Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey secretly splits from boyfriend Sean Boggans for a second time as she shares hopes ‘to find love again one day’
Tom Parker's widow Kelsey has secretly split from her boyfriend Sean Boggans for the second time.
The mother-of-two, 33, confirmed her new romance in November 2022 after her husband Tom tragically died from a brain tumor the previous March.
She shared an update on Instagram on Wednesday, admitting that even though she was no longer with Sean, she hoped to “find love again one day.”
In April, it was reported that Kelsey had broken up with her boyfriend after a “difficult” few weeks following the first anniversary of Tom's death.
Tom died aged 33 from stage four brain cancer on March 30, 2022, after being given twelve months to live when he was diagnosed in October 2020.

In September, it emerged 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 because he really is a great person, but it just wasn't right.
“Hopefully one day I'll find love again.”
In November last year, it emerged that Kelsey was dating Sean about eight months after her husband Tom's death.
Sean spent time behind bars in 2013 after fatally beating 44-year-old Shaun McDermott during a heated argument over a taxi outside the Havering Oak pub in Romford, Essex.
He was waiting for his then girlfriend to pick him up when an argument broke out with Shaun, who was knocked to the ground during the skirmish. CCTV footage later showed the electrician walking away from the scene.
Shaun was discovered by police around 1am lying on the pavement with a brain haemorrhage. A postmortem found he died as a result of head injuries, with Boggans given a four-year prison sentence by a judge at the Old Bailey.
He had been drinking at the nearby Wheatsheaf pub with two of his sisters, Maureen and Kathy, before heading home.
Kelsey's representative was contacted by MailOnline for comment at the time.

Kelsey previously admitted her new relationship with Sean 'hasn't been smooth sailing' after she was forced to hit back at mean trolls.
Appearing on Loose Women, she said she “deserves a bit of happiness” after Tom's death, adding it was “really hard” navigating a new romance.
She said: 'That's not plain sailing either because it's really hard, we're trying a new relationship and I'm grieving for someone and it's really hard for both of us but you know what, I'm really happy and deserve it's a bit of luck.'
She added: “Life is tough and you have to be resilient. I have been resilient and I feel like I need luck 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, know that it isn't. '
Speaking about the reactions to the panel show, she said: 'Here's the thing, I wanted the fairy tale with Tom. I wanted a fairytale happy ending, but that didn't happen for me, so how do I move on with my life?
“I put Tom first, I put the kids first. I just feel like I need a little bit of luck right now.”
Recently, Kelsey revealed that their young children still talk to Tom every day.
As she attended the Action For Children's Starry Night Gala at London's Battersea Arts Center on Thursday evening, she said: 'They talk to him every day.
'Today my daughter said something like, “I see a winter. Oh daddy, do you see this?”
'She goes to my grandmother's garden and says, “Oh daddy…”. She will start talking to him.
'And I'm really looking forward to it. I'll say, “Talk to your father.”
She added: “The children know absolutely everything about what happened. They understand what a brain tumor is.”
The couple share daughter Aurelia, four, and son Bodhi, three.

About Christmas, Kelsey said, “We used to always go to my mom's, but I don't want to always do the same thing we did because it's not the same anymore.
“So this year my family is coming to see me. Tom loved Christmas so much.
'We both went shopping and decorated the tree together and he went extreme because he loved this time of year so much.
“And that makes me kind of hate Christmas, even though I'm a very positive person.”
