Caitlyn Jenner says there's a 'simple' solution to end the WNBA's trans athlete debate

Caitlyn Jenner reacted to how the WNBA has navigated its latest controversy over whether transgender athletes would be eligible to play in the league.

The WNBA has lacked clarity on whether a transgender athlete would be able to play in the league. In the midst of it all, former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White each launched bids to get into the WNBA.

Jenner appeared on "Fox News @ Night" with Trace Gallagher and said there was a "simple" conclusion to the ordeal.

"They’re showing the hypocrisy of what’s going on out there in the WNBA," Jenner said of Kanter and White. "The WNBA had their meetings on this issue and Cathy (Engelbert), the head, says, ‘We talked about the trans issue but we just haven’t come up with a conclusion at this point. We will continue the conversation.’ Cathy, XX, you’re in. XY you’re out. It’s that simple.

"And both these guys I think are doing a good job just to show the WNBA the hypocrisy that’s going on here. We have to protect women’s sports … I want to protect women’s sports. Title IX was one of the greatest legislations for women’s equality – that happened to be in sports."

The WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement’s Article XIII, Section 1(a) states: "Only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA." But as OutKick/Fox News Digital previously reported, the 409-page agreement never defines "woman" or "women." The terms "transgender" and "gender identity" don’t appear anywhere in the document.

The CBA contains detailed definitions for dozens of other terms. Yet the agreement doesn’t define the word that determines who may play in the league.

A WNBA spokesperson said a meeting was held on a "wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online." The league said it "strongly" denounces "bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others."

Karoline Leavitt's replacement as press secretary faces 'critical' test as midterms loom, Trump advisor says

President Donald Trump's senior political advisor James Blair praised departing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for her time in the West Wing while warning on Saturday that her successor will face scrutiny for filling such a critical messaging role as the midterm elections approach.

Blair said the next press secretary would be under a "microscope" given that Leavitt's time in office "cemented her as maybe the best press secretary we've ever had."

"She was just really tremendous. And she had a connection with the president that is hard to develop," he said during "My View." "She understood him and understood the way he wanted to tell the American people his message, and she did it with honor and loyalty."

SCRAMBLE FOR KAROLINE LEAVITT'S REPLACEMENT ENSUES WITH JUST WEEKS UNTIL TRUMP'S SPOKESPERSON EXITS

"I think she's a really hard act to follow. I don't envy the next person, but it is a critical job."

Whoever takes the podium next will need to work hard to disseminate President Trump's message "in the face of a very hostile press that doesn't want to tell the story about the great work Republicans have done for the last two years," he continued.

Blair's assessment comes as messaging surrounding midterms ramps up across the country.

Republicans currently hold narrow majorities in both chambers of Congress, controlling the House with a razor-thin 218-212 edge, with one independent and four vacancies, and the Senate with a 53-47 advantage, including two independents who caucus with Democrats.

100 DAY SPRINT TO THE MIDTERMS KICKS OFF AS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CLASH FOR CONTROL ACROSS THE COUNTRY

With every House seat and 35 Senate seats on the ballot, Democrats need a net gain of just six House seats to reclaim the speaker's gavel and four Senate seats to win back the upper chamber, making even a handful of competitive races capable of reshaping the balance of power in Washington.

WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS WIDELY PRAISE KAROLINE LEAVITT AS SHE ANNOUNCES EXIT

Still, Blair expressed optimism that the GOP would retain its congressional majorities, saying the election comes down to "mainstream Republicans versus extreme liberal Democrats."

Democrats want to raise taxes, abolish police and prisons and grant amnesty to every illegal immigrant in America, he said, including the violent criminals.

The only map you need to see as California's billionaire tax fight heats up

California voters are set to decide whether to slap a new tax on the state's billionaires as IRS data show thousands of taxpayers, and billions of dollars in income, are already flowing out of the Golden State.

The outflow is adding fuel to the debate over California's proposed billionaire tax, with Mark Cuban warning Saturday the measure could drive not only wealthy residents but investment and startups out of the state.

