Gimelstob shared with Parade that he had been eager to meet Kloots for some time after first seeing her at an F1 event a few years ago. Although connecting was initially challenging, the two were eventually introduced through mutual friends. Their bond deepened through casual tennis games, where, according to Gimelstob, Kloots made it clear she was focused solely on the sport at first. Their relationship later blossomed naturally, particularly as they reconnected during the Los Angeles fires.
Kloots, formerly a co-host on The Talk, had been open about her grief following Cordero’s death in 2020 from COVID-19 complications after a lengthy hospitalization. The couple shared a son, Elvis Eduardo, who Kloots proudly noted is nearly finished with kindergarten.
Now blending their families, Kloots shared that Gimelstob’s older son and her son Elvis have formed a positive connection, describing the experience as “lovely” and emphasizing the joy she finds in her son’s growth.
