Kelsey Parker has tearful meeting with late husband Tom’s mum as she moves on with new man
TOM Parker’s widow Kelsey held crunch talks with his mother last week after her romance with builder Sean Boggans came to light.
Kelsey started dating Sean eight months after Wanted pop star Tom passed away aged 33 following a brain tumour diagnosis.
Kelsey and Noreen organised the meeting to discuss her moving on, with pals describing the discussion as “highly charged”.
A source said: “Kelsey sat down last week with Noreen for a heart to heart about what is happening between her and Sean.
“Explaining the situation to Noreen was one of the hardest things to do because Kelsey’s not even sure how she feels about it all right now.
“It is all very new and her emotions are naturally all over the place.

“Kelsey is seen by Tom’s mum as part of the family and always will be so Noreen wanted to understand what was happening from Kelsey’s own mouth.
“It was a very emotional conversation and there were lots of tears, but Noreen was adamant that Tom would want Kelsey to be happy.
“Noreen knows how much Tom means to Kelsey and her love for him will never change, but she also understands she’s a young woman who needs to find a new future for herself.
“Ultimately that means she will find someone else to share her life with – and if that person is Sean, Noreen and the family will support Kelsey the whole way.”
Kelsey and Sean, 39, started dating in October after being introduced through pals.
The pair went public at a friend’s wedding in Greenwich, south London, and have been dating since.
Sean previously served four years in jail for the manslaughter of Sean McDermott in 2013 following a bust up in a taxi rank.
Kelsey and Tom have two children together, daughter Aurelia and son Bodhi.
Tom was told he had aggressive and incurable brain tumour in October 2020.
He passed away in March with Kelsey by his side.
