Allison Holker and Kids Celebrate First Easter Since Stephen "tWitch" Boss' Death
Allison Holker has shared a look into her little ones' first Easter since the loss of their father, Stephen "tWitch" Boss.
On April 9, the So You Think You Can Dance star posted Instagram pics of her and her late husband's children Maddox Laurel Boss, 7, and Zaia Boss, 3, collecting colorful, plastic eggs on an outing. She captioned her post, "HAPPY EASTER from my babies."
Allison, also mom to Weslie Fowler, 14, who is Stephen's adoptive daughter, shared the glimpse into her family's Easter celebration more than a month after she penned a moving message to her children following Stephen's passing. The Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ died by suicide at age 40 on Dec. 13.
"I will be here for you every step of the way through the highs and lows, the ups and the downs," Allison wrote to her children in a post on Instagram March 4. "I will protect and I will guide, I will be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, I will have mom jokes ready for when you need a good laugh."
Looking towards the future, Allison noted they will lean on one another.
"My loves we are stronger than you could ever imagine. And we will stand strong together as a unit, and find the courage to hold each other up," she wrote. "The love and light inside our hearts will still shine. I love you forever and always. Mommy"
Since his death, Stephen has been honored by friends, family and fans far and wide, including during a celebration of life event in Los Angeles on Feb. 11. At the time, Allison, Weslie and Ellen DeGeneres spoke during the gathering, which saw over 200 attendees.
"He was the light," Allison said, per People. "He chose love, grace and kindness. And he deserves to be celebrated."
More recently, Allison shared an emotional video of gratitude towards fans, thanking them for their support amid a difficult time.
"It has been very challenging and emotional but you guys have brought so much hope and inspiration to us by sharing stories, and memories and different ways that Stephen impacted your life," Holker noted in the clip shared to Instagram Feb. 18. "And it's brought us so much hope and inspiration. He was someone that was just beautiful and he lived his life from love."
