Wife of Broadway star Nick Cordero told to ‘say goodbye’ amid COVID-19 battle

The wife of a Broadway star who has been battling coronavirus for months has revealed she’s been told to “say goodbye” to her husband.

Amanda Kloots says she’s been told to say goodbye to husband Nick Cordero amid his two-month battle with COVID-19 but has faith he’ll pull through.

“I’ve been told a couple times that he won’t make it. I’ve been told to say goodbye. I’ve been told it would take a miracle. Well, I have faith,” Kloots, 38, posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

“Faith that is small as a mustard seed sometimes, but that is all you need sometimes.”

In April, the 41-year-old Broadway star was hospitalised at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles with a suspected coronavirus infection. He had to have his right leg amputated due to complications from the virus and has been on a ventilator for weeks. Cordero recently suffered a setback with a lung infection.

Kloots said: “He’s still here and despite his odds gets slightly, slightly better every day. Where there is faith, there is hope. Where there is hope, there can be a miracle! Like my dad has said since day one, every day he’s still with us is a miracle. I believe God is with us, with the doctors and with Nick.”

Cordero is best known for starring in the 2014 musical Bullets Over Broadway in the role of Cheech, for which he was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical.
