Allison Holker is reflecting on navigating life with her family after their insurmountable loss.
Four months after the death of her husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, the choreographer is opening up about the gut-wrenching conversations she’s had with the couple’s three children: Weslie, 14, Maddox, 7, and Zaia, 3.
“To us, Daddy’s in the stars,” she told Today‘s Hoda Kotb during a May 3 interview. “So, we can go outside and talk to him whenever we want…They just ask, ‘When is daddy coming back?’ and that’s a really hard one.”
It’s a heartbreaking question that Allison, 35, explained has been asked repeatedly as time goes on.
“And then it’ll be a couple weeks later, ‘But does he come back when he’s older? Like, when Daddy’s older he’ll come back?'” she continued. “But they are still children and still obviously want him here.”
In December, tWitch died by suicide at the age of 40. And as Allison shared, their family’s grieving process has been an emotional time.
