ALLISON Holker was widowed when her husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss died in 2022, but now she seems to have found love once again.
Stephen was 40 when he committed suicide and is known as Ellen DeGeneres’ fun-loving DJ on The Ellen Show.
But his wife Allison Holker, who married him in 2013, appears to be taking a different path after posting a semi-cryptic snapshot online hinting at a possible new romance.
On Instagram, she shared a snapshot of a shadow on the sidewalk. It shows Allison holding the hand of a male figure and their shadows are visible on the ground.
Alison shared the snap on Wednesday evening, captioning it with a simple red heart emoji, and her fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts and excited messages.
“I can’t wait to see who the lucky one is,” wrote one fan.

Another added: “This has been a long time coming. I’m proud of you for taking the plunge.”
“I’m glad you have someone who gives you love in this way. God bless you and anyone you choose to share your life with,” added a third.
“Everyone deserves a second chance at love. I wish you nothing but love and happiness Allison,” wrote a fourth.
“Ahh I LOVE seeing this! I’m so happy for you both. Just please tell me this guy can dance!!?? You and Twitch will always be my favorite dancers,” another fan sweetly gushed.
A sixth person emotionally confessed: “As a new widow, this gives me hope that one day, when I am ready, I can find another person to share my life with.”
“No one can replace the one we have lost and we can find hope, joy and love again. I am so happy for you.”
Stephen began performing as a DJ on The Ellen Show in 2014 and has since gained worldwide fame.
The popular DJ was even named executive producer of the show two years before the show ended in 2020.
“He wanted to be the strong one for everyone.”
Allison Holker on the death of her husband
About a year ago, Stephen’s widow spoke to Hoda Kotb on the Today Show. Last May, she met with the host.
Finding grace
Allison spoke openly about her husband’s death and addressed the stigma associated with talking about suicide.
“He wanted to be strong for everyone,” she told Hoda, adding, “And I think the thought that he might have to ask for help scared him a little bit.”
She continued, “There’s a huge stigma attached to suicide. I think we just need to show a little mercy.”
LOVE STORY
Allison and Stephen met for the first time on the reality TV show “So You Think You Can Dance”.
When they met, Allison was a contestant in the second season.
They met in 2010 and married in 2013. They have three children together, including one that Stephen adopted from his wife’s previous relationship.
PEACEFUL END
On January 5, 2023, Stephen was buried in Los Angeles.
That day, his wife could be seen leaving the family home and heading to the funeral, which was held in Forest Lawn in the Glendale area.
After the funeral, the family gathered at the Castaway Restaurant in Burbank.
About two months after his death in February, Allison posted a thank you video on social media for her fans and followers.
“It was very challenging and emotional,” she admitted.
“But you have brought us so much hope and inspiration by sharing stories, memories and moments with us and showing how Steven has impacted your lives in different ways.
“He was just a beautiful person and lived his life for love. And he made you feel a certain way,” she continued.
