Allison Holker wants everyone to know something important.
Two months after the death of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the professional dancer took to Instagram on Saturday to show her gratitude.
“I just want to say thank you for all the love and support you’ve sent me and my family today,” the 35-year-old said in a video posted on Instagram.
Holker uploaded this footage in the wake of Boss taking his own life back in December.
“It’s been very challenging and emotional, but you’ve brought us so much hope and inspiration by sharing your stories and your memories and the times and the different ways that Stephen has impacted your life,” Holker said.
“It brings us a lot of hope and inspiration.”
Boss rose to fame as a contestant on MTV’s The Wade Robson Project before finishing as runner-up on Star Search.
He went on to finish second on So You Think You Can Dance in 2008… and joined The Ellen DeGeneres Show six years later as a guest DJ.
Boss eventually became a permanent fixture on the talk show and was named an executive producer in 2020.
Holker – who married Boss in 2013 – continued:
“He is a person who is just beautiful, and he lives from love and he makes you feel a certain way.
“My family and I have always said that we want to make sure that our goal is fulfilled by bringing joy to people, joy in people’s homes, from dance or love – and that will never change for us.
“It’s going to feel a little different, but we know that’s our goal, and we’re going to do it until then.”
The Dancing With the Stars alum and Boss share son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zaia, 3.
Before his death, Boss also adopted Holker’s daughter, Weslie, 14, from a previous relationship.
“I hope we can remember the feeling it gave us and remember that we can still move on from there.
“We can still move and choose love, and we can still choose mercy and we can still choose kindness,” Holker told followers.
“And I’ll always be there for you, and I thank you for this moment. It’s been a long time for us, thank you. And I hope you remember how special you are and how much of an impact you have on the world and keep going from there .
“We love you.”
Boss was buried in a small family funeral on January 4th.
About a month later, hundreds turned to a celebration of life in his honor.
“To my husband, best friend, babe, Chee-chalker, Superman and father of my children, I LOVE YOU FOREVER and ALWAYS!” Holker previously captioned a slideshow of happy moments with Boss.
“We will always remember you as the beacon that you truly were and we will continue to shine your light and love around the world.
“Thank you for the wonderful memories and our wonderful life.”
