Allison Holker Opens Up about Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ Death: “He Was Hiding So Much" | PEOPLE

Allison Holker, dancer and widow of the beloved 'Ellen DeGeneres Show' star Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, opens up about the shocking events surrounding his death by suicide in December 2022. She reveals the "very scary" discovery just days before his funeral that he had been battling a drug addiction in secret. “I had no clue," she explains. "It’s very confusing when you think everything’s wonderful, but then you look back and you’re like, ‘Maybe that was a sign?’”

The mom of three also shares her husband's heartbreaking last words to their daughter Weslie: 'I wish I could be your Superman." Allison reflects on navigating the unimaginable grief while protecting their children.

She discusses her healing journey and current relationship with boyfriend Adam Edmunds: “I thought it was going to be very, very hard for me to accept love from someone ... 'Am I betraying Stephen by doing that?’ And then I did find love, and I feel happier than ever.”

Her new memoir 'This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light' is available February 4, 2025.
