Kelsey Parker reveals how she met new man saying late husband Tom ‘gave her a sprinkle of magic’ to meet him
KELSEY Parker opened up about how she met her new man.
It comes after last month The Sun revealed that she found love again with an aspiring musician – two years after the death of her husband Tom.
Days later the pair were pictured looking loved-up as they held hands on a day out.
Now in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Kelsey has revealed that they met on a night out in Kent.
Kelsey said: “I just met him authentically when I was out, which is what I always wanted to do.
“I was just out with my friends, and we met, and it’s really nice. I’m so happy.”
When asked who met the first move, she added: “I think it was a mutual feeling between us.
“I don’t know, it was just very [unexpected].
“Obviously I wasn’t expecting to find anyone, and he’s literally just swept me off my feet.
Kelsey also believes that Tom sent him to her.
“I definitely think he’s very special and I do feel like Tom had a little sprinkle of magic in me meeting him,” she confessed.
“I don’t know, it’s just everything about him,” she added.
“He’s so lovely, caring and kind.
“He sadly lost his dad when he was 21, so he understands the grief and what my kids are going through, so he can really be there.
“He is also a massive pillar of strength for me.”
Kelsey lost her husband Tom in March 2022 after he died of an incurable brain tumour less than two years after his diagnosis.
The pop star – who shot to fame as part of The Wanted – died aged 33.
Kelsey and her new boyfriend went Instagram official with a tree surgeon called Will in September.
They’ve been a part of each other’s lives over the past few months.
An insider said: “Will and Kelsey really hit if off earlier this year and he has been incredibly supportive of her.
“He helped her at a recent charity football match for Tom Parker and has attended other events with.
“She hasn’t been shy about their romance and they pair looked very loved up at a gala last week.”
Tom was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour in 2020 (a noperable stage 4 glioblastoma) and given just 18 months to live.
He later underwent several rounds of chemotherapy and 30 sessions of radiotherapy.
Before his death he was undergoing treatment in Spain and also managed to perform on stage with the rest of his bandmates.
