Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Amanda Kloots is one of 15 celebrities who have joined the cast of Dancing With The Stars’ 30th season.

The author, TV personality, and fitness entrepreneur will compete for the mirrorball trophy when the new season begins on Monday (20 September).

Kloots is currently a co-host of the talk-show The Talk on CBS.

In March this year, she also released a memoir titled Live Your Life: My Story of Loving and Losing Nick Cordero, which she co-wrote with her sister Anna Kloots, after her husband Nick Cordero died of Covid-19 in 2020.

Cordero, a Tony-nominated Broadway performer, died on 5 July 2020 at the age of 41 after being treated for more than 90 days in the hospital.

Kloots has publicly shared her experiences with grief and has continued to honour Cordero’s memory in her writing and on social media.

Kloots lives in Los Angeles with her and Cordero’s son Elvis, who turned two in June this year.

A former Broadway dancer and Radio City Rockette, Kloots has also had a career as a fitness instructor and entrepreneur.
