 Kelsey Parker refuses to let 'guilt' stop her from living her life following the tragic loss of husband Tom Parker last year. The influencer suffered utter devastation in March 2022 when Tom died 18 months after being diagnosed with an inoperable grade IV glioblastoma brain tumour. He was just 33 years old. A member of popular boy band The Wanted, Tom left behind two young children – Aurelia, four, and Bodhi, two – as well as a huge legion of friends and dedicated fans. Fast forward to 2023 and Kelsey is now happy in a new relationship, having met Sean Boggans through mutual friends and silencing trolls with an Instagram statement recently about his previous stint behind bars. In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Kelsey speaks openly about navigating a new romance in the public eye after such a tricky 18 months. 'I was very fortunate with Tom that our relationship was in the limelight for a long time, and I had the boys, I had the fans, but it's all new to me,' she admits.

My DMs were flooded with people saying they were happy for me and it's all about breaking down those stereotypes of when is the right time? 'If there is a grief handbook, please hand it to me! I'm just doing what feels best for me and I'm just being Kelsey.' 'What really matters is as long as my kids and family are happy,' she declares. Speaking of her support system, Kelsey says she couldn't have got to where she is now without her late husband's fanbase. Praising the 'best community' who follow and uplift her, the mum-of-two says: 'People might think it's a little too much that I share absolutely everything, but I want people to know that there's no wrong or right way to grieve, it's how yo){kind=link}
