Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey has shared an emotional post to mark what would have been her late husband’s 34th birthday, as she opened up about her “really tough day” online.
On Thursday, the mum-of-two, 32, took to Instagram to thank her loyal legion of fans for the hundreds of sweet messages of support she had received throughout the day on The Wanted star’s birthday.
The singer sadly passed away on March 30 after he lost his battle with terminal brain cancer nearly two years after he learned about his diagnosis back in October 2020.

Luckily the blonde bombshell’s day started to improve after she accompanied her two children and the rest of their dance school on an afternoon tri[ to Regent’s Park in London to watch 101 Dalmatians.
To keep the train full of children occupied for the two-and-a-half-hour long ride, the group burst out into song as they performed This Is Me from the musical The Greatest Showman.
And a beaming Kelsey could be seen in the background clapping and swaying in time with the music as she listened to the song with a proud smile on her face.

“@k2kstars trip to see 101 Dalmatian’s at Regent’s Park, how can their voices not fill you with a bit of joy.”
