Widow Allison Holker says the sudden death of her husband Stephen Boss left her in financial trouble and, without a will, she had difficulty accessing her funds.

Allison Holker, the widow of late hip-hop dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss, has revealed the financial burden and emotional stress she endured following her husband’s death.

Boss (40) committed suicide on December 13, 2022. According to reports, the longtime DJ and producer of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” died without leaving a will.

During a recent interview with Vivian Tu for the SoFi YouTube channel, Holker, 36, spoke about the difficulties brought on by tWitch’s lack of written documents granting access to its assets and properties.

“We never had access to each other’s accounts,” she admitted when asked how the couple shared their funds during their nine-year marriage.

She continued: “I even have all the time been very financially independent and I just loved it. And he all the time had his way. And we each mostly earned the same income. We were paid exactly the same for nearly every job we ever did.

Holker and Boss were married on December 10, 2013 in Paso Robles, California. They have three children: son Maddox Boss, 8, daughter Zaia Boss, 4, and Holker’s 16-year-old daughter, Weslie Fowler, from a previous relationship, who was adopted by tWitch.

Before their wedding in 2013, each tWitch and Allison appeared on various seasons as contestants on the dance competition television series “So You Think You Can Dance”. Boss finished second in the show’s fourth season in 2008. Holker was in the top eight in the second season. She returned as a star in seasons 7 to 11.

The Minnesota-born and Utah-raised woman was also solid as a skilled dance partner on 4 seasons of the competitive dance show “Dancing with the Stars,” which began in 2014.

The pair have achieved individual and collective success as social media influencers, dancing in online videos and promoting brands similar to Dick’s Sporting Goods.

During an interview with SoFi, Holker admitted that she was surprised that married couples having separate bank accounts could possibly be seen as a “weird thing.”

Although she kept her income separate from her husband, Holker admitted that they did business together. She thought of having to carry meetings with financial advisors about taxes and contracts the day after TWitch’s death.

Additionally, Vivian Tu questioned Allison about how separating her account from Stephen resulted in her having to legally prove her marriage to him in the state of California after he took his own life.

“No one is ready for such a situation. So every little thing I used to be learning and going through was a starting. I didn’t know you had to follow all these steps to access your account,” Holker explained.

She added: “But it took a very long time. I never took ownership of his accounts for about four to five months. Now, fortunately, I had my own accounts and finances that were in a really, really healthy, great place because it could have gone on for four or five months with no money.”

Pop star Demi Lovato’s former backup dancer then expressed the emotional ordeal of having to present her husband’s death certificate and other documents to varied institutions to prove she was married to her deceased spouse, “a lot of paperwork.”

“It’s not easy to hand someone a death certificate over and over again. It’s really exciting to do this everywhere. (To) prove that you were married, prove that death occurred. It’s emotional.”

YouTube users expressed their thoughts on Holker’s revelations about coping with tWitch, who didn’t leave a notarized will, and the way it affected her family emotionally and financially.

One person wrote: “What a strong woman!!! How horribly she had been treated publicly after the news of his death, after which in spite of everything the financial nonsense she had to instantly cope with in the ignorant judgment of public opinion. That makes every little thing that way more tragic.”

A like-minded commenter wrote: “Wow, I never thought about all the practical demands that come after death. All you want to do is be sad, but the world keeps turning. “Allison is so strong!”

In contrast, the critic declared, “Love her. A robust woman. Sometimes I feel like he still has anger and tremors about what happened. I hope I’m unsuitable.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the Emmy-nominated choreographer said she all the time let her children see her sad and crying, even when she was screaming in the yard after losing her husband of almost a decade.

“It also shows that he was under a lot of stress,” Holker said of tWitch’s possible state of mind at the time of his suicide. “And he didn’t allow someone like me or others to participate in the stress that he may have been experiencing.”

She continued: “So I felt really bad and sad that I used to be holding on to a lot. But unfortunately he left it to me to cope with. Honestly, sometimes I used to be a little indignant with him, a little furious, not only because of the outrageous decision he made, but I didn’t even know something like that was happening.

Nearly two years after tWitch’s death, Allison Holker says her family is in “much lighter times.” Her daughter Weslie gave her her blessing to seek out love again, just as she did with tech entrepreneur Adam Edmunds. Holker and Edmunds introduced a “soft start” to their relationship on August 28 Instagram post.

Nine days later, the recent couple made their first public appearance together during New York Fashion Week 2024. Edmunds serves as CEO of Entrata, a property management software company.