Cuban's warning came amid a heated back-and-forth with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who has defended the proposed tax. The billionaire investor threatened to steer future investments away from California if the measure moves forward.

The clash comes as California is already experiencing significant taxpayer outflows, according to the latest IRS data compiled from federal tax returns.

AMERICA'S TOP DESTINATION FOR NEW TAXPAYERS IS QUIETLY GETTING POORER, IRS DATA REVEALS

Los Angeles County, home to Hollywood and one of the nation's largest economic engines, led the nation in taxpayer losses, with a net 17,496 tax filers leaving for other states. Those departing taxpayers took nearly $1.9 billion in income with them.

Other California counties also saw significant outflows. Orange County recorded a net loss of 11,618 tax filers, followed by San Diego County with 9,401, Riverside County with 8,968 and San Bernardino County with 8,462.

The movement of taxpayers and their income can affect state and local tax collections that help fund schools, public safety and infrastructure.

AMERICANS KEEP MOVING TO TEXAS AND FLORIDA — BUT ONE OTHER RED STATE IS GROWING EVEN FASTER

Against that backdrop, California's proposed billionaire tax has become a flashpoint in the debate over whether the state's tax policies could push more wealth and investment elsewhere.

The proposed ballot initiative, backed by the Service Employees International Union, would impose a one-time 5% wealth tax on Californians with a net worth exceeding $1 billion.

The measure, which has qualified for the November ballot, would apply retroactively to Californians who were residents as of Jan. 1, 2026.

Supporters argue the tax would generate billions of dollars for healthcare and education, while critics warn it could drive wealth and investment out of California.

Cuban has gone further, arguing the measure could influence not only where billionaires live, but where investors put their money and startups do business.

AN OVERLOOKED RED STATE QUIETLY BUILT ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST COMPETITIVE TAX SYSTEMS

"If this passes, and it doesn't directly impact me at all, I won't be a Cali resident, but you can bet if I'm investing in a multi billion dollar startup, I'm asking them to move from California first," Cuban wrote.

He went even further, adding, "IMO, if this passes, only idiot startup founders stay in Cali."

DNC chair denies reports about staff 'paranoia,' chaos, but even MS NOW host is skeptical

Democratic National Committee Chair (DNC) Ken Martin denied Saturday that he presided over a paranoid workplace at the party's Washington headquarters — where he'd allegedly even been hit with an HR complaint — prompting MS NOW hosts to question why the allegations were emerging from inside the organization.

Martin was pressed about the alleged HR complaint for throwing a phone at a staffer's desk and reports that employees had become fearful of leaks and decisions he allegedly made in isolation. Martin denied the reporting and praised the DNC’s employees.

"Multiple sources also described a growing sense of paranoia inside DNC headquarters under your leadership and that the staff had become afraid of leaks and decisions that you were making in isolation," MS NOW co-host Jacqueline Alemany said at one point.

"Well, the reporting is not accurate, but what I would say is every day when I go into the DNC, what I see is a staff that works extremely hard," Martin said. "They’re working overtime. I’m usually the first one in, the last one to leave."

Martin dismissed the "noise on the outside" and said Democrats were focused on winning in November, when Democrats are hoping to win back Congress to stifle the Trump White House.

DNC CHAIR KEN MARTIN THREW PHONE AT AIDE'S DESK, FACED HR COMPLAINT IN SIGN OF 'FRAYING NERVES': REPORT

"But to be fair, Mr. Chairman, some of this noise is coming from the inside, right?" co-anchor Eugene Daniels asked.

Martin said he did not know why the allegations were coming from inside the DNC before shifting to voters’ economic concerns.

"You know, I don’t know, but as I travel across the country, Eugene, what I hear from the American people, they’re not focused on any of that," Martin said.

The New York Times cited six people familiar with the alleged phone incident, although none witnessed it firsthand. Accounts differed over how forcefully Martin threw the device, but the newspaper reported that it landed on the aide's desk while Martin reprimanded the staffer and led to a human resources complaint.

