Tom Parker's widow Kelsey splits with boyfriend after five months to 'focus on herself'

Tom Parker's widow Kelsey Parker has reportedly split from her boyfriend of five months, Sean Boggans.

Kelsey, 32, reportedly started dating electrician Sean eight months after her husband Tom passed away from incurable cancer. Tom who was diagnosed with incurable glioblastoma in 2020 had been battling the disease with the help of his wife Kelsey and specialist care prior to his death.

Kelsey and Sean went public with their relationship at a wedding last year after being introduced by mutual friends, but have since called off their romance. Kelsey reportedly ended the relationship as she struggled with the one year anniversary of her late husband's death.

An insider told The Sun: “Kelsey has ended her relationship with Sean and is focusing on herself and the kids. The anniversary of Tom’s death last month was incredibly difficult. Being alone is the best thing for Kelsey at this point in time.

“After Tom passed away Kelsey threw herself into work and the children. But as Tom’s anniversary approached she realised how much she was struggling and decided to end it with Sean.

“Kelsey is being supported by her family and friends and is trying to keep her head up for the children.”

Electrician Sean, who previously served four years in prison for manslaughter in 2013, was introduced to Kelsey through mutual friends last year.

The source added: “Kelsey and Sean might not be together anymore but naturally they will continue to care for each other as friends.”

It comes as Kelsey marked the anniversary of Tom's funeral with a poignant and emotional video on her Instagram on Thursday 20 April.

Addressing fans, she said: "A year ago today we laid you to rest, feels like yesterday but also it was a lifetime ago. Another milestone. This is the first time I’ve watched this and I wasn’t sure if I should share it.

“I was asked if I wanted to film that day and I immediately said yes but was met with confusion. I think it made some people feel uncomfortable that we’d film such a sad day but I knew I’d want to remember it."

She continued: "It was another big part of Tom and I knew I’d want to look back on it and remember and of course share with the kids when they’re older.

“I’m not going to lie, it’s all feeling pretty tough right now. I miss you Tom. So much it hurts like hell. But I have to remember what I have to be grateful for.

"The beautiful home and children you left me and this army of supporters who have held me close this last year. We have laughed, cried and had many moments of saying nothing at all but knowing the unspoken words in our hearts," the grieving widow added.
