Kelsey and Sean began dating after they were introduced through friends and went public last November with their romance at a pal’s wedding.

She previously opened up about her “guilt” after she moved on following Tom’s death.

Speaking to OK! magazine the mum-of-two, who shares Bodhi and Aurelia with her late husband and opened up on feeling guilt around her new romance.

Kelsey told the magazine: “I feel guilt about a lot of things, but not in the way I think everyone expects me to feel.

“What I am going through is not something I would wish on anyone – the strength it takes just to get out of bed every single day and stay positive, be Mum and Dad and face my reality.”

Kelsey added: “I’ll take all the help I can get in battling through this. Anything that gives me a microsecond of relief from the agonising grief and sense of loss.

“Not just losing Tom, but losing everything we had built together and believed we were going to share for the rest of our lives. So no, I don’t feel guilt.

“I question if it’s right for me, my kids, my life.”
