Allison Holker, 36, is known for her marriage to the late Stephen «tWitch» Boss, her participation in the shows «So You Think You Can Dance» and «Dancing with the Stars», - and now she has become an author. According to PEOPLE magazine, a graduate of the «School of Music» is preparing to release her memoir «Still: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light», - which is set to be released on February 4, 2025. In it, she reportedly talks about the «trauma» she experienced during Boss’s suicide on December 13, 2022.
About the book, she told the publication: «It has given me more focus and purpose, and I really hope to be a defender and voice for people who feel lonely or abandoned», - she explained. «I want them to see that life goes on, and that’s why the book is called 'Still,' because it’s not the end. It’s only the beginning of a new [chapter]». However, there was outrage, with criticism directed at the dancer for allegedly disclosing personal details after Boss’s death.
«For fans of Stephen and our family and friends, I want to be clear that my only goal in writing this book is to share my own story, as well as a part of my life with Stephen, to help other people», - she wrote on Instagram stories on January 8, 2025. «Like you, I will never know what happened, and even trying to piece it together, I will never know».
During their marriage, which began in 2013, they had three children together. Meet each of them below.
Allison’s first daughter, Weslie Fowler, 16, was from a previous relationship, although Boss adopted her and, according to PEOPLE, they had a «special bond». «She's so cool. She’s such a good kid», - he told Jennifer Hudson in 2022. «She's so respectful». In August 2024, Allison shared with the same publication that she and her daughter are also close. «We lean on each other in our high moments, but also in our low moments, when we’re really emotional or going through something», - she shared. «I'm really, really grateful that she sees me, and I see her. We listen to each other and communicate».
Weslie is passionate about soccer and is currently studying in high school.
Maddox Laurel Boss, tWitch and Allison’s first child together, was born in 2016. He is now 8 years old, and in an exclusive interview with HollywoodLife in 2017, tWitch said that dance is «natural» for him. «He just wants to move. Honestly, he’s mine and Allison’s son, so that’s where we got it from», - he told HL at the time. «We always have music playing at home, and we often have impromptu dance parties, so for Maddox, it’s just a normal life!»
On his 8th birthday in March 2024, Allison posted on social media, praising her son. «HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDOX. 8 years old! This kid lights up the world. He has the most beautiful spirit that lifts everyone around him, full of energy and love. So proud of you! Together forever!» she captioned the photo post, along with a charming carousel of photos.
Allison and tWitch’s youngest child, Zaia Boss, 5, was born to the couple in November 2019.

On November 3, 2024, the beauty from «Dancing with the Stars» again took to Instagram to wish her daughter a happy fifth birthday. «Today is my daughter ZAIA’s birthday!» she captioned the diary entry. «She's 5, but she acts like she’s 20.
