Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey joined Loose Women on Friday to open up on life after the death of her husband, moving forward with her children and the man in her life

Kelsey Parker revealed the heartbreaking question her young daughter asked following the death of her dad The Wanted star Tom as she discussed her new autobiography.

The widow opened up to the Loose Women panel on how she keeps Tom’s memory alive for her two children, Aurelia and Bodhi. She said: “He’s so present in our house there’s still all the pictures from our wedding, Tom’s everywhere in our house.

“But for them, it’s constant like this morning I did a little video of [her daughter] and she said, ‘Can you text that to daddy?’ We’re always talking about daddy and I said, ‘Mummy can’t do that. He’s watching you, he can see you singing and dancing, but I can’t actually send that video to daddy’.”

Kelsey has found love again with Sean Boggans, who she was introduced to at a wedding in Rhodes in September 2022. The pair went their separate ways before recently reuniting after meeting at another mutual friend’s wedding.

The mum-of-two admitted the new relationship has been “hard” as she said: “That’s not plain sailing, either, because it’s really hard. We’re trying a new relationship and I am grieving someone and it’s really, really hard for both of us, but you know what I’m really, really happy and I deserve a little bit of happiness.”

Opening up on her book, Kelsey explained: “In the chapters, you’ll get to spend time with me and Tom together, so you’ll be at our wedding and then in the back end of the chapter will be the year of our first wedding anniversary. You really get a sense our relationship, our love, he was my best friend, my soulmate, my everything.”

“This has been the hardest thing I’ve done, I can’t read the book without crying,” she continued. “It’s a real realisation that this has been my life for the last three years and when Tom got diagnosed, I didn’t have time to think it’s like he got diagnosed and there’s only standard of care and I was on this mission I’ve got keep him alive. Then I’ve got to the point where obviously he died and then it was my kids and how do I move forward and how do I get through this and how do I live my life now without the love of my life?”
