Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, Allison Holker considered more kids weeks before his death
Just weeks before Stephen “tWitch” Boss died by suicide, he and his wife, Allison Holker, discussed plans to expand their family.
The “So You Think You Can Dance” alums — who shared daughter Weslie, 14, son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zaia, 3 — admitted during a Nov. 17 appearance on “The Jennifer Hudson Show” that they missed having a newborn in the house.
“I think we’d love to start trying for another one,” Holker, 34, said at the time.
“We really do [miss it],” Boss added. “I love the little babies. I love ’em.”
He also shared that having more children was “a constant conversation” between the couple.
The former “Ellen DeGeneres Show” DJ’s dream never came to fruition, however, as Page Six confirmed that he died Tuesday. He was 40 years old.
A frantic Holker reportedly told Los Angeles police that her husband had left home without his car, which seemed out of character for him. Shortly after, authorities found Boss dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
After the news broke, Holker issued a heartbreaking statement about her late husband.
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us,” she said. “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him.
“He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
The former “Dancing With the Stars” pro then spoke about Boss’ legacy, adding that his “positive impact” will continue to be felt even though he is no longer here.
“I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory,” she continued. “We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”
Holker concluded her statement by sending a message to her late husband: “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”
Boss and Holker began dating after meeting on Season 7 of “So You Think Can Dance.” They tied the knot in 2013.
Just days before the former “Ellen” producer’s death, the couple celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.
On Dec. 10, Holker gushed over Boss on Instagram, writing that marrying him was “one of the best decisions” she had ever made.
She added, “I feel so blessed and loved!! I love you baby and I will never take you or OUR love for granted! I LOVE YOU.”
Boss also commemorated the special day, sharing throwback photos from their wedding.
“Happy anniversary my love @allisonholker #9years ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” he captioned the post.
