Allison Holker has found love again.
The celebrated dancer and So You Think You Can Dance alum announced her engagement to tech CEO Adam Edmunds on Thursday, sharing the joyful news nearly two years after they began dating.
For Holker, 38, who lost her husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss to suicide in December 2022, this moment represents both a new chapter and a testament to healing.
The announcement comes with heartfelt gratitude for second chances and the blending of two families navigating life after loss.
A Romantic Proposal Turned Birthday Surprise
Holker revealed the engagement through a series of romantic photos posted to Instagram, showing Edmunds down on one knee surrounded by countless red roses.
We’re ENGAGED! It was the most romantic night of my life! I am so in love with you Adam.
In the images, Holker wore a stunning red satin dress while Edmunds dressed in a white button-up shirt, black sport coat, and pants. But the visual romance was only part of the story.
Edmunds orchestrated what Holker believed would be a surprise birthday party, only to transform the celebration into a proposal party. The evening featured a special performance by singer Clinton Kane, who serenaded the couple with their song, “I Guess I’m in Love.”
Gratitude for Healing and New Beginnings
Holker’s Instagram caption revealed the profound impact Edmunds has had on her life and her children’s lives since entering their world.
Baby, I am forever grateful for you and the impact you have had in my life and my kids lives. I am a better person because of you. You helped me find me again and showed me how to love.
The dancer emphasized feeling safe and supported, describing Edmunds as “my person” who stands by her side each morning.
Perhaps most touching was Holker’s acknowledgment of the blended family dynamic. Edmunds also has children, and their union represents two families coming together after experiencing their own journeys.
You and your kids coming into our lives has been the biggest blessing.
A Relationship Built in the Public Eye
Holker and Edmunds began dating approximately a year and a half after Boss’s death. The couple kept their relationship relatively private initially, with Holker soft-launching her boyfriend through a subtle Instagram post in August 2024.
They made their relationship official at New York Fashion Week in September 2024, posing together publicly for the first time. The decision to step into the spotlight together marked a significant moment for Holker, who had been navigating grief while raising three children.
Holker shares Maddox and Zaia with Boss, along with Weslie, her daughter from a previous relationship whom Boss adopted during their marriage.
Navigating Loss and Controversy
Holker was married to Boss, the beloved dancer and Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ, from 2013 until his death by suicide at age 40 in December 2022.
In December 2024, Holker marked the third anniversary of her late husband’s passing with an emotional Instagram tribute. She shared photos and videos of Boss with their children, celebrating the memories they created together.
Today is the 3 year Stephen tWitch Boss anniversary day 12/13/2022. We honor you and cherish all of our beautiful memories with you. We loved laughing, creating and dancing. We will love you forever.
Holker faced public criticism last year following the release of her memoir about Boss. Family and friends of the late dancer called the book a “smear campaign” after Holker revealed that Boss had hidden drugs, including mushrooms, pills, and other substances that she discovered after his death.
Responding to backlash, Holker defended her decision to share these details publicly.
In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.
She stated her intention was to help others who might recognize similar warning signs in their own loved ones.
Moving Forward With Love and Support
Holker’s engagement announcement reflects a woman who has worked through tremendous grief to find joy again. Her words about Edmunds demonstrate genuine appreciation for someone who helped her rediscover herself.
Adam, I will always support you, hold you and love you. You are my everything Adam.
The dancer concluded her announcement by referencing their song, the Clinton Kane track that played during the proposal, suggesting that music continues to be a healing and connecting force in her life.
For Holker and her children, this engagement represents hope after heartbreak. Finding love again doesn’t erase the past but rather honors it by choosing to remain open to life’s possibilities.
As both families blend together, they’re creating something new while carrying forward the love and memories that shaped them. Holker’s journey reminds us that grief and joy can coexist, and that healing often comes through connection with others who understand loss.
