Heavy/Getty A DWTS stepped out for the first time without her husband.
Former “Dancing With the Stars” pro Allison Holker has made her first public appearance following the death of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss.
On May 30, 2023, Holker stepped out with her three kids, Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia. The family walked the red carpet at the premiere of the new animated film, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles. The film was released on June 2, 2023.
“So grateful to take my kids to see @spiderversemovie #spiderverse ! Their eyes lit up when I told them we could see it and the movie was 1000% everything we hoped for! It was amazing!! Thank you for having us! We had such a great night,” Holker captioned an Instagram post.
This marks the first time that Holker has walked a rep carpet since Boss’ death in December 2022. Boss died by suicide in a motel not too far from the home he shared with Holker, according to TMZ.
