The Remarkable Love Story of Stephen “tWitch” Boss & Allison Holker: A Closer Look

Allison Holker Reflects on Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ Legacy

Stephen “tWitch” Boss and Allison Holker recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.

“I could not be more grateful to celebrate this wonderful magical day!!!” Holker wrote on Dec. 10, 2022, on Instagram, reminiscing about their sun-kissed nuptials. “Saying YES to @sir_twitch_alot has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made in my life!! I feel so blessed and loved!! I adore you baby and I will never take you or OUR love for granted! I LOVE YOU.”

Boss also marked the occasion by sharing several photos from their reception taken on the dance floor.

Three days later, he was gone.

“The love we shared was so immense,” Holker told Hoda Kotb on TODAY in May, her first interview since her husband’s death by suicide. “I got 13 years with one of the most magical humans and I learned so much about love and gratitude.”

On what would have been their 10th anniversary, Holker wrote of honoring love by finding “peace and gratitude in the memories of the ones which have transformed our souls forever.”

She and Boss shared daughter Zaia, 4, son Maddox, 7, and her daughter Weslie, 15, from a previous relationship.

Before what would have been Boss’ 41st birthday on Sept. 29, Holker shared some scenes from their new normal—Zaia and Maddox riding bikes, bowling night, Weslie learning to drive.

“Life lately… So proud of my angels!” she captioned a Sept. 28 Instagram post. “Allowing love to stay in our hearts guiding us and leading us. There are some really hard moments we’ve had some really hard days but we lean on each other and lift each other up. We start every morning by saying .. we do the hard things! It’s our most vulnerable moments that keep us stronger together and forever!”

After admittedly not being ready for months, the 35-year-old started sharing dance clips again in August (now featuring the very talented Weslie and choreographer best friend Brittany Perry-Russell). Slick routines in the kitchen, living room, and yard had always been a thing she and Boss did together, posting their last video—recorded in front of the Christmas tree—three days before he died.

“Truly felt so good to dance again,” Holker wrote, acknowledging the momentousness of her first dance video without Boss. “I was overwhelmed with so many emotions. I was both scared and excited. But dance has always been there for me … even now and I’m so grateful for that.”

She’s since sold the home she and Boss shared and settled into a new L.A.-apartment apartment with the children.

“To us, Daddy’s in the stars,” Holker said on TODAY. “So, we can go outside and talk to him whenever we want…They simply ask, ‘When is daddy coming back?’ and that’s a very hard one.”

Boss first popped and locked his way into the national consciousness in 2008 on the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance,
