Amanda Kloots Kicks Off Turning 41, 'Celebrating' Life With Friends & Family In Vegas

Amanda Kloots has reached another milestone and is marking another year of life.

The co-host of CBS's talk show "The Talk" had been through a tough couple of years after losing her husband, Nick Cordero, to COVID-19 in 2020. She decided to celebrate turning a new age in style by enjoying time with her closest friends and family in Las Vegas. 

The author turned 41 on March 19 and commemorated her special day with her loved ones over the weekend in Las Vegas. On Instagram, she posted several moments from the celebration and shared reflections on life following her husband's death.

The first slide featured the TV host showing off her style and moves in a strapless silver metallic mini dress. She danced to the club's music while getting encouragement from her guests before blowing off the candles on her cake. The other images saw the star surrounded by her sister Anna Kloots and close friends as they hugged her and smiled happily at the camera.

In the last picture, they had left the club and stood on the steps leading up to Caesars Palace. Kloots started the caption by partly writing, "It's my birthday! What an absolute blast kicking this new year off with best friends and family in Vegas!"

She also penned a thoughtful note about what she had learned about life, "the importance of celebrating it!" adding, "To be thankful for every day you have on this planet! To sing, dance, and laugh as much as possible, especially on your birthday!" Kloots expressed gratitude towards her friends for the "special birthday time, all the memories and laughs" and concluded with "I love you!"

The beautiful upload buzzed with birthday wishes from friends and fans, including notable names such as Katie Couric, who wrote, "Happy Birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya. Happy birrrrrthdayyyy!!!! 🎂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."

JoAnna Garcia Swisher also noted, "Happy birthday gorgeous girl! Celebration to come when I get to LA!" One of her fans thanked her "for sharing your epic Birthday weekend with all of us! 🎂🥂🎈❤️🎉" while another stated, "Amanda in vegas is the mood we all strive for."

In another post, she shared a video of herself elegantly exiting a car, rocking a baby-blue blazer and shorts set with a sparkling white bandeau and silver strappy heels. She captioned it, "There's nothing like celebrating in this city!"

She seemed to have the time of her life over the weekend-long celebration, which started days before her birthday on Sunday with a themed party by her co-stars on "The Talk." They decided to kick off the celebration early by paying tribute to her Broadway background per The Blast.

To capture the memorable event, she posted a reel on Instagram featuring snippets from the show, including a cake that resembled the iconic Empire State Building, complete with ballerinas in different poses and appearances by renowned theater personalities such as Kathrine Foster.

Alongside the clip, she wrote, "Yesterday the @thetalkcbs spoiled me rotten with an early birthday celebration all Broadway themed!" She thanked the crew and cast for making her "feel so special" and the special guests before stating, "I do love a birthday party!!!"

The fitness enthusiast started her musical career as a chorus girl and dancer and swiftly gained widespread recognition over the years. Despite her achievements, Kloots continues to remind herself where she started to appreciate her journey to success. 

The Blast noted that the actress did this by visiting her old college dorm apartment building, which she shared on her page. In the image posted on Instagram, she sat in front of the building on its steps dressed casually in a black colored coat, a white shirt, and dark pants and paired the look with white shoes.

She began the caption by pointing out how nostalgic she felt returning to New York. She recalled how the college dorm apartment building was the first place she lived after making the significant move at eighteen to the Big Apple.  

She noted, "I thought about all the times I left this building singing musical theater songs or running scenes in my head on my way to class in hopes that one day I'd be in a Broadway show! 'If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere.'"