SLOTKIN SAYS DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS 'NEW LEADERSHIP': 'OLD MODELS ARE NO LONGER WORKING'

NOTUS separately reported that the phone did not strike the aide but left several staffers shaken. Martin apologized to the aide during an HR meeting the following business day, according to the outlet.

The reports followed a May meeting in which Martin allegedly expressed anger about information leaking from DNC headquarters. Fox News Digital reported that members of the party’s leadership team were asked to sign nondisclosure agreements before a meeting about the committee’s finances.

The internal tensions emerged as the DNC faced a steep financial disadvantage ahead of the 2026 midterms. Federal Election Commission filings showed the committee ended June with $16.3 million in cash and $18.5 million in debt, compared with the Republican National Committee's $128.5 million in cash and no debt. The DNC had also drawn $15 million from a credit line secured in part by its headquarters.

JAMES CARVILLE RAGES OVER FAILURE BY DNC TO RELEASE 2024 POLITICAL AUTOPSY, CALLS IT 'TOO STUPID FOR WORDS'

Rufus Gifford, a former Biden deputy campaign manager and Obama-era DNC finance director, previously pointed to the internal leaks as evidence that employees had lost confidence in Martin's leadership.

"The leaks coming from inside the building streaming across every media outlet say to me that the (diligent and wonderful) staff are losing or have lost faith," Gifford said.

Martin defended the committee’s spending strategy in a July Substack, claiming the party was investing its money in staff, organizing, technology and state parties.

"But a party is not a savings account," Martin said. "Its purpose is to build power."

Fox News Digital reached out to the DNC for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

From Disney magic to ancient faith: David Henrie on why Gen Z is flocking to church

Disney star David Henrie has been encouraged to see a rise in young people attending church over the years and believes it's a sign of a deeper cultural shift of younger generations turning to God.

"I'm seeing it everywhere. Every time I go to Mass, there's more and more young people," he told Fox News Digital.

The Catholic actor, who rose to fame playing Justin Russo on the Disney Channel’s "Wizards of Waverly Place," said he believes young adults are returning to the faith after finding emptiness in worldly distractions. Years ago, Henrie experienced his own spiritual awakening.

JD VANCE REVEALS WHAT DREW HIM BACK TO GOD AFTER SEEING CHRISTIANS HAD LIFE ‘FIGURED OUT’

"I've seen it coming. I was one of those people who was not living a Christian life and then suddenly found the world was completely empty and was searching for something other worldly," Henrie said. "That's why I think you're seeing kids flock to the faith right now. It's because they're tired of the world."

Catholic leaders across the U.S. have reported sharp increases in the number of adult converts. A recent Gallup poll also found that 42% of young men now say religion is "very important" in their lives, a 14 percentage point jump from the previous year.

Henrie believes young people are seeking a specific form of faith rooted in tradition and history.

"You know, I'm Catholic, I always say like, they want 'Lord of the Rings Catholicism,'" Henrie said. "You know, they want bells, smells, ancient expressions of the liturgy. That's where the young people are flocking right now. That's why you're seeing the Latin Mass booming."

COUNTRY STAR TYLER HUBBARD SAYS ‘THE CHOSEN’ BROUGHT THE BIBLE TO LIFE FOR HIS FAMILY

The actor recently wrapped filming for his faith-based travel series "Seeking Beauty," on EWTN+, as well as his return to Disney for "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place." He is also set to release a faith-based children's book this fall, co-written with his wife, Maria.

The picture book, titled "Is God Bigger Than a Dragon?" turns a curious child's questions about God into spiritual lessons. Henrie said his young son inspired the project.

"[He] is very inquisitive, and he asks great questions, and he's trying to understand God," Henrie said. "So from a 4-year-old, trying to understand God sounds like this: 'Papa, is God bigger than a dragon? Is God bigger than New York City? Is God bigger than a killer whale?'... And so he just kept asking all these great questions, and eventually it was like, I need to make this into a kid's book."

Henrie said the picture book uses a question-and-response format and is geared for children ages 2 to 8. It pairs rhyming answers with Scripture references on every page and ends by encouraging parents to revisit the Bible verses with their kids for further study.

