Kelsey Parker has broken her silence on her secret feud with her late husband Tom Parker’s Wanted bandmate Max George, after it was revealed by the Mail on Thursday.

Tom – who shared children Aurelia, now five, and Bodhi, four, with Kelsey, 34 tragically passed away in March 2022 from brain cancer at 33 years old.

The singer’s bandmates rallied around to support her after Tom’s passing, particularly Max, who even gave a heart-wrenching eulogy at Tom’s funeral in April 2022.

However, the Mail has revealed that relations between Kelsey and Max have become ‘strained’, and a secret feud between the pair has emerged in the three years since.

Kelsey’s friends have said she has been left ‘deeply hurt’ by Max frequently talking about Tom in public but not visiting her or her two children.

Those close to her add that Max has ‘disappeared’ from the lives of daughtter Aurelia and son Bodhi.

This week saw Kelsey announce the happy news that she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay, three years after Tom’s death. 

But pals say her joy at rebuilding her life has been soured by Max’s behaviour, with it being speculated that he has lost interest in Kelsey after she found happiness with tree surgeon Will, 27.

She has now addressed the feud for the first time, stating she was too busy to be ‘falling out of with people’ with three kids and another on the way.

While she sent her well-wishes to Max following his emergency heart operation last month, she pointedly added that there are ‘bigger things to get upset about’ than feuds.

Speaking to Fabulous, Kelsey said: ‘There’s no feud on my part. I’m a busy woman. I’ve got two kids. I’m growing a baby. I’ve not got the time for falling out with people and having feuds. It really ain’t a bit of me.

‘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. When you’ve lost someone you realise there are much bigger things to get upset [about].’

However, she also pointedly added that Max’s fellow Wanted members Jay McGuinness and Siva Kaneswaran had congratulated her on her pregnancy news.

She gushed: ‘Jay was so excited. He can’t wait for the baby and Siva messaged me and congratulated me too, which was nice. Everyone has been really kind and is pleased for me.’
