Trigger warning: This article contains themes of suicide that some readers may find distressing
Allison Holker is still struggling to come to terms with losing her husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss. One week after he died by suicide, Allison Holker shared her pain in an Instagram post. The former Dancing with the Stars pro posted a lovely picture of the pair in her first social media post after Boss' passing, per PEOPLE. Allison, 34, captioned the photo with a devastating statement, "My ONE and ONLY Oh how my heart aches." She continued, "We miss you so much."
Ellen DeGeneres commented on the photo, expressing her condolences and support for Holker, "There is so much love coming to you. I hope you can feel it." Actress Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries commented too, sending support, "Sending so much love and healing to you and your family!"
Boss and Holker met when they competed as all-stars on So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 in 2010, but they didn't start dating until the season finale party. In 2013, the pair finally wed in a ceremony in Paso Robles, California. Two days before Boss's passing, Holker had shared a fun video of the couple dancing to Alicia Keys' song December Back 2 June on social media.
The So You Think You Can Dance alumni celebrated one other's anniversaries just days before Boss passed, paying respect to one another. "I couldn't be more grateful to celebrate this perfect magical day!!!" Holker had written on December 10. "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 #happyanniversary #bosswedding2013." Boss shared a similar sentimental messaging, captioning a carousel of photos with the two from their wedding, "Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9years."
Allison made the following statement to PEOPLE shortly after Boss's death on December 14, "It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share that my husband Stephen has left us." She continued, "Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends, and community above all else, and leading with love and the light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans."
Stephen, who died by suicide last week, is survived by his mother, Connie Boss Alexander, his wife, Allison, and their three children, 3-year-old Zaia, 6-year-old Maddox, and 14-year-old Weslie. "To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt," she added. "I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children."
