One year ago we announced that Elvis was on his way and one year later we bought our first home!! Los Angeles you won us over! We are home owners! There is so much to be thankful for! ⠀ It was an absolute dream come true. Nick and I had been looking at homes in Laurel Canyon for years, laying in bed searching Zillow listings before we would fall asleep. When we saw an open house one Sunday for a home located on the famous “Love Street,” we had to go see it! The first thing I saw when we walked in was a picture of Elvis Presley… I knew it was meant to be! With the help of @mollyetuttle , @zachbraff and the BEST realtors @canyonhaus we closed yesterday! ⠀ There are definitely some things we want to do and renovations needed so if anyone has recommendations please leave them in the comments section!! Nick and I are new to this and we need all the help we can get. We really want to make our new home special but keep those cozy canyon vibes!

In November 2019, the family of three found their first home together in L.A. on Love Street, which is fitting considering they clearly had a whole lot of love for each other.

“Our first family photo in our new home, before we start renovations,” Kloots captioned a photo of her with Cordero and Elvis in their empty home. “We walked in yesterday for the first time feeling so incredibly grateful. I’ve been told you never forget your first home. It’s where Elvis will take his first steps and say his first words ?”

Nearly a month after losing her husband, Kloots opened up in an Instagram post.

“Every day, as I process this loss more and more, I realize new things that are hitting me on a daily basis. Today it was that I lost our family. I lost my husband. Elvis lost his father, but today I realized we lost our family. We didn’t really even get to be a family. We won’t have those memories that I dreamed of since Elvis was born. This hit me hard. It stung like a horrible bug bite actually. The pain of everything has recently begun to stop me in my tracks. I’ll be doing something and I freeze, unable to think or move. My gut aches, it actually aches deeper than I ever knew it could.” 

She added that she hoped to help others who can relate to her story, writing, ” If anyone else feels this pain, you are not alone. Grieving is a journey we all do differently. Talking about it when I have the strength is helping me. I don’t always have the strength, sometimes I can’t talk at all. There are no answers. There is no right or wrong. I can only allow myself the time and the process and be honest with that.”

After Cordero’s passing, Kloots captioned a photo of them on what was the one year anniversary of their move to L.A. She wrote, “One year ago today we moved to California. We were so excited for this new adventure. We had arrived in LA the day before his birthday and thought what a way to kick off your 41st year.”

Kloots continued, “I’ve done this my whole life- I think ‘one year ago’ or ‘6 months ago’ … I’m finding that I do it even more now because I can’t believe how much can and has changed in just one year. Everything is completely different. My life is so different. Elvis has grown so much and is completely different.”

Kloots captioned a sweet photo of Cordero with Elvis on July 22, 2020, three weeks after his death, “My men in fantasyland one year ago. ?”

She added, “Hug your loved ones tight and be grateful for everyday. Time is precious.”

Our last family photo before Nick got sick. What this man has gone through! Nick is 41 years old. He had no pre-existing health conditions. We do not know how he got COVID-19 but he did. He went to the ER on March 30th and intubated on a ventilator on April 1. Since then has he has suffered an infection that caused his heart to stop, he needed resuscitation, he had two mini strokes, went on ECMO, went on dialysis, needed surgery to removal an ECMO cannula that was restricting blood flow to his leg, a faciatomy to relieve pressure on the leg, an amputation of his right leg, an MRI to further investigate brain damage, several bronchial sweeps to clear out his lungs, a septis infection causing septic shock, a fungus in his lungs, holes in his lungs, a tracheostomy, blood clots, low blood count and platelet levels, and a temporary pacemaker to assist his heart. He has spent 38 days now in the ICU. This disease does not only effect old people. This is real. A perfectly healthy 41 year old man! Bring awareness to his story. STAY HOME! FOLLOW GUIDELINES! This journey with Nick has been the hardest thing we’ve ever had to go through. I ask God for a miracle and my Dad reminded me that God is answering my prayer everyday because he is still with us! Nick is a fighter and has not given up. His doctors and nurses have been truly incredible. Thank you @cedarssinai ❤️ We will get our CODE ROCKY! #wakeupnick

On Sept. 17, 2020, what would have been her husband’s 42nd birthday, Kloots shared photos from the Broadway star’s last birthday. 

“My angel in heaven is celebrating his birthday today,” Kloots began her post. “Happy 42nd Birthday baby ? I bet you’re having quite the celebration up there, probably singing to everyone. Elvis and I will be singing here on earth to you ❤️

She shared, “These pics and videos were from our party last year at our friends home in Laurel Canyon. It could not have been a more perfect party for him. He was at his favorite bar with his favorite friends in Laurel Canyon, his dream come true. Right after he blew out his candles I remember him saying, ‘Come on! I’m so blessed!'”

She concluded the caption, “I love you with all my heart. Happy Birthday ?”
