Allison Holker, the widow of Stephen "tWitch" Boss, has opened a new chapter in her life, sharing her happiness with boyfriend Adam Edmunds. The celebrated dancer recently posted a heartfelt black-and-white photo of the couple on social media, marking a significant moment in her journey of healing and rediscovery.
This announcement comes after Allison, 36, revealed in August 2024 that she was ready to "give love one more chance." The decision was deeply personal for the mother of three, who lost her husband, Stephen, unexpectedly in December 2022. tWitch, known for his charismatic presence on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and his remarkable talent, had been Allison's partner in life and dance for nine years.

In January 2024, Allison first opened up about her path to healing during a conversation on Nick Viall's The Viall Files podcast. "It was very hard for me to learn to like myself again and to learn to love myself again," she shared. And then also, could I like someone else again? Could I love someone else again while I still like someone and love someone else?"
Later, in May 2024, Allison appeared on Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner's podcast, The Squeeze, where she reflected on the man behind the iconic tWitch persona. She described Stephen as not just the joyful and energetic personality the world adored but also as someone deeply introspective and reserved. "He wore this character of tWitch, and it did become a part of who he was, but that extroverted personality was not natural for him," she explained. "So when he would go out as tWitch and make sure he's spreading all this love and joy and positivity and be dancing all the time for people and an entertainer and such, it would drain his energy."
Allison also illuminates a deeper aspect of Stephen's character. "Sometimes I wonder if, when he would receive so much love, he almost didn't think he deserved that love, so he'd give it right back. That's why he was such a giver," she pondered.

Following the heartbreaking loss of Stephen, Allison is navigating the complex landscape of her grief, which is both profound and challenging. She strives to honor his memory while providing support to their three children: Weslie, at 16, is grappling with her own feelings of sorrow and trying to be the mature eldest sibling; Maddox and little Zaia.
