Amanda Kloots and Justin Gimelstob have called it quits. Kloots, 44, confirmed the news to Page Six, sharing that she and the former tennis player, 49, ended their relationship after just over a year of dating. The two first went public in April 2025 at a cancer awareness event in Beverly Hills.
Even though the romance is over, Kloots says the friendship is very much alive.“No, not currently, but we’re still very good friends,”she said. That’s a pretty refreshing way to close a chapter, especially in a world where celebrity breakups usually come with subtweets and cryptic Instagram stories.
Right now, Kloots says her attention is on her work, her seven-year-old son Elvis, and herself. And when it comes to the future, she’s keeping the door open:“I believe in love. I definitely want that in my life.”After losing her late husband Nick Cordero in 2020, that outlook says a lot about where she is now.
