Tom Parker and Kelsey Hardwick first met back in the early 2000s outside a nightclub in London. 

It was an immediate attraction from both sides. During an interview, 

Parker remembered their meeting and how he wanted her to be the mother of his future child.

Similarly, Hardwick was also gone for him, "It was literally love at first sight. I saw him outside a nightclub in London, and I grabbed my friend and said: 'Oh my God, I love him".

After dating for many years, the couple finally got engaged in 2016. 

They, however, had to postpone the wedding because of Tom's professional commitments.

Tom was selected to play Danny Zuko in the touring production of the classic Grease.

According to him," "We wanted to make sure we plan it right, and I don't want to take two weeks off, get married, do a week on honeymoon, then go back on tour. I didn't think that was something I'd be comfortable with."

Finally, in 2018, after ten years of relationship, the duo got married on a farm in Surrey. 

The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, after a year on June 30, 2019, and named her Aurelia Rose.

Similarly, Harwick and Parker announced their second pregnancy in May 2020 and welcomed son Bodhi Thomas in October 2020.

The proud mother Hardwick shared the news via Instagram upon the arrival of Bodhi Thomas Paris.

The caption read:

"We are now complete with our enlightenment Bodhi 🥰."

Parker, already diagnosed with a brain tumor, welcomed his son, who brought huge light, love, and laughter to his life.

Though the father-son had a really small amount of time together, he brought a lot of smiles to Tom in the last days of his life.
