Tom Parker's widow Kelsey says The Wanted star would be 'happy' she's found love

Tom Parker's widow, Kelsey, believes he'd be "happy" if she found love following his heartbreaking death.

The singer died in March earlier this year following a devastating battle with a brain tumour which later deteriorated causing him to die from complications from glioblastoma.

However, Kelsey appears to have broken her silence after it emerged that she has found love with Sean Boggans who she met in September this year.

Speaking in the third episode of her ITV series Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, the mum-of-two shared her beliefs that Tom would be happy for her to move on and find love again.

The episode which aired on Thursday saw Kelsey, who appeared in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban meet up with elderly women at a local widows group.

When asked if she believed Tom would be "happy" for her to settle down again, she said: "We didn't really have those conversations but, knowing Tom, I feel like he would be happy for me.

"He'd just want me to be happy and I'm so young."

"He would want you to live a full life," commented another widow.

Kelsey went on to say she was "jealous" of women who had spent as much as up to 60 years with their husband, having been with Tom for 13 years.

"There's never a good age to lose your partner, your best friend and the love of your life," Kelsey said.

It was recently reported that Kelsey had met up with Tom's mum, Noreen for a "heart to heart" about her new romance which came eight months after his death.

A source told The Sun : "Explaining the situation to Noreen was one of the hardest things to do because Kelsey’s not even sure how she feels about it all right now. It is all very new and her emotions are naturally all over the place."

The late singer's mother "understands" that his widow "needs to find a new future for herself," according to the source. They added the family will "support" her.

Kelsey is believed to have found comfort in electrician Sean Boggans earlier this year having met on holiday in Rhodes.

Speaking about the romance, a source told the MailOnline: "It's very early days and no one knows what the future will bring.

"For now, Kelsey is happy that someone else has come into her life."

Meanwhile, another source claimed that the couple "remained close to one another" as they attended the wedding of one of Sean's relatives.
