Allison Holker is keeping Stephen“tWitch”Boss’s memory alive in the most beautiful way. On what would have been his 44th birthday, she shared an Instagram tribute that focused on gratitude, not sadness.“We celebrate you not just with sadness of missing you, but with so much gratitude for every beautiful moment, every laugh, every adventure and every memory you gave us,”she wrote, adding,“Happy birthday, twitch. I love you always.”
The couple’s story started on the set of So You Think You Can Dance in 2010. They married three years later and built a life together with three children: Weslie, 18, Maddox, 10, and Zaia, 6. Boss became a beloved staple on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as the show’s DJ from 2014 until 2022, and his death by suicide in December 2022 at age 40 shocked fans around the world.
This week, the tributes came from all directions. Weslie posted throwback photos on her Instagram Story, and Ellen DeGeneres shared a birthday post honoring her late friend. Holker, who is now engaged to Adam Edmunds, continues to navigate grief while celebrating the joy tWitch brought to everyone who knew him. His legacy lives on through his family and the millions of fans whose lives he touched.
