She announced the news of the birth of her son in 2020 on her social media, in which she confessed her profound love for her son. She had experienced a passion beyond her imagination. Motherhood had become her.
On her Instagram page, she posted her son’s photo and wrote,
“A little late on the announcement, but I’ve been soaking up these first few days with my little man. Sunday, January 26, 2020, baby August joined us, and boy is he dreamy,” she continues, “He has already brought me so much joy. I can tell motherhood is going to be very tough and tiring, but I’m so excited to start this journey. I love you so much.”
Amanda also loved surfboarding and dirt biking. She had an adventurous spirit. She was also a health and fitness enthusiast. She celebrated every day of her life with her family and friends. She shared many candid moments of her life on her social media.
What happened between Amanda Kaylor and Eric Schwer?
Eric and Amanda were both residents of the same city, Santa Monica. They matched on a dating app, Hinge, and began dating in January 2022. She once called their relationship a ‘whirlwind romance’ in an interview. They dated each other for two months.
According to an interview, Kaylor told the reporter that Eric ended their relationship over a text message to be on a reality TV show, The Bachelorette. In the alleged text, Eric said, “I made a rash decision that was beyond selfish… Can we talk when I am back in LA?”. He also sent her roses. Amanda agreed to meet with him, but he never showed up. He had been filming the show until one day before the airing of The Bachelorette. He then texted her to apologize for his behaviour and said, “I am so sorry, Amanda, what I did was terrible. I don’t expect you to ever forgive me.”
Amanda was an independent, strong young woman who did not let his betrayal get in the way of her life. She went on with her life with dignity and grace. She posted a picture of her on a clear sunny day in a flower field with a note that said, “How I smile knowing I’m not getting engaged for clout.” She looked like the ray of sunshine herself in that photo.
How did Amanda die?
Los Angeles County officers discovered a young woman’s body and identified her as Amanda Kaylor. Since there were no signs of struggle or forced violence, the manner of death was ruled a suicide. However, the circumstances leading to her ending her life are unknown. Eric Schwer has been silent and refused to explain her untimely passing.
