Amanda Kloots, who was married to Nick Cordero until his unfortunate death caused by COVID in 2020, opens up more about coping with life following the tragic death of her lover.
Joining Bobbi Brown on iHeartRadio’s “The Important Things with Bobbi Brown” podcast, Kloots candidly discussed what’s going on in her life, including the harrowing process of trying to talk about the loss with her son, Elvis.

The fitness instructor admitted to having a “very difficult” September, considering it was her and Cordero’s anniversary, also his birthday. She always sees the month as a new beginning because it feels more like a new year than January and includes events that are important to her. Also, his son started school in the same “hard” month.
Kloots later revealed that Elvis started asking more questions about “where his dad was” as he got older. He felt that “part of the grief” was about to start, and he had to deal with his son’s grief after dealing with it for the past two years.
The devoted mother explained that helping her son at a young age understand “where dad is, why he doesn’t live with us, what happened to dad” is “very, very, very difficult.”
She also revealed that the three-year-old never wants her to leave the house and doesn’t want the nanny to stop, making it challenging for her to find a balance as a working mom and trying to go out on dates. Kloots shared:
“You feel guilty every time you leave the house, and she cries. It’s actually been really hard lately. I had many nights where I cried and [thought] ‘this isn’t fair’ and ‘life isn’t fair’ and ‘I shouldn’t be in this position.’”
Elvis, who was a child when his father died, said he really remembers Cordero, which admittedly made his mother uncomfortable. She believes her memory may be because they watched a lot of videos with the late actor or because she talked about him a lot.
Nevertheless, his son remembers and says it, which he likes. When asked what he told Elvis when he wondered where his father was, Kloots said they “just had to start this conversation.” He added:
“I have said, ‘Dada lives in heaven with Jesus, but he is around us all the time. And we can always talk to him; we can hear him sing, and he watches over us all the time.’ That’s all I’ve said so far.”
Last month, The Blast noted that Kloots marked Cordero’s 44th birthday with a heartfelt video on Instagram. In the video, he added several pictures and short clips of the deceased while using audio of him talking to the audience during the show.
“I have lived a blessed life,” the American screen star captioned the post. “I wish I could spoil you rotten today. Happy 44th Birthday Nick.” Positive and loving messages rolled in soon after, with many fans sending happy birthday wishes, heart emojis and heartfelt thoughts through the comments section.
‘The Talk’ Co-Host Honors Her Late Husband On His New Birthday
Earlier in July, The Blast reported that Kloots honored his late partner’s second death anniversary with a touching tribute on Instagram. The post was a mix of videos of the couple reminiscing throughout their relationship while Justin Bieber’s “Ghost” played as the soundtrack.
In the caption, the brilliant dancer told fans that saying goodbye to Cordero was the “hardest” day of her life. He also recounted a friend’s dream on the first anniversary of the Broadway star’s death. He shared:
“We were all at a party, and Nick was there looking happy and beaming. When she asked him why he was there, he said, ‘What do you mean? Today is my birthday. It’s a day I’ll go back and celebrate with everyone I love.’”
The dream changed his perspective, making the parallels between life and death clearer. It also prompted him to change the day, July 5, to be “Nick’s new birth day instead of his death day.”
