Last year, widowed Kelsey Parker revealed she had found a new love, and now she has updated fans by sharing that he has moved in with her.
Kelsey’s husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, died in March 2022 of brain cancer when he was just 33 years old. He and Kelsey had been together since 2009 and had two children together, Aurelia, who is now five, and four year old Bodhi. She originally shared that she had a new partner, tree surgeon Will Lindsay, last year, and in an interview with The Sun she has now spoken about her relationship.
“I’m just trying to move forward and live my life,” she said, adding that her main focus was her children and what her late husband would want for them. She revealed that, since she had known Tom since she was 19, she had never really dated anyone else and was nervous to start again.
She said that she met Will on a night out and once they began a relationship she wanted to make sure she had the approval of Tom’s family, which they easily gave. Kelsey also believes she has Tom’s blessing, too, after meeting with spiritualists following his death. “I’m quite spiritual. I had been seeing spiritual people who told me that Tom was coming through, saying: ‘Get the wedding ring off as you’re blocking yourself, you need to move forward and meet someone,’” she said.
After briefly dating electrician Sean Boggans, she met Will, and is grateful he understands how her children are coping with the loss of their dad, as he lost his own father whom he was very close to when he was 21. Kelsey shares that Will gets on well with both of her children, and they have discussed the possibility of having kids together, too.
“Will is not really bothered about getting married or anything like that. But he hasn’t got children so he would like kids. I do think that could be on the cards for us. Tom and I spoke about having more kids because I wanted four. When he was first diagnosed, I wanted him to go and freeze his sperm, but he wouldn’t. I really wanted him to because I really believed he was going to get better,” she said.

PA)Kelsey previously spoke to OK! about going public with Will and the nerves she had before doing so. Speaking at the Pride of Britain Awards in October, Kelsey said: "I'm very happy. Everyone has been so supportive which has been lovely and wonderful - I was so scared to share it because, you know, trolling is such a big thing. I was thinking, 'Am I going to get trolled?' but the support and love has been absolutely incredible."
Speaking about Will on an episode of her podcast Mum's The Word, which she co-hosts with Georgia Jones, Kelsey said: “Will is used to us as a family now. He brings happiness into our house – a different sort of happiness. Obviously, when it was the three of us we were happy, but now he’s bringing that something else in.”