The father of three, who is expecting his fourth child this month, said he and his wife feel it is important to foster faith in their children from an early age and help them tackle their big questions about God.

After reading the book, he hopes kids take away "a greater understanding of God's love, God's care, and just how powerful He is and how powerful he can be in their lives."

"Is God Bigger Than a Dragon?" published by Ascension Press, is available for preorder and is expected to be released on Nov. 10.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Former Sen Kyrsten Sinema fights affair lawsuit invoking centuries-old marriage tort

Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is continuing to challenge the lawsuit brought by the wife of her former security guard and lover, Matthew Ammel. Sinema has admitted to having an affair with Ammel while she was the Democratic senator from Arizona. Heather Ammel’s lawsuit alleges the tort of alienation of affection, an action many may find outdated in our more open or indulgent culture. I start teaching my torts class this week, and the alienation tort remains a controversy at the intersection of tort and constitutional law.

There was a time when most states had morality crimes that punished adultery or homosexuality. They have been largely scrubbed from our books due to constitutional challenges and changing social mores. However, a spouse can still sue civilly over a third party ruining a marriage through adultery.

Such "heart balm" actions go back to the earliest days of tort liability. However, the tort has been abolished in 42 states, leaving Hawaii, North Carolina, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah as the exceptions.

COURT FILINGS REVEAL KYRSTEN SINEMA HAD SEX MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MARRIED BODYGUARD WHILE SERVING AS SENATOR

Early tort cases spoke of two violative acts: enticement and seduction. The tort of enticement "involved assisting or inducing a wife to leave her husband by means of fraud, violence, or persuasion." Seduction was more straightforward and only required "an adulterous relationship between the plaintiff’s spouse and the defendant."

Critics have long charged that this tort is based on early concepts of the wife being the property of the husband and that there are lingering constitutional questions over holding individuals liable for consensual sexual relationships.

That proprietary element echoes in some of the earliest English cases, such as Winsmore v. Greenback in 1745. In that case, a man was sued for "maliciously and wickedly intending to injure the plaintiff… and to alienate the affection of the wife from the plaintiff." The court found that the paramour had "persuaded procured and enticed the said wife" and thereby denied the husband of his "exclusive and legally enforceable right to his wife’s service." Winsmore v. Greenbank, Willes 577. 125 Eng. Repts. 1330 (1745)); see also Michele Crissman, Alienation of Affection: An Ancient Tort – But Still Alive in South Dakota, 48 S.D. L. Rev. 518, 519 (2003); Jamie Heard, The National Trend of Abolishing Actions for the Alienation of a Spouse’s Affection and Mississippi’s Refusal to Follow Suit, 28 Miss. C. L. Rev. 313 (2008-2009).

State courts have found the action to be outmoded and abused:

North Carolina is one of the holdouts. Sinema’s counsel moved the case to federal court and then sought to dismiss it on the jurisdictional grounds that none of the sex occurred in North Carolina.

In depositions, Sinema confirmed sexual encounters beginning in California at the home of her friends Penny and Grant Croissant: "We were staying at an Airbnb in Napa, California. We were outside. Matt kissed me. We went inside and had sex."

She also detailed having sex with Ammel at the wedding of CNN anchor Jessica Dean in New York City as well as at her Washington, D.C., apartment, in Arizona, and in Colorado.

The jurisdictional question is whether the denial of sex in North Carolina means that the courts there lack jurisdiction, as opposed to the claim that the shattered marriage, and injury, still rests in North Carolina.

The parties do not contest the underlying violation of the marriage. The case is rife with photos, including one sent by Sinema of herself in a towel, and such messages as: "Putting my hand on your heart. I’ll see you soon. I miss you."

COURT FILINGS REVEAL KYRSTEN SINEMA HAD SEX MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MARRIED BODYGUARD WHILE SERVING AS SENATOR

The wife eventually uncovered the affair after Ammel allegedly came home intoxicated, and she found a message on his phone from Sinema reading, "I hope your day was okay. Thinking of you. I am with you. I keep waking up during my sleep and reaching over for your arms to hold me."

Heather Ammel would write to her husband to encourage him to break off the affair, calling Sinema "insidious" and "a woman who is willing to break up a family."

