Grief does not ask for an introduction. It arrives, rearranges a life, and then, if we are fortunate, teaches us who we can still become. On August 5, 2026, Emmy-nominated host, fitness entrepreneur, and bestselling author Amanda Kloots launched Good Grief with Dear Media by sitting down with a friend who understands that truth from the inside: Australian reality star and entrepreneur Harry Jowsey. Their premiere episode, "Harry Jowsey: The Loss That Changed Everything" (~1 hour 3 minutes), is an honest conversation about how shared loss can forge an unexpected friendship, and how grief continues to shape love, purpose, and the way we carry the people we've lost.
A friendship forged through shared loss
Amanda and Harry met through the unexpected gift of shared experience. As the Dear Media episode description puts it, they talk about how grief can bring people together: Harry's father, their friendship, Let's Marry Harry, finding love after loss, and how grief still shapes their lives. That bond was visible when Amanda appeared as one of Harry's closest confidants on Netflix's Let's Marry Harry (alongside Georgia Hassarati and Sonny Henty), not as a romantic storyline, but as a friend who knows what it is to rebuild after the unthinkable. In 2026, that friendship became the first chapter of Amanda's podcast home for conversations about carrying grief forward rather than leaving it behind. Listen to the full premiere on Spotify.
Amanda Kloots: a life lived in motion, and a love that endures
Born March 19, 1982, near Canton, Ohio, Amanda built a career on stages that demand grit and grace: Broadway (Good Vibrations, Follies, Young Frankenstein, Bullets Over Broadway) and a season as a Radio City Rockette. On Bullets Over Broadway she met Tony-nominated actor Nick Cordero. They married in 2017 and welcomed their son, Elvis Eduardo, in June 2019. In July 2020, after a roughly 95-day battle with COVID-19 complications, Nick died at 41. Since then, Amanda has spoken tenderly about widowhood while making room for joy: AK! Fitness and her jump-rope method; the New York Times bestselling memoir Live Your Life (2021) with her sister Anna; Fit for Christmas (2022); co-hosting CBS's The Talk (~2021 to 2024) as an Emmy nominee; finishing fourth on Dancing with the Stars Season 30; advising Harry on Let's Marry Harry; and now hosting Good Grief. Through it all, she has looked for ways to keep Nick's light present, for herself, and for Elvis.
Nick's diamond: "pure magic," worn against Amanda's skin
With Eterneva, Amanda created a memorial diamond grown from some of Nick's ashes: an emerald-cut black diamond set by EF Collection Fine Jewelry so it always touches her skin, with Nick's initials engraved on the bottom. She chose black because Nick loved wearing black on stage; the rectangular cut nods to his 6'5" presence. When she revealed the piece: "I used some of my husband's ashes to grow this beautiful diamond so he could be with me every day." When the stone catches the light, it turns blue: "pure magic," she called it (USA Today, June 18, 2026). Earlier with People, she said she wanted something she could look at every day (vs. ashes that were hard to face) and one day pass to Elvis. Her Diamond Journey spanned roughly ten months. On the Good Grief premiere, they open with their diamonds. Amanda shows Harry the stone she grew from Nick's ashes, and notes she got Harry to make one from his dad's. Holding it to the light, she points out how it turns blue (a nod, she says, to the first ashes she ever placed for Nick in the Pacific). The setting is designed so the diamond always touches her skin. Harry, whose own light-blue diamond he admits he accidentally broke, says of the stone: "You know what? I feel like it has magical powers." Holding it for the first time, he adds, "there's an energy in this," and that the moment was so emotional he cried. That early moment is why this episode matters so deeply to the Eterneva community: two people who have walked the Diamond Journey, speaking in public about what it means to keep love tangible.
Harry Jowsey: after Paul, a reset toward love and legacy
Harry Jowsey first reached global audiences on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle, later appearing on Perfect Match Season 2, Dancing with the Stars, and The Amazing Race Australia. He hosts Boyfriend Material, co-founded skincare brand Pash, and works as a model. In 2026 he starred in Netflix's Let's Marry Harry, with 20 women and a marriage premise, where grief and readiness for real partnership sat just beneath the spectacle. His father, Paul Jowsey, died in December 2024 after a terminal illness and medically assisted dying in New Zealand; Harry was with him in the final months. Since then, Harry has spoken about grief as a "reset," and about wanting marriage and family after loss (Us Weekly, July 2026; Netflix Tudum, August 6, 2026). Those themes ripple through both the Netflix series and this Good Grief conversation.
Honoring Paul as a ~5-carat Eterneva diamond, and paying it forward
Harry shared his Eterneva journey and pay-it-forward gift on Instagram. Watch the posts Eterneva amplified:
In early 2026, Eterneva helped Harry commemorate his dad as a stunning ~5-carat memorial diamond (shared by co-founder Adelle Archer on LinkedIn, ~March 2026). The experience moved him so deeply that he offered to privately fund a full Eterneva Diamond Journey for another grieving family, paying it forward so someone else could carry their loved one close. That impulse, to turn private pain into public generosity, is something Eterneva sees often: when a diamond comes home, many families feel called to make space for someone else's love, too.
Why this premiere matters
Good Grief is Amanda's next chapter in making room for hard truths and unexpected gifts. Pairing the premiere with Harry, whose father is now held in diamond form just as Nick is held in Amanda's, underscores a simple idea at the heart of Eterneva's mission: brightness and meaning can live alongside loss. Grief is not a problem to solve. It is a relationship that changes shape: sometimes as a podcast that invites listeners to carry what they've lost in a new way; sometimes as a black diamond that flashes blue in the light; sometimes as a young man funding another family's journey because his own meant that much. On behalf of everyone at Eterneva, we are honored to walk beside Amanda, Harry, and every family who chooses to grow love into something they can wear, hold, and pass on.
