It's been one year since Broadway star Nick Cordero passed away after a long battle with COVID-19. The Tony-nominated actor-singer — whose three-month hospitalization was chronicled by his wife, "The Talk" co-host Amanda Kloots — was one of the first high-profile names to die after being infected with the coronavirus. On July 5, the widow — who's raising their toddler son, Elvis, as a single mom now — marked the day with a heartfelt post on Instagram. "Today hurts, there is no other way around it. One year ago you left us and became our angel in heaven. You were surrounded by so much love and Led Zeppelin playing on Spotify-no doubt that was your doing, not mine. What happened was unthinkable, losing you was my biggest fear. I used to tell you all the time, 'Don't you dare go anywhere. If I lost you, I don't know what I'd do,'" she wrote alongside a seven-minute video. "There hasn't been a day this year where you weren't missed, thought about and talked about. Thank you for being our guardian angel, for sending me signs, for being my DJ in heaven." Many in Hollywood acknowledged the day on social via their own tributes or with their comments on Amanda's post.
