Amanda Kloots got quite the Mother’s Day treat when 23-month-old son Elvis stopped by her show The Talk on Friday.
The fitness pro, 39, was thrilled to see her little dude as he gave his mom a bouquet of flowers during his very first TV appearance ever.
It was a touching moment, as Elvis made his entrance with late father’s Nick Cordero’s song Live Your Life playing in the background.
Pure joy! Amanda Kloots was thrilled when her son Elvis, almost two, visited her on the set of The Talk for the Mother’s Day episode on Friday
The little guy looked cute as can be donning a tiny white suit and a pink bowtie while running into his mom’s arm’s.
The radiant talk show host picked up Elvis and cooed into his ear as her castmates clapped and smiled.
After returning to her seat with her little boy on her lap, Amanda said: ‘You guys, I can’t believe he actually just did that.’
Elvis got his own gift from the hosts: a toy dump truck and cute The Talk footsie pajamas.

But the fun didn’t stop there, as Amanda’s team began to play a message from Gayle King and the characters of Sesame Street, who told the star she was doing amazing raising Elvis on her own. The duo also got an invite to visit Sesame Street.
Kloots has been a beacon of positivity since losing her husband Nick to COVID-19 last year. The Broadway star was only 41.
But the star admitted she is still mourning the loss of her love, previously telling her co-hosts she still ‘cries every day’ over his death.
‘A lot of people have said to me, ‘It gets easier (and) time helps’, and I don’t know if I found that yet,’ said Amanda.

Grieving: Kloots recently admitted she still cries every day, even though its almost been a year since Nick’s death
The actress continued, ‘I still pretty much cry every day. It’s growing pains.’
The new co-host of The Talk admits that ‘every day is different’ but that she is ‘doing everything I possibly can to stay healthy and active and happy’.
Amanda says she is unsure if time will be able to heal her sense of grief but admits that having the tools to cope with the loss makes things easier.
She told UsWeekly magazine: ‘I think it gets easier because you learn tools to help yourself. And in the beginning, you don’t know those tools yet.’
The TV personality confessed there are moments, especially as she sees Elvis growing up, where the loss of Nick hits even harder.
Staying positive: She admitted that ‘every day is different’ but that she is ‘doing everything I possibly can to stay healthy and active and happy’. She shared an image of herself with Nick in South Africa on her Instagram in March 2021
Amanda said: ‘With Elvis, like there’s so many things that he does or there’s times in life that you just wish your person was there to celebrate with.
‘And I think that that’s where it’s harder because you miss your person so much.’
Kloots previously opened up on social media about the ‘beyond surreal and horrible’ experience of collecting her husband’s ashes.
She wrote at the time: ‘It was beyond surreal and horrible. But they’re in my possession and a good friend of mine said some beautiful advice: ‘look at it as you have him with you now’. Which is really a nice way of looking at it, which is true.’
