Allison Holker has announced her engagement, marking a new chapter three years after the death of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
The professional dancer shared the news on Instagram on Thursday, revealing that her partner, Adam Edmunds, proposed during a deeply personal celebration surrounded by family and friends.
“We’re engaged! It was the most romantic night of my life!” Holker, 38, wrote alongside photos of the proposal, which unfolded with a stunning red floral display.
She added, “I’m so in love with you Adam,” adding that the moment had major emotional significance for her.
The announcement comes three years after the death of Holker’s husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who died by suicide in December 2022 at the age of 40.
Holker and Boss were married from 2013 until his death and share three children: Weslie, 17, Maddox, 9, and Zaia, 6.
In her post, Holker spoke at length about the impact Edmunds had on her and her family’s lives.
“Baby, I am forever grateful to you and the impact you have had in my life and the lives of my children. I am a better person because of you. You helped me find myself and showed me how to love. Every morning I wake up I feel safe knowing that you are my person by my side,” she wrote.
She also described the blending of their families as “the biggest blessing,” noting that Edmunds has three children from a previous relationship.
Holker explained that the proposal took place during what she thought would be a surprise 38th birthday party, which later turned into something even more significant.
“The whole evening was magical and you thought of every detail to make it even more special,” she said, thanking Edmunds for bringing the people they love together to celebrate the moment.
The evening also included a live performance of their song, I guess I’m in loveby Clinton Kane himself.
The dancer concluded her post with a promise to her fiancé, writing, “Adam, I will always have your back, hug you, and love you. You are everything to me, Adam.”
Holker and Adam Edmunds made their first public appearance as a couple during New York Fashion Week in September 2024, about a year and a half after Boss’ death.
Since then, she has spoken openly about her grief and healing, including the challenges she faced following criticism over a memoir in which she discussed her late husband’s struggles.
Holker later said her intention was to help others recognize the warning signs she thought they missed.
In December, she marked the third anniversary of Boss’ death with an Instagram tribute, honoring his memory and thanking fans for their continued support.
“We honor you and cherish all our beautiful memories with you. We loved to laugh, create and dance. We will love you forever,” she wrote at the time.
