The widow of Tom Parker has reportedly struck up a relationship with someone new eight months after The Wanted singer’s death.

Kelsey Parker, who shares two children with the late Gold Forever hit-maker, is said to be seeing electrician Sean Boggans, 39, after meeting him while taking a break with friends in Lindos, Rhodes, in September.

She recently attended the wedding of a member of Mr Boggans’ family in Kent where an insider told the MailOnline that they were “clearly affectionate with one another”.

Dad-of-two Boggans recently split from the mother of his children, but the publication states that there was no crossover with Kelsey.

“It’s very early days and no-one knows what the future will bring, but for now, Kelsey is happy that someone else has come into her life,” the source said.

Tom and Kelsey reportedly met in a nightclub back in 2009, and both admitted it was love at first sight.

They got engaged in 2016 and were married two years later.

He died aged 33 following a public battle with a brain tumour.

Kelsey recently opened up during an appearance on ITV’s Loose Women about the void that has been left in her life following Tom’s passing and admitted that the nights were particularly “tough” once the children had gone to bed.

“Evenings are so tough,” she explained. “Because the kids go to bed and then it’s just me and that’s the time you speak to your partner, you gossip and you talk and I don’t have that any more.”

The Standard has contacted a representative for Kelsey Parker for comment.

Elsewhere, Kelsey recently completed a gruelling five-day trek to raise funds for breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!

Vicky Pattison, Pete Wicks and Giovanna Fletcher also took part.

The group set off on November 12 and trekked for more than 10 hours each day through Morocco's unforgiving landscape in an attempt to reach 100km.

Afterwards, she proudly took to Instagram to update fans, writing: “Probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but also one of the most rewarding, healing and amazing experiences!”
