Details About tWitch’s ‘Two Very Different Personalities’ Revealed

Known for her grace and resilience, the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum has been channeling her pain into purpose, sharing her story to help others find light in their darkest moments. In fact, she recently revealed that she had been working on a memoir for years but understandably put the project on hold after her husband’s death.

Now, she’s ready to share her story with the world. Titled “This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light,” the memoir is set to be released on February 8.

The book reflects Allison Holker’s emotional journey following tWitch’s tragic passing and her commitment to embracing vulnerability and authenticity.

Reflecting on her late husband, Holker shared with People a poignant observation about his internal struggles. “Looking back, I realize his ‘two very different personalities’ were increasingly battling each other,” she revealed. “What if he felt safe being this one individual who could have different kinds of energies? You don’t have to be a completely different person and put them aside from each other.”

In her journey of healing, Holker has aligned herself with organizations like the National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI) and Maple Counseling.

“I’ve been so fortunate to have resources that have helped me,” she said. “I’ve learned there’s so many other resources that a lot of people don’t know about. I’ve had so many people reach out to me needing to talk, and if I’ve learned anything, it’s that mental health can impact anyone at any time in their life.”

Holker emphasized the importance of holding space for those in need. “It’s important to be an open vessel when someone’s going through a difficult time. Listen, allow them to be who they are at that moment, and don’t make them feel like it’s wrong,” she explained. “People who have a lot of light still have gone through a lot of dark. And that’s okay because you can’t have one without the other.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, a beloved dancer, actor, and television personality, was widely known for his role as a DJ on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and his appearances on “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Shortly after the news broke, Holker released a statement to People Magazine. “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.”

“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt,” she added. “I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”

In the time since his passing, Holker has slowly opened herself up to new love and is now dating tech CEO Adam Edmunds. She addressed this new chapter in her life with vulnerability and honesty, emphasizing that her love for tWitch will always remain.

“I had such a beautiful love with Stephen, and I still have such a beautiful love with him. But the love I learned has only helped me to be even better in my next love,” she said. “I feel like I’m even more suited now in this next step in my life, this next chapter with this new, beautiful man Adam. It’s not that one love outshines the other. It’s just one love prepared me for the next.”

As Holker continues to heal and inspire, her memoir promises to be a powerful testament to resilience, love, and the human spirit’s ability to endure and thrive despite unimaginable loss.
