It has been a little over two months since Stephen “tWitch” Boss sadly died by suicide. He was an American freestyle hip-hop dancer, choreographer, actor, television producer, and television personality. He was well known for being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as her on-set DJ.
The Today show’s Randi Richardson, a reporter based in New York, shared a story about tWitch’s wife, Allison Holker, sharing a throwback video of the couple dancing together. Allison is also a professional dancer.
The couple shared numerous videos of themselves dancing together, especially during the pandemic. On January 14, Allison reshared a throwback video of the two dancing a routine, both wearing comfy sweats and looking beautifully in love. Seeing them dance together, you can clearly see how iconic their connection was. They end their dance routine with a kiss, which makes the video even more heartwarming.
Allison captioned the video on her Instagram post with “Our love language.” She and tWitch shared three children: Maddox, 6; Zaia, 3; and Weslie, 14. Weslie is Allison’s daughter from a previous relationship, and tWitch legally adopted her.
Since tWitch’s death, his wife has shared many tributes to him. One of her captions said, “To my husband, best friend, babe, Chee-chalker, Superman and father of my children I LOVE YOU FOREVER and ALWAYS! We will forever remember you as the true beacon of light that you were, and we will continue to cast your light and love throughout the world. Thank you for our incredible memories and our beautiful life shared together.”
After his death, there were many others who wrote tributes to him, including Ellen DeGeneres. She wrote, “I’m heartbroken, tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family and I loved him with all my heart.”
I remember when my mom would watch Ellen, and I loved watching tWitch and Ellen dancing together. He was never shy with his dance moves, and he always got the audience up and moving. You could just tell by watching him that he would light up any room he walked into.
