received from Tom's parents, Noreen and Nigel.

She revealed: "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," reports the Express.

Kelsey went on to say: "For us at home, Tom is so alive in our house and we speak to him everyday. For my children, they are still babies and they are still processing it everyday so these conversations are never going to go away and we are still dealing with the conversation."

Kelsey has candidly shared her experiences with loneliness and the journey to finding new love, telling the Mirror: "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."

She also spoke about dealing with grief, saying: "I don't think anyone can fully understand but I have built a community online and I'm doing this for them."

Kelsey further reflected on her personal grieving process, adding: "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."
