'[I feel] cheated'
She opened up in a November interview with The Sunday Times on parenting and adjusting to life without the singer. "[I feel] cheated. For the kids but obviously, selfishly for myself," Kelsey said to the outlet. She added that she misses doing the little things together.
"Even when he was ill I'd say, 'As soon as you're better you're taking the bins out again... I miss calling Tom and saying, 'What shall we have for dinner tonight?' Evenings are tough — the kids go to bed and then it's just me. We were a team, best friends. I even miss the arguments."
She celebrated what would have been her fourth anniversary with Tom in July of last year. On Instagram, Kelsey posted, "Never did I ever think this is how I'd be celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary Tom. Most people wish to have their wedding day again, I'd settle for a hug."
