Kelsey Parker (Tom Parker from the Wanted's widow) pregnant

[TonyMammoth]

What are thoughts on this? I read this morning that Kelsey is pregnant by her new boyfriend who's a tree surgeon called Will. He looks a really decent bloke from the article I saw. She was in the news for starting a relationship with a man who had been in prison for manslaughter 8 months after Tom's death and this man seems to be the total opposite, seems they have been together since some time last year.

Do people think it's too quick? Tom's parents have said they're happy for them, but is that being diplomatic because of the possibility of later down the line not being able to see their grandchildren.

None of anybody else's business, of course, but it seems they want it to be people's business when these stories are posted all over the internet and they state they are "going public".

Interested in thoughts and if they are the same as friends with children that I have.

'The new partner looks a thoroughly decent guy and they all look happy.'

........

You came to that conclusion from a few pictures in the Daily Mail?!

You know nothing about any of these people and what they are truly like.

Why would you even care what this woman does?

OP your opening post, and others since, sound batshit.

Are you on work experience at the DM?

She's not a celebrity. I don't know why anyone would care the fact she's dating a tree surgeon.
What a bizarre thing to write a thread about.

Good for her

Jesus wept...

Why do you care???

I've told my DH that if I were to die I would want him to find someone else. Obviously I'd want that person to be decent and care for my child but I think my husband would be the best person to make that decision.

Ugh what an awful thread.

I hope they’re all happy and healthy.

What a distasteful thread you’ve started OP

It's a news article! People talk about what's in the news. Are you suggesting they aren't happy and he's not a decent guy? That doesn't seem very nice.

if that was the case and you had good intentions, why did you have to include the detail of the failed relationship before this one? I don’t see the relevance.

He sounds a decent man. She’s young and I think deserves happiness

Did you know that you don’t have to read things in the media? Nobody is forcing you to read any type of article or online post. You don’t need to comment either.

It’s probably a lot more healthy for the general public if we don’t buy into celebrity culture and become occupied with their lives.

I think if she’s happy and the kids are happy and her deceased husband's family is happy then it’s none of your business.

If you've read loads of negative comments and now you've come here for balance couldn't you just balance it yourself??

I think it’s lovely news. I hope her and her new partner make a happy and loving family
together. She was so young when she was widowed as were the children, they deserve some happiness and stability. She has to build a new life.

I do think it’s unfair to slate the OP for wanting to discuss it. Kelsey has gone to the press herself to make this public and therefore opening it up for discussion. I think for her selling their stories has become a source of income. She needs to provide for those kiddies so I understand that.

Not your business

A lot of people are missing the real point. It's not about her moving on 3 years after Tom's death, but the fact she's only known this new bloke for a few months and has already moved him in and having a child. He's only 27 so of course he will want his own family. She's entitled to do all of this but people do discuss news stories that are posted. That's why they are posted!

She is young and we only get given one life. I hope she lives it to the fullest and has a healthy baby and a happy relationship.

I don't care if someone "moves on" one day or 20 years later. The person is dead and they aren't coming back.
Life is for the living.

None of anybody else's business, of course, but it seems they want it to be people's business when these stories are posted all over the internet and they state they are "going public"

Better than having the Mail splash it all over the papers without their consent - which I would happily bet (and I reckon win) a thousand quid is what has actually driven this course of action.

Yes I now think she has done that for that reason. They still managed to turn up at Kirstie Allsop's wedding when she hadn't told anyone! Someone spills the beans.

I think this counts as a "until you've walked a mile in someone elses shoes, then keep quiet" situation.

Or she could be so lonely and sad that's she's just trying to move on and not suffer. As long as her and kids and happy and safe leave them be.

She’s been to hell and back. I can’t imagine the pain of watching your young husband die and I’m also a widow. Wish her and her lovely children all the happiness in the world.

I think it's different when the other parent is still alive.
