Kelsey Parker discusses moving on after Tom
Kelsey Parker has spoken out about her late husband Tom's parents' views on her finding love again, revealing they are supportive of her decision.
Tom, a member of the band The Wanted, sadly passed away in March 2022 at the age of 33 after battling brain cancer, leaving behind Kelsey, 34, and their two young children, Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four.
Two years on from his passing, Kelsey has found love again with 27 year old tree surgeon Will Lindsay, whom she has been linked to since September and has introduced to her children.
Appearing on ITV's Lorraine on Friday, Kelsey opened up to host Ranvir Singh, sharing that Tom's parents, Noreen and Nigel, have been understanding and supportive of her decision to move on.
She said: "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."

Kelsey continued: "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 opened up about her struggle with loneliness before finding new love, remarking: "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.", reports the Mirror.

The writer also touched on the subject of grief, stating: "I don't think anyone can fully understand but I have built a community online and I'm doing this for them."
Furthermore, Kelsey shared her insights on the grieving process: "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."
Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1 at 9am
