Heavy Amanda Kloots redesigned her engagement ring.
Season 30 “Dancing With the Stars” alum Amanda Kloots made a change to her engagement ring. Kloots’ husband, Nick Cordero died in July 2020 following a battle with COVID-19.
On March 27, Kloots uploaded a video in which she shared what she decided to do with the ring that Cordero once gave her.
“Allowing my heart to change! The healing process is an ongoing journey with my stepping stones along the way. I waited awhile to do this one because I was so unsure about changing something so special. However, I didn’t want my ring to not be worn and it didn’t fit on another finger the way it was,” Kloots captioned an Instagram post.
“Finding a new design, a more casual every day design, that fit my life now was tough!!! I was super picky and very nervous to make this big change. When I received my new ring yesterday I cried. It felt like it signified a new chapter for me, another step forward. I love that I decided to make this change when I was ready and I love that the heart that he gave me will always be in mine,” she added.

Amanda Kloots Does Her Best to Keep Nick Cordero’s Memory Alive
As the years go by, Cordero isn’t far from Kloots’ mind. Aside from raising her son Elvis, who she welcomed with Cordero in 2019, Kloots also remembers her husband on special days, such as his birthday.
On March 17, she shared a photo from 2020, just a short time before Cordero ended up getting sick.
“It’s extremely hard for me this time of year to not think back to 2020. This pic was exactly four years ago, right before our lives began to change forever,” she captioned an Instagram post.
“I guess I’m just reminding everyone to love the ones you’re with. Really love them. Appreciate every second you have with them. Remember how quickly something can change. You think you have a lifetime… don’t take it for granted. Don’t be a fool. I was and learned the hardest lesson of all. Love love love to the fullest. Every single day,” she added.
