X Factor star whose fiancee tragically died on their wedding day finds love again with stunning singer
X FACTOR star Tom Mann has found love again with a stunning singer – three years after his fiancee tragically died on their wedding day.
Tom, who was part of the band Stereo Kicks on the ITV singing show, shared photos of new partner Danielle Dolder.
The songwriter, 31, posted a photo of him enjoying a lunch date with Danielle over the bank holiday weekend.
Danielle is a musician and part of the two-piece group titled Dolder with her identical twin sister Zara.
In another snap, Danielle was seen enjoying some time with Tom and his three-year-old son at a restaurant.
Tom has been full of compliments for Danielle and last month posted a red love heart emoji on her latest musical project.
A source said: “It’s early days but they’re dating and things are going really well.”
The Sun has been to Tom’s rep for comment.
In 2022, Tom heartbreakingly lost his fiancee Dani Hampson aged 34 on the morning of what should have been their wedding.
In a devastating post, he revealed at the time: “I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.
“On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak.
“I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.
“I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.”
He continued, saying how he planned to raise their son alone in her memory: “I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.
“I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.
“The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.”
Tom added: “My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever.”
Tom auditioned for the X Factor as a solo artist but was put in the group, which made it to the final of X Factor in 2014.
He went on to write songs for acts including JLS, Becky Hill and Ronan Keating.
