Kelsey Parker breaks silence on ‘feud’ rumours with The Wanted’s Max George following claims he ‘hurt’ her
Kelsey Parker has touched on the rumoured “feud” with her late husband’s bandmate, Max George.
Parker, who is currently pregnant with her new partner Will Lindsay, opened up about her relationship with George, 36.
Parker, 34, explained she is a “busy woman” as she addressed speculation of a “secret feud” with George.
Parker’s late husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker, tragically died at the age of 32 in 2022 after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
As well as his wife, he left behind the two children they shared. Parker has since been candid about her grief journey and moving forward with her young family.
When asked recently about George, Parker confessed: ” “There’s no feud on my part. I’m a busy woman. I’ve got two kids. I’m growing a baby.”
She went on: “I’ve not got the time for falling out with people and having feuds. It really ain’t a bit of me.”
Touching on George’s recent health woes, which saw him rushed to hospital to be fitted with a pacemaker, she added in an interview with The Sun: “We’re both having hard times.
“Obviously, I wish Max all the wellness in the world, because I wouldn’t want anyone to go through any ill health or anything.”
The comments come after it was reported Parker had been left “deeply hurt” by George “disappearing” from her and her children’s lives.
“When Tom died, Max was quick to tell everyone how he planned to always be there for Tom’s wife and children, that he would take care of them and look after them,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“There was no reason to think he didn’t mean it and Kelsey was so grateful. But recently he has disappeared.
“He doesn’t visit her and the kids and isn’t involved in their lives.”
They added that Parker had found it “irking” that the singer had continued to speak publicly about her late husband despite seemingly taking a step back from the family.
Earlier this month, Parker seemed to hint at wedding bells in her future as she expressed interest in wearing one of April Banbury’s wedding dresses “in a couple of years”.
Speaking at the launch of Married At First Sight star April Banbury’s bridal brand, Parker said: “I would love to wear one of April’s wedding dresses in a couple of years’ time, there are some gorgeous designs.”
