Kelsey Parker shares emotional message on first Valentine's Day without her The Wanted star husband Tom

Kelsey Parker has shared an emotional message on her first Valentine's Day without her husband, Tom. On Tuesday (February 14), the mum-of-two took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of herself with her late partner before his tragic death last March.

Tom, who shot to fame as one-fifth of pop boyband The Wanted, died in March 2022 after being diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma. He shared the news of his diagnosis with fans in October 2020 when Kelsey was pregnant with their second child, son Bodhi.

Kelsey has since shared her grief journey in the six-part documentary series, Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, which aired on ITVBe at the end of last year. It followed Kelsey and her two children, daughter Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two, as she navigates their life after the death of her husband and their dad.

And taking to Instagram today, Kelsey shared a photo of her kissing Tom, who was just 33 when he passed away after battling the incomparable brain tumour, and reflected on how 'lucky' she was to have spent the last 13 Valentine's with her now-late husband and how different her life looks almost a year on.

"This time last year I was full of hope. We were in Spain where Tom was in daily therapy and he was the strongest and healthiest he’d been in a long time," Kelsey typed alongside the sweet snap. "I was lucky enough to spend Valentine’s and another 3 weeks just me and Tom. I never could have known how precious that time was or imagined the pain that was ahead of me and now, a year later, I’m facing the anniversary of a whole year without you Tom."

She went on to share how she had been contemplating 'if and what' to post on Valentine's
