Allison Holker Boss Makes First Red Carpet Appearance Since Death of Husband tWitch

Allison Holker made her first red carpet appearance since her husband Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' death.

The Dancing With the Stars alum attended NAMI West Los Angeles' first annual Mental Health Gala at the Pacific Design Center, alongside 15-year-old daughter Weslie.

The mother-daughter duo received the Heart of a Champion Award at the event, which also included a special tribute to Boss where they honored his life and legacy, as well as his Move with Kindness Foundation. The ceremony was presented by Derek Hough, Jenna Dewan, and DJ Ruckus.

The two both wore long black cutout dresses, with Holker's featuring one shoulder and a single cutout along her waist, the edges lined with lace, and her daughter wearing a spaghetti-strap gown that featured symmetrical cutouts on either side of her waist covered in mesh fabric.

Founded in 1979, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) is the US' biggest grassroots mental health organization, "dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness."

Boss died by suicide on December 13, 2022, at 40 years old. He married Holker in 2013, and they had two children together, Maddox and Zaia. Weslie, who was born in 2008 and whose biological father is Holker's former fiancé, was adopted by Boss after he married Holker.

In a recent chat with People, which marked the first time Holker had spoken to press since Boss' death, she opened up about Boss hiding his mental health struggles. "No one had any inkling that he was low. He didn't want people to know," she explained. "He just wanted to be everyone's Superman and protector."

She also noted that he was in high spirits at home with his family. "We'd have so many random conversations, and there was so much laughter," Holker recalled. "Our love was so real and so loud. We always told people our house was like a choreographed dance."
