'I can't believe it's two vears since I lost Tom'

On the anniversary of Tom Parker's death, his widow Kelsey reflects on trying to move on after losing the love of her life

It's been almost two years since Kelsey Parker's world fell apart. On 30 March 2022, her husband, Tom Parker - a singer with pop band The Wanted - passed away after a brave battle with brain cancer.

On top of the overwhelming grief of losing the love of her life at such a young age, Kelsey was left to bring up their two children, Aurelia, now four, and Bodhi, now three, without their doting father by her side.

Kelsey did embark on a new relationship with electrician Sean Boggans some eight months after Tom's death - but she announced last December that the romance is over. She wrote on Instagram, "It's a shame it didn't work out as he's a really amazing person, but it just wasn't right. Hopefully one day I will find love again."

Opening up at the recent Together For Short Lives Ball, Kelsey - who often shares the life milestones missed by Tom on her social media - spoke about grief, remembering her "soulmate" and facing the difficult month ahead.