After separating on Nov. 1, 2024, the couple divorced in March 2026. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 19.

While the Supreme Court struck down the criminalization of same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges and consensual sex between adults is viewed as protected, it has never found alienation torts to be unconstitutional.

The tort liability presents a novel and different question. Unlike the criminalization of consensual sexual relationships, this tort addresses the harm of conduct to a third person. Heather Ammel had a marriage contract and relied on it as the foundation for her home and family with multiple children.

Many today would argue that her husband and his deceit caused the harm, not the third party. If a spouse violates their solemn oath of matrimony, the loss of affection is likely due to a breakdown in the marriage, not the third party. The action still has a proprietary element: the "other man" or "other woman" poached a partner who legally belongs to you.

However, the question is whether such "heart balm" injuries remain within the right of states to recognize and allow citizens to recover for. It is technically not a punishment for adultery with the other person, but alienation or harm to the spouse.

Ironically, the case, and any challenges, could represent one of the most lasting legacies of Sinema’s career. The question is not whether her actions were "wicked and malicious" under the common law, but whether you can be sued today for such conduct.

Other torts have changed in light of evolving social values, such as defamation actions that were once based on statements that a woman is "unchaste."

While courts have struck down or eliminated morality laws on constitutional grounds, alienation of affection remains a lingering morality tort with strong religious underpinnings. In Proverbs 11:18, the Bible states, "The wicked man does deceptive work, but righteousness brings a sure reward."

The question is whether a "righteous" litigant can still recover from the "wickedness" of others.

Lexington, Kentucky park shooting kills 1, injures 4 during live band performance

One person was killed and four victims were injured in a mass shooting at an outdoor concert in Kentucky on Saturday.

The shooting took place in Lexington and was barely a mile away from an event where Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was holding a Kentucky Democratic Party dinner.

Authorities say two of the victims injured were children ages 14 and 4, while the other two injured were adults. All four were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

"Before I continue, I do need to let y’all know we do have some tough news tonight," Beshear said at his event after hearing of the shooting.

"About a mile and a half from here, we’ve had a shooting actually since we started this dinner," he continued.

"We have five people that I think received injuries and probably have one deceased," he added before assuring diners that the situation had been resolved.

"To stop mass shootings, we have got to elect Democrats that will actually do something about it," Beshear said.

Authorities say the shooting took place at around 6:45 p.m. in Charles Young Park. They did not offer any details about the victims, the deceased person or a suspect.

VIRGINIA STATE UNIVERSITY SHOOTING SUSPECT FOUND HIDING IN DORM CLOSET ARRESTED

No arrests have been made in the case as of Sunday morning, but police say there is no threat to the public.

"If you know somebody who might be inclined to use a weapon, please do anything you can do to let us know before something happens. Please let us know," Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said at a press conference.

The incident came on the heels of another mass shooting at Virginia State University on Saturday morning.

That attack left five people injured, and police arrested 19-year-old suspect Camron Harris in connection with the case.

NFL rookie leaves team to pursue acting opportunity

The Cincinnati Bengals signed defensive back Ceyair Wright as an undrafted free agent in April after he played college football at Nebraska.

Wright’s passion for football appeared to collide with a different career off the field – acting. The Bengals announced that Wright had left the team "to pursue other opportunities" and was placed on the Exempt/Left Squad.

Dan Hoard, the radio voice of the Bengals, wrote on X that Wright left the team to pursue television and film opportunities. Bengals head coach Zac Taylor reacted to Wright’s departure.

"I don’t know how to properly define it for him. He called us last night and let us know that he had an opportunity," Taylor said. "I know it was a difficult decision for him. I think two things he’s really passionate about were colliding and he decided to pursue this opportunity. So, he’s a great kid, comes from a great university.

"We wish him the best. He was fun to be around. He really competed hard for us. It was fun watching him play. I thought he was ascending as a player. But, obviously, he’s chosen to go a different path."

Wright has acting credits to his name.

