Allison Holker paid tribute to Stephen "tWitch" Boss on the third anniversary of his death, sharing tender glimpses of their life together with children Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia.

On Saturday, Dec. 14, the widow took to her Instagram to commemorate tWitch, who left the world in 2022, along with clips of the couple dancing together, as well as several family photos.

"Today is the 3 year Stephen tWitch Boss anniversary day 12/13/2022. We honor you and cherish all of our beautiful memories with you. We loved laughing, creating and dancing. We will love you forever."

Allison Holker continued:

"Saw some beautiful posts yesterday as we lead up to the day. Thank you for your endless love and support. It means the world to me and my kids."

Stephen "tWitch" Boss was a professional hip-hop dancer, actor, choreographer, and TV producer. Among his notable works were his performances in So You Think You Can Dance, DJ-ing and producing The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and acting in Step Up movies. He also appeared as a pro dancer on the hit reality competition show, Dancing with the Stars.


Stephen "tWitch" Boss's mother on his late son: "He truly was kind and caring"

This is not the first time Allison Holker's late husband's death has been brought up.

Last February, Boss's mother Connie sat down for a conversation with CBS Mornings. She shared:

"He truly was kind and caring and always wanting to make sure you were OK and taking care of you. We were a very affectionate family. So very affectionate."

The family also talked about how tWitch's death, caused by a self-inflicted gunshot in a hotel room, was unimaginable. At the time, the mother shared that they were busy with the Christmas list for his kids when she received a phone call from her brother, Alan.

"I just remember Alan saying, 'Connie, he's gone' and I just dropped. I just, you can't imagine those words."

Until then, Connie confessed that mourning him took too long to process, which also prompted her to be with Allison Holker and her grandchildren.

"The intent was to grieve together, be a family together, 'cause we are family, we're Boss, and we wanted to be there for her."

Meanwhile, two years after tWitch's death, Allison Holker published a memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, which details the late dancer's marijuana use and stashes of drugs allegedly discovered in their home following his passing. The book also contains some lurid details from his journal.

Further, the memoir also narrates the late dancer being sexually abused as a child by a trusted male figure. The information was unknown to Connie, it astounded her. She shared:

"I guess my thought is, first of all, that was his story to tell."
