Who Is Amanda Kloots’ Husband Nick Cordero? Meet Late Spouse

Amanda Kloots has made a ton of sacrifices in her life, but she’s grateful they all led her to her beloved husband, Nick Cordero. The Talk cohost and the late Mob Town actor were only together for three years before his death, but the lovebirds enjoyed countless memories to last a lifetime.

Amanda and Nick first met when they were working on a musical in 2014. At the time she crossed paths with the acting star, Amanda just “went through an unexpected divorce, felt completely lost and terrified,” she wrote on Instagram in June 2020. However, that all changed when she was introduced to the Stand Up Guy actor. “I met Nick doing the Broadway show Bullets Over Broadway. We were friends first and then fell in love,” she sweetly recalled.

The theater actress and the handsome hunk dated for the next few years before tying the knot in September 2017. The adorable couple then experienced parenthood when she gave birth to their only son, Elvis, in June 2019.

Throughout the months after welcoming Elvis, Amanda often gave fans glimpses inside their life as a family of three. “He smiles all the time and his giggle when we tickle him melts our hearts,” she wrote alongside an adorable photo of their tot. “He loves getting kisses, hugs and cuddles from mom and dad.”

Sadly, Nick died at age 41 in July 2020 following a 95-day battle with COVID-19. The Inside Game actor was first hospitalized with coronavirus at the beginning of the pandemic, but he died after a heartbreaking battle.

“God has another angel in heaven now,” Amanda emotionally wrote in a tribute for Nick at the time. “My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”

Following Nick’s death, the AK! Rope creator revealed there hasn’t been a moment when Nick isn’t on her mind. While paying tribute to their fourth wedding anniversary in September 2021, Amanda shared photos from their special day, saying she’ll “never, ever forget” the moment they said “I do.”

“Our wedding was one of the best days of my life. I’ll never forget our first look, our first kiss as husband and wife and our first dance,” gushed the TV personality, who is cast on season 30 of Dancing With the Stars. “You’ll always be my husband, my angel now, but always the love of my life. Here’s to us.”

Nick Was Very Talented

Dropping out of school surely paid off for Nick, who paved a successful career as a singer, actor and stage performer. He made his debut in the off-Broadway production of The Toxic Avenger in 2009, but he got his big break in 2014’s Bullets Over Broadway.

Nick’s performance of Cheech even earned him a Tony nomination for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical, as well as led to roles in Broadway’s Waitress, A Bronx Tale and many others.

Nick also acted on the small screen. In 2017, he appeared in Out of the Blue and Heavy is the Head, as well as made a guest appearance on the CBS drama Blue Bloods.

Elvis Is Nick’s Mini-Me

From the very moment Nick and Amanda welcomed little Elvis on June 10, 2019, the Hollywood star couldn’t have been more thrilled to be a dad. Lucky for Nick, his little bundle of joy not only looks just like him, but acts similar to him as well.

“I have said from the beginning that Elvis is a mini-Nick,” she wrote next to side by side photos of the father-son duo. “I’ve noticed now that Elvis does this look a lot to me. When he is playing and I call his name to look at me or we are cuddling in bed and he looks up at me. It makes my heart melt.”

Nick Was Beloved By So Many

Following Nick’s death, an outpouring of love and support came from fellow Hollywood stars. Priscilla Presley, Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and more paid tribute to the actor’s passing with tributes on social media.

“I’m so shocked to see the news today that Nick has passed. My heart and soul goes out to Nick Cordero’s beautiful wife and family. Rest in peace, Nick,” Priscilla wrote. Ben added, “Sending love and deep condolences to the family of Nick Cordero.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar also shared a heartbreaking message after her friend’s life was cut short. “I’m not even sure what to say right now,” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum wrote. “Amanda, because of this horrible disease, we can’t even hug you. But it’s important that you know, there is an army of people here, ready to support you in ANY and EVERY way possible. I wish you understood the inspiration that you have been to so many, and I hope that brings you even the smallest bit of comfort through all this. But none of this is fair.”

Although Nick is gone, Amanda has all their beautiful memories to hold onto.
