Stephen Boss’s brother reunites with his children for the first time since the dancer’s death two years ago amid family tensions with widow Allison Holker

The family of Stephen “tWitch” Boss reunited with the late dancer’s children for the first time since his death almost two years ago.

Tensions rose between his mother, Connie Boss Alexander, and his brother, Dré Rose, and his widow, who was accused of causing their family’s separation.

Allison Holker, mother of tWitch’s three children – adopted daughter Weslie, 16; son Maddox, 8; and youngest daughter, Zaia, 5 – recently faced accusations that she was keeping tWitch’s biological children away from their father’s side of the family, apparently compounding an already painful loss. However, plainly the separation is, in a way, over.

For some time in the public eye, things were really bad between the wife and her husband’s family, which got worse after Holker’s recent online debut about her recent relationship. Holker’s last post on tWitch read: common on Father’s Day in 2024, but has since claimed that “Life is sweet” after the death of her children’s father.

In August 2023, Dré shared a public message about the family conflict, revealing it on Instagram post that despite his efforts to maintain their issues private, he felt compelled to talk out. He suggested that Holker’s approach led to an “atmosphere of alienation” between the children and their grandmother.

“Over recent months, we have observed a number of actions and attitudes that, from our perspective, do not create an environment conducive to healing and unity,” he said, partially, referring to Holker’s treatment of their family. According to reports, the family’s problems stem from a dispute over an NDA that Holker allegedly asked the family to sign, which the family didn’t comply with.

Dré claimed that the terms of the contract unintentionally influenced the “Think You Can Dance” star’s children, who he said were “drawn into the intricacies of adult disputes and effectively weaponized in the process.”

The children’s uncle further expressed his disappointment at the lack of consistent “communication” with the children, claiming that his family had not been included of their activities, and added: “It is depressing that their interaction with their grandmother and wider family has been noticeably limited.”

Although greater than a 12 months has passed since Dré’s post, the situation has apparently improved. When Zaia turned 5, Holker, Rose and Connie posted on Instagram on November 3.

Holker post was endearing: “Today is my daughter ZAIA’S BIRTHDAY! She is 5 years old and 20. I’m very happy with how far she has come. My angel has a heart of gold and the cry of a lion.

Fans flooded her comments with their best wishes. Some said, “She looks a lot like her daddy,” others said, “Nothing beats family.”

However, one follower directly addressed the tensions inside the family, commenting: “Poor baby, her mother DOES NOT let her see her GRANDMOTHER… Stop being a (snake emoji) @allisonholker, let the Twitch kids see HER FAMILY!!!”

Dré posted his own birthday wishes for the toddler with the note ” family photo himself holding Zaia and Maddox in his arms.

“Baby Girl Z, wow, big five already! Time flies and each moment with you is more precious than the last. Your pure and beautiful spirit lights up any room and I am happy to watch you grow into a wonderful young girl,” my uncle said.

“Always keep in mind that your ancestors, including your father, are watching over you with love and protection. Uncle Dee loves you a lot and might’t wait for you to see all the amazing belongings you will do. Shine shiny, my dear.

Many followers expressed support for his sentiments, asking if the photo was recent, and rooting for him to see his niece and nephew.

“Yes. For the first time since December 2022, I have to spend some time,” Dré replied.

Another person added: “It’s great to see them, that’s what your brother would want.”

Connie post it was equally warm for Zaia: “From AZ to California. Happy fifth BIRTHDAY to our beloved little Zaia! How time flies… it’s such a blessing to see you grow.

She added: “With your charming smile and unwavering determination, I can not wait to see what the world has in store for you! I really like you, baby! I do know Daddy is smiling and surrounding you with his loving presence in your special occasion.

However, her supporters didn’t hold back their opinions.

“Happy birthday, sweet girl. Grandma, please honestly when signing your captions you should mention how their mom keeps them/you away from her, the kids will grow up and see your IG page, they need to know that you and your family have tried EVERYTHING to stay in their lives, but their mother selfishly refused!!!” one person wrote.

Another asked: “Are you allowed to send your grandchildren gifts on their birthdays and Christmas?” Grandma didn’t answer this query.

But one person paid attention to the conversation and wrote: “Stephen is alive because of his children…who can never be taken away.”

Tension in the family began after the tragic death of the executive producer/DJ of “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” but it surely is unclear exactly when. When tWitch died by suicide, he didn’t leave a will specifying how his estate or future assets could be divided.

Holker, who also danced in “So You Think You Can Dance,” filed a California spousal estate petition to determine her right to her late husband’s estate. She asked for control of his estate to support their children, including her teenage daughter, whom Boss adopted. This move reportedly didn’t go down well with Boss’s mother, who had different views on access to his property.

The legal decision was made on April 26, 2023, According to to E! News when the California Supreme Court awarded Holker Boss an interest in the couple’s joint estate, which included several assets including Stephen Boss Productions, Inc., his investment account with Goldman Sachs, royalties from Cast and Crew Production Services and Disney Worldwide Services, Inc.

This provided Holker with the financial resources she needed to support her children, even though it doesn’t appear to have fully resolved the tensions inside the family.

Although Holker could have modified his life in some respects, the conflict with Boss’s family continues. Many people hope that for the sake of the children, adults will reconcile in order that the mourning process is not going to be further complicated by constant estrangement.
