Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss Through the Years: ‘Ellen,’ Fatherhood and More
“Thankful for family. Thankful for health. Thankful for love. Thankful for life. Sending y’all so much love from our family to yours,” the former Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ wrote via Instagram on Thanksgiving last month alongside a photo of him with his wife, Allison Holker, and their children.
Boss and Holker, 34 — who exchanged vows in December 2013 — shared three children: Maddox, 6, Zaia, 3, and Weslie, 14, Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship whom Boss adopted.
The couple met as All-Stars on season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance in 2010 and celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary just days before Boss’ death.
“It’s our 9th anniversary!! I couldn’t be more grateful to celebrate this perfect magical day!!! Saying YES to @sir_twitch_alot has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life!! I feel so blessed and loved!! I love you baby and I will never take you or OUR love for granted! I LOVE YOU,” Holker wrote via Instagram on Saturday, December 10, alongside a video of photos from the nuptials.
The Ellen alum, for his part, also commemorated the occasion via social media on Saturday.
