“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us.
Stephen lit up every room he stepped into.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
“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.
The love and light inside our hearts will still shine.
In recent years, Holker has brought her kids to the cemetery to spend time reminiscing about tWitch.
In fact, the two would often share videos of themselves doing fun choreography on social media.
However, once tWitch died, Holker lost her desire to dance.
“Dancing with him was so special,” Holker toldPeoplemagazine in May 2023.
“I haven’t danced yet.
That’s gonna be a big step for me, but I know that I’ll get there.
He’s guiding me on this path,” she added.
Three months later, Holker shared a video of herself dancing alongside friend and fellow choreographer Brittany Perry-Russell.
“Truly felt so good to dance again.
I was overwhelmed with so many emotions.
I was both scared and excited.
But dance has always been there for me… even now and I am so grateful for that.
Holker was all smiles in the video and appeared to really enjoy getting her groove back.
Fans loved the video, too, as emotional as it was.
Of course, it also didn’t go unnoticed that tWitch was missing.
“Not seeing twitch in ur videos, it really hurts,” one fan commentread.
“We just venture to double-check that we have open dialogue.
She also found that communication and expressing oneself really are key parts of the healing process.
“This Far” is scheduled to hit shelves on February 4, 2025.
When Holker purchased a home with tWitch, she never dreamed of selling it due to such heartbreaking circumstances.
Of course, no one could have predicted what happened in the years that followed.
Holker and her kids moved into a new home prior to the sale.
“It’s got such great energy about it and everyone just feels like they can breathe here.
The transition went fairly smoothly.
“Everyone’s been moved in and very happy about it,” Holker said.
The announcement was made nearly one year after Stephen Boss' death.
Nevertheless, she took the job and it really seemed to help her healing process.
And while the return to “SYTYCD” was emotional, Holker looked at the opportunity with gratitude.
“It feels like this show is the gift that keeps on giving to me.
As time went on, those posts became few and far between.
For example, in December 2023, Holker penned a tribute to Boss in honor of their wedding anniversary.
With my whole heart I celebrate our love,” she wrote, according toPeoplemagazine.
That post has since been deleted.
Additionally, the initial posts that Holker wrote in memory of tWitch are also missing from her feed.
Thank you for our incredible memories and our beautiful life shared together,” according toET.
“I was talking to him really actively.
I talked to him almost every single night, a really long time.
It would be about anything and everything.
It could be how was the day today?
…Or I would be really upset and yelling at him sometimes,” she toldPeoplemagazine in January 2024.
She explained it as her life’s purpose, just altered a bit.
When Stephen Boss died, finding love again was the furthest thing from Holker’s mind.
So to what kind of capacity?
What that looks like?
I don’t know.
But I’m definitely not shying away from it.
“I’ve changed a lot,” she toldPeoplemagazine in June 2024.
“I still would want to have love, would still want to travel the world.
It appears Holker has gradually adopted a more positive outlook in the years since tWitch’s death.
It wasn’t until November 2024, however, that Holker and Edmunds wentInstagramofficial.
I couldn’t be more happy and excited for this next chapter,” she captioned an Instagram post.
