Amanda Kloots, 44, has exclusively confirmed to Page Six that she and former pro tennis player Justin Gimelstob, 49, have broken up after one year of dating.
Speaking Wednesday at the 8th Annual Daytime Beauty Awards, the professional dancer and former “The Talk” co-host confirmed they are no longer together, telling us, “No, not currently, but we’re still very good friends.”
Kloots and Gimelstob made their red carpet debut in April of last year, previously noting that their relationship was still in the “courting phase.”
The fitness entrepreneur, however, hasn’t given up on romance.
“I believe in love. I definitely want that in my life,” she told Page Six.
For now, Kloots said her focus is on raising her 7-year-old son, Elvis, while balancing motherhood with her career.
“Right now I’ve really just been focused on work and Elvis and myself and just making sure I’m the best version of me,” she noted.
Kloots, who shares Elvis with her late husband, Nick Cordero, said the experience has been fulfilling.
“It’s been very good and healing and rewarding, so that’s where I’m at right now.”
Kloots lost her Broadway actor husband, Nick Cordero, in 2020, following his months-long battle with COVID-19. He was just 41 years old.
She shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram at the time, writing: “God has another angel in heaven now. My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”
The two married in 2017, after initially meeting while performing together during “Bullets Over Broadway.”
Kloots was previously was married to actor David Larsen from 2007 until their divorce in 2015.
Kloots has also kept busy professionally, serving as a confidante to Harry Jowsey on Netflix’s “Let’s Marry Harry” and recently launching her new podcast, “Good Grief with Amanda Kloots.”
The Dear Media podcast explores grief, loss, and how to move forward after life-changing experiences, with new episodes dropping Wednesdays.
For now, Kloots remains focused on her son, her career and finding her own way forward, no matter what life serves up.
