Allison Holker has found love again.
The 36-year-old shared insights into her new relationship on social media, a year and a half after her husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss committed suicide.
Holker posted a photo on Instagram on Wednesday of two shadows that appeared to be herself holding the mysterious man’s hand.
She captioned the snapshot with a red heart emoji.
Fans flocked to the comments section to show their support for the “So You Think You Can Dance” judge.
“This has been a long time coming. I’m proud of you for taking the step,” one person shared, while another chimed in, “Life is meant to be lived and loved. You are teaching your children that it’s OK to live. I wish you all the luck.”
One user rounded off the sweet messages by commenting, “Love has the ability to renew itself even after the toughest of losses. To find the courage to open your heart again after such a journey speaks to the resilience of your spirit and the beauty of the love you have shared.”
They concluded: “May this new chapter bring you the joy, companionship and peace you so richly deserve, and may it honor the love you will always carry in your hearts as we embrace the possibilities of tomorrow.”
Boss died in 2022 at the age of 40 and the couple had three children together: daughters Weslie, 16, and Zaia, 4, and son Maddox, 8.
The former DJ of the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room; he had sustained a gunshot wound and reportedly left a suicide note.
Holker reportedly told authorities that there was no argument between the two before he left the couple’s home before his death.
In June, Holker, who married Boss in 2013, briefly reflected on how her children had dealt with their father’s death, telling People that they had done so with “so much grace and so much kindness.”
“We’ve always had a very close bond as a family,” the reality star continued. “But now it’s taken to a new level. Respect, patience and understanding are at a new level. And the conversations I can have with my children are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced with other families.”
Holker added: “It came from something so sad and painful, but it just brought us together.”
Despite the tragedy, she remained hopeful that she would find her other half 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,” Holker told the outlet. “There hasn’t been a moment where I haven’t thought to myself, ‘I still want to live a big life.'”
The mother of three said she “would still want to have love, would still want to travel the world. I would 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.”
The most important thing for Holker was to be a role model for her children.
“I want them to see that they can learn to trust and love again,” she confessed. “It doesn’t have to go away.”
And as for dating? As Holker put it, “I would take it.”
