Kelsey and Will were pictured recently on a day out looking blissfully happy as they held hands and laughed together.

Kelsey, 33, was widowed when Tom died following a battle with brain cancer in March 2022.

Wills glamorous mother Dawn, 58, remarried following the death of her husband and now lives with his stepfather Lloyd James in Rochester, Kent.

She is the director of a well-known hair salon in the county which she co-founded in 1992, having previously worked in the industry for a number of years.

Kelsey and Will are reported to have grown very close recently, leading to her taking to Instagram over the weekend to share a snap of herself cosying up to her new partner although his identify was not revealed.

She wore a flowery orange dress while her partner wore a grey suit. Beaming in the picture, Kelsey captioned the image with a simple red heart.

A source said: Will has been very supportive of Kelsey because he knows what its like to cope with the loss of someone very close to you.

He helped her at a recent charity football match for Tom Parker and has attended other events with. She hasnt been shy about their romance and they pair looked very loved up at a gala last week.

Just weeks before announcing her new relationship on social media Kelsey said that she knew her late husband Tom would send the right man for her.

She told OK! Magazine: When its meant to be, itll be, and that person will be sent by Tom, I reckon. Hes picking them for me.

Detailing her thoughts on her now-ex Sean Boggans, who she dated following Toms death, she added: I think he sent Sean for a reason. Sean was what I needed at the time, and he was wonderful.

Ill never say a bad word about him. But, right now, I need to focus on work and providing for my children.

Tom was just 33 when he died of brain cancer after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in October 2020.

Tom and Kelsey first met in 2009, getting engaged in 2016 and marrying in 2018.

They shared two children together - a five-year-old daughter Amelia and son Bodhi, three. 

News of Toms brain tumour came just weeks before the birth of their second child.

In November 2022, eight months after Toms death, Kelsey began dating electrician Sean Boggans - although they have since split.

The pair were introduced by friends at a wedding in Londons Greenwich last October but separated as the first anniversary of Toms death approached.

A source told the Sun: Kelsey and Sean split up around the anniversary of Toms death - her head was all over the place around that time and she had a wobble, but Sean still really liked her and pursued her.

After a few weeks of talking they got back together - she couldnt ignore her feelings for him. Its been really hard for them, but she wants to give it a shot.

Sean spent time behind bars after fatally punching Shaun McDermott, 44, during a heated argument over a taxi outside the Havering Oak pub in Romford, Essex.

Kelsey this week hit back at trolls who criticised her for dating again, saying in an interview: When youve lost someone you love so much, it proves to you that youve only got one life.

Tom would want me to be happy. Youve got one life, so you should live it. Thats what hes taught us.

When it comes to dating again… whats it got to do with anyone else? I think whatever makes you happy in life, youve got to do it.

She added: There is no rule book for grief out there and Im saying to people: dont worry about how youre grieving because there is no right or wrong way to do it.

And in lines from her new book, Kelsey Parker: With And Without You, she has also been reflecting on finding love again.

Two years later Kelsey has revealed she is in a new relationship with her tree-surgeon partner, who she met while she was fundraising in honour of her late husband

She explained: I’ve got to a stage in my grief journey where I’ve let that guilt go.

Addressing her time with Sean, she said: At that point in my healing journey, I needed someone to give me what my family and friends couldn’t.

I craved company in the evenings – but, more than anything, I didn’t want to be treated like a widow.

Earlier this year, I decided to take my wedding ring off, and the trolling started again. I took my ring off because, for me, it was too painful to look at it every day. It doesn’t mean I’m forgetting Tom.
