Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey has secretly split from her boyfriend Sean Boggans for a second time.
The mother-of-two, 33, confirmed her new romance in November 2022, after her husband Tom tragically died of a brain tumour in the previous March.
Sharing an update to Instagram on Wednesday, she admitted that while she was no longer with Sean, she hoped ‘to find love again one day.’
It was reported in April, that Kelsey had broke up with her boyfriend after ‘difficult’ few weeks following the first anniversary of Tom’s death.
Tom died from stage four glioblastoma brain cancer at the age of 33 on March 30, 2022, after he was given 12 months to live when he was diagnosed in October 2020.

In September, it appeared that Kelsey and Sean had rekindled their relationship after attending a mutual friends wedding.
But, during an Instagram Q&A this week, she revealed: ‘We’re not together anymore. It’s a shame it didn’t work out as he’s a really amazing person, but it just wasn’t right.
‘Hopefully one day I will find love again.’
It emerged in November last year that Kelsey was dating Sean some eight months after the death of her husband Tom.
Sean spent time behind bars in 2013 after fatally punching Shaun McDermott, 44, during a heated argument over a taxi outside the Havering Oak pub in Romford, Essex.
He was waiting for his then-girlfriend to collect him when an argument broke out with Shaun, who was knocked to the ground during the skirmish. CCTV footage later captured the electrician walking away from the scene.
Shaun was discovered by police laying on the pavement at about 1am with a brain haemorrhage. A postmortem found that he died as a result of head injuries, with Boggans handed a four-year sentence by a judge at the Old Bailey.
He had been drinking with two of his sisters Maureen and Kathy at the nearby Wheatsheaf pub before heading home.
Kelsey’s representative was contacted for comment by MailOnline at the time.

Kelsey previously admitted that her new relationship with Sean ‘hasn’t been plain sailing’ after being forced to hit back at vile trolls.
Appearing on Loose Women she said she ‘deserves a little bit of happiness’ after Tom’s death, adding it’s been ‘really hard’ to navigate a new romance.
She said: ‘That’s not plain sailing either because it’s really hard, we’re trying a new relationship and I am grieving someone and it’s really, really hard for both of us but do you know what, I’m really, really happy and deserve a little bit of happiness.’
She added: ‘Life’s tough and you have to be resilient, I have been resilient and I feel like I need happiness now.’
Kelsey hit back at trolls after going Instagram official with her boyfriend saying: ‘Tom will always be the love of my life.’
The mother-of-two wrote on Instagram Stories: ‘For anyone who thinks my new relationship is in any way a reflection of how I felt about Tom, after reading today’s paper, pls (sic) know that is not the case.’
Addressing the backlash on the panel show, she said: ‘This is the thing, I wanted the fairytale with Tom. I wanted the fairytale happy ending but that didn’t happen for me so how now do I move forward with my life?
‘I put Tom first, I put the children first. I just feel like now I need a bit of happiness.’
Speaking recently, Kelsey revealed their young children still talk to Tom every day.
While attending Action For Children’s Starry Night Gala at London’s Battersea Arts Centre on Thursday night she said: ‘They speak to him every day.
‘Today my daughter said something like, “I see a winter. Oh daddy, do you see this?”.
‘She’ll go on to my nan’s garden, and be like “oh dad…”. She’ll start talking to him.
‘And I’m really into it. I’ll say, “Talk to your dad”.
She added: ‘The kids know absolutely everything about what happened. They understand what a brain tumour is.’
The couple share a daughter Aurelia, four, and a son Bodhi, three.

Speaking about Christmas Kelsey said: ‘We used to always go to my mum’s, but I don’t want to always do the same as what we did because it’s not the same now.
‘So this year my family are coming to me instead. Tom loved Christmas so much.
‘We’d both go shopping and decorate the tree together and he’d go extreme because he was so into this time of year.
‘And it’s kind of made me not like Christmas, even though I’m a very positive person.’
