Allison Holker Marks 3rd Anniversary of Late Husband Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss’ Death: ‘Love You Forever’

Honoring a Legacy of Love and Dance

On December 13, 2025, Allison Holker took to Instagram to mark the third anniversary of her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s passing. In a heartfelt post accompanied by nostalgic family photos and dance clips, she wrote, “Today is the 3 year Stephen tWitch Boss anniversary day 12/13/2022. We honor you and cherish all of our beautiful memories with you. We loved laughing, creating and dancing. We will love you forever.” The post, which has since garnered an outpouring of support from fans and friends, reflects Holker’s ongoing journey of grief and remembrance.

Boss, a beloved dancer, choreographer, and DJ for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, died by suicide at age 40 on December 13, 2022. His death shocked the entertainment world and left a void in the lives of those who knew him. For Holker and their three children, the anniversary serves as a moment to reflect on the joy he brought into their lives while navigating the pain of his absence.

Remembering the Joy: A Tribute Through Photos and Dance

Holker’s Instagram tribute included a carousel of images capturing intimate family moments and electrifying dance performances. One photo showed the couple laughing together, while another featured Boss dancing with their children. The post also included a video clip of Boss’s signature moves, a reminder of the passion for dance that defined his career. “Saw some beautiful posts yesterday as we lead up to the day,” Holker added. “Thank you for your endless love and support. It means the world to me and my kids.”

This wasn’t the first time Holker has publicly honored her late husband. Earlier in December 2023, she marked what would have been their 10th wedding anniversary with a monochrome image of their wedding day embrace. She wrote, “We love by peace and in the of the ones that have transformed our souls forever. On our anniversary, I find myself in a serene space, cherishing so many beautiful moments that were felt and experienced. With all my heart, I celebrate our love.” The timing of that post—just three days before the first anniversary of his death—underscored the bittersweet interplay of love and loss.
