VIDEO: Amanda Kloots Shares Her 'Ultimate Goal' for Husband Nick Cordero

Broadway actor Nick Cordero is still fighting for his life after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Cordero has spent three months in the hospital, and his wife, Amanda Kloots, says he's still critically ill, even though he is now COVID-negative and no longer in a coma.

In an exclusive interview with Gayle King, Kloots shares why she is holding on to hope and the long-term goal for her husband's recovery.

Kloots tells King that in a perfect world, "Our ultimate, ultimate goal would be to get him to be a candidate for a double lung transplant."

She continues, "We think that that is most likely the possibility, a 99% chance that he would be needing that in order to live the kind of life I know my husband would want to live. That is a long road away and a lot of things would have to line up in order for Nick to be a candidate for that."
