Allison Holker seems to have found a new love.
Holker, 36, posted on Instagram on Wednesday, August 28 share a photo of her shadow – holding hands with the shadow of a mysterious man. She kept her caption simple, leaving only a single red heart emoji.
The dancer’s followers flooded the comments section with congratulations.
“I’m very happy for you,” wrote The conversation Co-host Amanda Klootswhile actress Brittany Perry Russell remarked: “I love a sweet soft launch❤️❤️.”
“I’m glad you have someone who loves you like that,” said another follower. “God bless you and anyone you choose to share your life with.”
One commentator referred to Holker’s late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Bossand wrote: “I hope you find all the love, laughter, blessings and peace in this next chapter that Twitch would wish for you and your sweet family.”
Boss, a dance professional and popular DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, died in December 2022 at the age of 40. He and Holker had married in 2013 and had a son, Maddox, 8, and daughter, Zaia, 4, from a previous relationship, as well as Holker’s daughter, Weslie, 16.
In May, Holker exclusively told We weekly that she could feel Boss’ presence when she was a judge in season 18 of So you think you can dance.
“I just feel like he’s putting wings on my back every day – on the show and outside of the show,” Holker said at the time. “I feel so much support from him and I’m really grateful for that because I think some people see that kind of energy and are a little scared of it. But it’s so beautiful and I feel like he’s protecting me day in and day out.”
Holker first rose to fame in the second season of the dance competition series and subsequently met Boss, who appeared in the show’s fourth season.
At the beginning of the summer, Holker announced People that she was open to the possibility of meeting again.
“I think I’m a person that always says the quote, ‘Romanticize your life.’ And I think even though I’ve been through so much, I still believe in living a big life,” she told the outlet. “There hasn’t been a moment where I haven’t thought to myself, ‘I still want to live a big life.’ I still want to have love, I still want to travel the world. I still want to see and experience new things with new people, new energy, my friends, my family, a loved one — a potential one — and my children.”
She added: “I want them to see that they can learn to trust and love again. That doesn’t have to go away. I would embrace it.”
