‘We have this beautiful little boy that we created together. I love watching him grow, and I know Nick is watching him too,’ she gushed.
‘Anytime I’m sad, he brightens my mood in two seconds. He looks at me with his big smile and his little teeth, and I’m instantly transported into a different mood.’
She shared that the little tyke has taken after his father, saying: ‘Elvis is just calm and cool. He gets along with everybody. I think that’s very much Nick.’
This Tuesday she posted on Instagram to ring in the bittersweet first anniversary of the day she and Nick first saw her current home in Los Angeles.

Nick had established himself on Broadway and the couple were moving out west as he planned an expansion of his acting career.
‘The first thing we saw when we walked in the door was a picture of Elvis Presley from Jailhouse Rock. It was a sign! We had found our first home,’ she wrote.
‘Nick was so happy, so confident that we would get this home even though we had NOTHING in place and barely enough money to get a mortgage.’
‘We have this beautiful little boy that we created together’: ‘I love watching him grow, and I know Nick is watching him too,’ she gushed.
Amanda recently gave an interview to the New York Times and explained what she hopes Elvis will inherit from his late father.
‘I want our son to be curious because Nick was very curious,’ shared Amanda, a fitness trainer, to the newspaper.
‘I want him to know Nick struggled to make his dreams come true and he never quit. I want him to know his dad was a hard worker,’ she said.

She also announced she is writing a book about Nick’s final health struggle which she documented in real time on social media.
‘Yes, I’m writing a memoir about this time, and I’m writing it with Anna Kloots, my sister. It’s about everything I went through, and about positivity and faith and resilience,’ Amanda told the New York Times.
‘I started writing when I was in Ohio, with my mom and dad, right after Nick passed. I’ve actually found it to be incredibly therapeutic.’
