Amanda Kloots makes red carpet debut with sports star beau… 5 years after husband’s agonizing Covid death

Amanda Kloots debuted her new romance with her sports star beau nearly five years after her husband Nick Cordero’s death.

The television personality, 43, made her new relationship red carpet official as she attended An Unforgettable Evening with retired tennis player Justin Gimelstob, 48.

The pair appeared to be attached at the hip at the star-studded event in support of breast cancer research at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. 

And at one point, the former Broadway dancer and Radio City Rockette put on a very public display of affection as she leaned over for a smooch from her newfound love.

Previously, Kloots was married to Cordero, a Broadway star, for three years until his tragic death from COVID-19 in July 2020. 

For the glamorous gala with her hunky beau, she slipped into a baby blue, satin dress featuring a chic, high neckline and capped sleeves.

Gimelstob, who retired from professional tennis in 2007, coordinated his look to match as he also sported a pale blue ʙuттon-down shirt paired with his navy suit and muted purple tie. 

Kloots paired her elegant gown with silver, peep-toe heels and a white, rectangular clutch.

She left her long, blonde hair down with soft waves from a fresh blowout and highlighted her natural beauty with a glowy, fresh makeup look. 

At the event, Kloots spoke about her new romance and admitted that its still ‘very new.’

‘It’s been absolutely lovely,’ she said in an interview with People, before noting that they are still ‘courting.’

‘I hope to never leave that stage,’ Gimelstob added. ‘I was admiring her, well before she gave me a sH๏τ.’ 

Then, the pair revealed that they met at a Formula 1 race in Las Vegas but did not go on their first date until a year and a half later after mutual friends set them up. 

‘It kind of happened very naturally, which is great,’ Kloots told the outlet.

The couple gushed about each other with Kloots calling him a ‘wonderful man’ and adding that she adores ‘how he takes care of me.’ 

They also spoke about how they bonded over being single parents. 

Gimelstob is a father to 11-year-old son Brandon while Kloots welcomed her son Elvis, now five, with her late husband in 2019. 

Last year, Kloots said her late husband encouraged her to find love again through readings with mediums. 

Chatting with the outlet, she said that Cordero ‘definitely’ gave her ‘his blessing’ for her to start dating four years after his pᴀssing at age 41 due to COVID-19 complications.

‘He always says it’s coming,’ she said.

‘That’s one of the running themes from readings that I’ve had, that it’s coming. I know you’re lonely. It’s coming. I don’t know. We’ll see.’ 

At the time, she revealed she had been dating ‘for almost three years.’ 

As she embarks on a new romance, she revealed earlier this year that she is still keeping the love she shared with her late husband close to her. 

In February, she said she created ‘something beautiful’ with his ashes and made a diamond ring, which she’ll wear ‘every day.’