He played LeBron James’ son in the movie "Space Jam: A New Legacy." IMDb also credits Wright for a role in "Training Day." He also made appearances in the television sit-coms "Grown-ish" and "2 Broke Girls."

The Bengals signed Matthew McDoom as a replacement for Wright.

'Tony' Review: Anthony Bourdain's coming-of-age story unfolds in charming dramedy

"I was — to be frank — a spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive and thoughtless young lout, and badly in need of a good ass-kicking." 

That was how the late celebrity chef, author and travel host Anthony Bourdain described himself in his book "Kitchen Confidential." And it sets the tone for A24's new film, "Tony." 

Set in the summer of 1975, aspiring 19-year-old New Jersey writer Tony (played by "The Holdovers" breakout star Dominic Sessa) is applying for a prestigious fellowship, something his big ego believes he has in the bag — until he doesn't. 

‘ONE NIGHT ONLY’ REVIEW: MONICA BARBARO AND CALLUM TURNER CHARM IN HIGH-CONCEPT ROM-COM

After already telling his parents he had landed the fellowship, Tony instead heads to Cape Cod to chase a girl he's been obsessed with, Nancy ("CODA" star Emilia Jones), to whom he boasted about his ill-fated career prospects. And like the fellowship, he thinks he can easily woo Nancy — except he learns the hard way she isn't even available. 

Desperate for money and a place to stay, Tony is at the mercy of a man simply known as Chef (Antonio Banderas), who runs a tiny lobster joint in Provincetown, tasking Tony to wash dishes. 

‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ REVIEW: TOM HOLLAND, ZENDAYA RETURN FOR ACTION-PACKED, EMOTIONAL SEQUEL

It's certainly a clash of personalities between the care-free Tony and the no-nonsense Chef. But little does Tony realize how much his life would change simply by working in Chef's kitchen.

It's becoming increasingly difficult for comedic directors to break through and join an elite group of active filmmakers that includes Judd Apatow ("40-Year-Old Virgin," "Knocked Up"), Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids," "Spy") and Phil Lord and Christopher Miller ("21 Jump Street," "Project Hail Mary"). Making the case for himself is Matt Johnson. 

'THE ODYSSEY' REVIEW: CHRISTOPHER NOLAN GOES EPIC WITH HIS MOST AMBITIOUS FILM TO DATE

Johnson, a Canadian comedic actor who directed, wrote and starred in 2023's underrated "BlackBerry" and the hilarious mockumentary "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" released earlier this year, is back in the director's chair and co-wrote the film with Matthew Miller, Todd Bartels and Lou Howe. They strike a balance that showcases Bourdain's unique sense of humor while grappling with his personal struggles he had even at an early age.

Sessa continues to impress as he's able to make us laugh, make us think he's a jerk and tug at our heartstrings all at once, perfectly capturing Bourdain's spirit. And Banderas gives his best performance in years as Tony's hard-nosed boss and mentor, providing some of the film's funniest moments and even the most moving. 

'THE INVITE' REVIEW: SETH ROGEN, OLIVIA WILDE HOST ONE HILARIOUS DINNER PARTY YOU WON'T REGRET ATTENDING

"Tony" is a charming coming-of-age dramedy that gives a glimpse as to how Anthony Bourdain became the man the world came to love — and his biggest fans should certainly be delighted. Sessa and Banderas shine onscreen while Johnson excels behind the camera, extending his impressive streak as a promising comedic filmmaker. 

"Tony" is rated R for pervasive language, drug use, and sexual content/nudity. Running time: 1 hour, 46 minutes. In theaters now.

Amanda Kloots confronts biggest misconception about dating after losing a spouse

Amanda Kloots is challenging a common misconception about dating after losing a spouse — that moving forward means leaving the person you lost behind.

Kloots, who lost her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, to COVID-19 in 2020, said widows and widowers can face judgment when they begin opening their hearts to someone new — even though grief and love don't simply disappear when a new relationship begins.

AMANDA KLOOTS HONORS LATE HUSBAND NICK CORDERO IN NEW MEMOIR, SAYS HE ‘TRULY JUST LOVED LIFE’

"The heart can hold a lot of love," Kloots said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And just because I'm dating again or any widow or widower is dating again, it doesn't mean that you don't love your person that you lost still or any less."

