The second part of the message narrated a story from her younger days about growing up in his household and how he would step in to solve their silky fights using the Bible. She continued writing:

"By the time we were half way through the verse the fight was over and we'd be hugging instead. He taught us very early on the importance of love and I'm forever grateful. ❤️ Happy Birthday Daddy!"

A third fan who lost their father advised the loving daughter to "enjoy every moment." "He sounds like an amazing man and role model for Elvis too! Happy Birthday to him' ??," a fourth fan wrote.

The birthday message for her father naturally gives the idea that the dancer comes from a loving family. The Kloots family consists of herself, four other siblings, including Anna and Todd, and her parents, Freddie and Maureen. 

Amanda's parents loved and supported her throughout her life; the fantastic parents never missed her big moments, attending most of her DWTS performances and sitting in the audience of her show. They are committed to their grandson and would take time off to spend quality time with him.

Amanda Kloots Criticized For Not Grieving Enough

It has been a trying period for the fitness instructor since losing her husband, Nick Cordero, in 2020 due to COVID-19 complications. Sadly, late last month, the talk show host's life was upended again when she learned her mother-in-law Lesley Cordero had died. 

However, according to a previous report by The Blast, some people questioned how she grieved her death, but she quickly addressed the situation.

Soon after the actress announced the unexpected passing of Lesley, thanking her for her impact on her and her grandson Elvis, people expected to see her crying for a while. Therefore, when she opted to go dancing, a critic questioned her motive and demanded she stops dancing to focus on mourning her mother-in-law.

In responding to the DM sent by the entitled follower, the 40-year-old decided to educate the user, writing:

"A very powerful thing I've learned through grief is what I need to do for myself to release the pain- what helps me to process the trauma so it doesn't stay stuck. One thing I do is workout and the other @dancingwiththestars really helped me realize, dance. Dancing every day during that show released stored pain that I didn't even know I still had in my body."
