by · Mail Online

Kelsey Parker has shared a relationship update with her fans.

The TV star, 34, became a widow in March 2022 when her husband Tom Parker - best known as a member of The Wanted - succumbed to brain cancer aged just 33.

The Glad You Came singer also left behind their children Aurelia, four, and Bodhi, three.

Now, Kelsey, an occasional Loose Women panellist, has released an image of herself getting close to her new partner.

She was in great spirits as the pair embraced in an outdoor location, and Kelsey simply captioned the post with a heart emoji.

Kelsey Parker has shared a relationship update with her fans more than two years on from the tragic death of her husband Tm
Tom died from stage four glioblastoma brain cancer at the age of 33 on March 30, 2022, after he was given 12 months to live when he was diagnosed in October 2020

Kelsey did not share any specific details about her new man, but she received several supportive messages from her celebrity friends.

Geordie Shore legend Vicky Pattinson - who recently tied the knot with Ercan Ramadan in her 'dream' wedding ceremony -  wrote: 'Never been happier for someone'.

Giovanna Fletcher - who is married to McFly star Tom Fletcher - simply left a string of heart emojis to congratulate her pal.

And one fan acknowledged that it must be a 'hard thing' for Kelsey to do after everything she has been through in the last couple of years. 

They wrote: 'Must be the hardest thing after all you’ve been through posting this and inviting people in! You deserve all the happiness in the world .'

In November 2022, eight months after Tom's death, she began dating electrician Sean Boggans - although they have since split. 

But despite finally finding happiness again, Kelsey was inundated with vile messages about not 'grieving properly' despite finding it hard to cope. 

Kelsey hit back at trolls as she told The Daily Star: 'When you've lost someone you love so much, it proves to you that you've only got one life. 

Kelsey's post was met with messages of support from her celebrity friends and her followers even waded in to send their congratulations

Sharing an update to Instagram earlier in December. she admitted that while she was no longer with Sean, she hoped 'to find love again one day'

'Tom would want me to be happy. You've got one life, so you should live it. That's what he's taught us.

'When it comes to dating again… what's it got to do with anyone else? I think whatever makes you happy in life, you've got to do it.'

'There is so much stigma on how you should grieve. People think you should wear black with a veil over my face and be a walking widow. But that's not the case. I'm still young and I've got kids to look after.

'There is no rule book for grief out there and I'm saying to people: don't worry about how you're grieving because there is no right or wrong way to do it.

'You could be smiling one minute and then deep in emotion the next minute. There is no wrong or right way.'

Kelsey and Tom were together for around 13 years. They announced their engagement in 2016 and married in a romantic ceremony in Surrey in 2018.