"It’s in fact more," the "Good Grief" podcast host shared.

Kloots isn't asking people to believe that grief disappears.

She's asking them to acknowledge that it doesn't have to prevent someone from living.

"I have many compartments in my heart for love and new relationships," she said. "It's like having more children. It doesn't mean you… love your child less… now [that] you have a new child. Your heart is able to hold many, many types of love, and I wish people understood that you can hold those two things very close."

She said new love does not erase old love.

And for anyone who dates a widow or widower, Kloots explained that reality needs to be understood from the start.

"These people are never leaving our lives, but there's definitely room and space for new love, new relationships, new marriage and it's so beautiful."

"Celebrate and help and support friends in your life who are on this journey," she said. "It is so difficult and it is so hard and if you make it harder for us, it really isn't fair."

"So really support those people and guide them along on this because they're doing something that is something they never wish they had to do," she continued. "It's not, they're not dating again because ‘yay!’ It's a different type of dating again. So, support them, love them, be kind."

Cordero died on July 5, 2020, after spending 95 days in the hospital battling COVID-19. The Broadway star endured mini-strokes, blood clots, septic infections and a tracheostomy before doctors amputated his right leg.

Kloots documented his fight for his life publicly, giving followers a front-row seat to a nightmare that began just as she, Cordero and their then-9-month-old son, Elvis, were starting a new life in Los Angeles.

They had moved from New York City in March 2020, chasing what was supposed to be a dream.

Kloots suddenly became a widow — and she's never stopped talking about Cordero.

WATCH: AMANDA KLOOTS SHARES HOW SHE STILL FEELS LATE HUSBAND NICK CORDERO'S PRESENCE

She believes stopping the conversation is one of the biggest mistakes people make after someone dies.

"If he was still alive, I'd be talking about him all the time. He's still in my life. I have a son that I'm raising that's his, and I need to make sure that Elvis knows who his dad was and that the world never forgets him."

Cordero, she said, "was such a beautiful man."

"And I don't think anyone we lose has to be forgotten forever," she continued. "Keep saying their names, keep talking about them, keep celebrating them, celebrate their birthdays, celebrate their anniversaries, honor them at the holidays, and every day. They can still be around."

For Kloots, Cordero's presence isn't simply a metaphor. She says she has continued to feel spiritually connected to him since his death.

"You know, they mean everything," Kloots said of the signs she believes she receives from him.

"I feel like when you lose somebody there's such a finality with death, and you really feel like there's no way you'll ever connect with them again, of course. And I started asking for signs right away from Nick, and he started showing up and I just kind of really went all in on it..."

"I do feel like he's around Elvis and I all the time, and we get signs all the time from him, and I feel like he's on my spirit team just guiding us every single day, and I do feel this really beautiful spiritual connection with him that has got me through these last six years."

That perspective has followed Kloots into her newest chapter — including her role on Netflix's "Let's Marry Harry."

The show puts reality star and notorious bachelor Harry Jowsey's dating life in the hands of three trusted friends, with Kloots serving as a big-sister-like confidante.

Before filming began, she and Jowsey spent time talking about love, marriage and relationships.

"I told him constantly, you know, how you love is so important and marriage changes over time. And you have to really love and communicate with your partner."

Kloots said she quickly noticed a pattern in Jowsey's romantic history.

"He had kind of a track record of fighting equaled love for him."

She challenged him to rethink it.

"What if we flip the switch here? Because I've learned, you know, that I shouldn't have fought so much with my partner. I would take them all back now. I don't have him around anymore."

Kloots emphasized to Fox News Digital that she isn’t romanticizing loss but learning from it.

She's turning that experience into "Good Grief with Amanda Kloots," her new podcast.

The show tackles grief in its many forms, from death and divorce to lost careers, relationships, identities and futures people thought they were guaranteed to have.

Kloots' grief doesn't have an expiration date, and neither does love.

Six years after Cordero's death, she is still carrying him with her while making room for the life ahead.
