Tom Parker's widow Kelsey revealed how her children are around her new boyfriend, Sean.
The Wanted singer Tom died at the age of 33 in St. Christopher's Hospice in Bromley in March 2022, 18 months after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. He shared optimistic updates about his treatment journey, but the boyband singer's condition rapidly deteriorated in the days before his death.
He married Kelsey Hardwick in 2018, after meeting the trained actress in a nightclub in 2009. The couple welcomed their second child, Bodhi, in October 2020, just a few days after Tom received the devastating health news. They also share three-year-old Aurelia together.
Following his death, Kelsey found love with Sean and admitted she was surprised anything developed with him as she wasn't expecting it. The star also opened up about how the children, Auriela and Bodhi, react to him being around their house - which is "full of Tom."

But Sean doesn’t shy away from that. After the kids met him, Aurelia said, ‘Daddy died of a brain tumour’ and he just replied, ‘I know, darling. We all miss your Daddy’. He’s another reassuring person for them, he’s a massive support.”

Kelsey and Sean began dating after meeting at a wedding in Greece. Five months later, in March, Kelsey’s romance with Sean was over. But their relationship was rekindled at another mutual friend’s wedding in Greenwich, South London, and they are now closer than ever.
It comes after Kelsey made a sweet tribute to Tom after Aurelia started primary school. She took to Instagram to share the poignant milestone with her followers. In the heartfelt post, a carousel of photos shows the four-year-old standing on the doorstep of her Kent house and wearing her checked smock uniform. In a short video also shared by Kelsey, the tot waved excitedly at the camera, before making the peace sign and blowing a sweet kiss to her chuffed mum.
"What do you think Tom? Isn’t she just perfection?" Kelsey captioned the adorable update. "The world is yours baby girl… go get it and make us proud x." A couple hours before making the post, the K2K Performing Arts School owner shared candid words about experiencing the special moment without her beloved husband.
"Really missing Tom today," Kelsey wrote beneath a selfie of her looking forlorn and pensive. "Not even sure it’s sadness today. If I’m honest I’m a bit angry." The Abducted star then revealed that she'd received news of "unwanted change" over the weekend, leaving her "scared and unsure of the future again."
"I’m being dramatic, it’s nothing big and I know this feeling will pass," Kelsey added. "I’ve come this far, I’m not about to give up now!" Elsewhere in the update, she gushed about how 'confident, aware, happy and inquisitive' Rae is, before adding, "I just know that my little sponge is gonna soak up everything she learns and I can’t wait for her to share it with the world (and me at bedtime every night)." Kelsey, who also shares three-year-old Bohi with her late husband, also admitted that she's "a little tired of every joyous moment having that little dark cloud."
