AceShowbiz - Allison Holker has apparently moved forward, nearly two years after her husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss' tragic passing. Opening herself to love again, the pro dancer has hinted at a new romance through her social media post.
On Wednesday, August 28, the mother of three made use of her social media page to soft launch her new boyfriend. She took to her Instagram page to post an image of two shadows, seemingly of her and a mystery man holding hands, that were cast against a concrete walkway. She kept the caption simple with a single red heart emoji.
While Allison still keeps the identity of her new man a secret, her fans and friends have shown their support in the comments section of her post. One of them was Alyssa Milano, who wrote, "I'm rooting for you, lady!" Julianne Hough reacted with a red heart emoji, while Amanda Kloots chimed in, "Very happy for you."
Another follower weighed in, "I'm happy you have someone to give you love in this way. Blessings you and to whoever you choose to share your life with." Someone wrote, "Everyone deserves another love chance. I wish you nothing but love and happiness, Allison," and another added, "You deserve all the happiness." One other wrote, "It's been a long time coming. Proud of you for taking the leap."
tWitch, a pro dancer and popular DJ on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", died in December 2022 at age 40. He and Allison shared son Maddox, 8, and daughter Zaia, 4. He was also the stepfather to Allison's daughter Weslie, 16, from a previous relationship.
Following her husband's passing, the former "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant told PEOPLE their three children dealt with the loss of their father with "so much grace and so much kindness." She said, "We always had a really close bond as a family. But there's a new level of it now. There's a new level of respect and patience and understanding."
"And the conversations I'm able to embrace and have with my children is like nothing I've ever seen from other families," she added. "It came from something so sad and painful, but it's only brought us together."
Of finding love again, the 36-year-old said in June, "I still would want to have love, would still want to travel the world. I still want to see and experience new things with new people, new energy, my friends, my family, a loved one - a potential - and my kids."
"I want them to see that they can still learn to trust and love again. It doesn't have to go away," she went on sharing, adding of the potential of dating again, "I would embrace it."
