Allison Holker,Burley Garcia who was married to Stephen "tWitch" Boss until his death in 2022, is cluing fans into a new love in her life.
The dancer and "So You Think You Can Dance" judge, 36, on Wednesday shared a simple Instagram post seemingly soft launching a new romance. In the photo, a shadow on the ground appears to show her holding hands with another person. The caption consists of just a red heart emoji.
Holker's community took to the post's comments to show their support. Amanda Kloots – whose husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, died from complications due to COVID-19 in 2020 – wrote: "Very happy for you."
Holker has three children: 16-year-old Weslie Fowler, Maddox Laurel Boss, 8, and Zaia Boss, 4. Stephen Boss, a choreographer, DJ and former co-host of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," died by suicide at age 40 in December 2022, days after his and Holker's ninth wedding anniversary.

She also opened up about the journey she's been through over the past year and a half. Holker has often been occupied by navigating her own feelings as well as making herself available for the grieving process of her children and community.
"There was so much love and joy that my family has learned and experienced, and that is the reason of this pain. That is something beautiful," she said. "I had 13 magical years that a lot of people don't get to have. I got to have that. I got to have that grand love."

Holker also addressed public opinion on how she portrays her grief.
"I am such a public figure that people have a lot of opinions in how I should be handling myself, how I should be handling the grief and what they expect to see, what they expect me to say, what they expect to hear from me," she said.
"I've always been a person that I have to do things my way in my own pacing in my own time and that's going to come sometimes with a lot of emotion for other people," she added. "And I think I've just had to challenge myself to stay my own course because I have to go through this at my time to be the best version of myself and the best version of my kids. And then I can come forward and use my voice and help as many people as I can."
