In a recent episode of Nick Viall's The Viall Files podcast, professional dancer Allison Holker Boss opened up about navigating her love life following the death of her late husband, Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, in December 2022. Acknowledging that her love life has become a 'hot topic,' Allison shared her thoughts and emotions surrounding the possibility of finding love again.
As she grieves and works through her emotions, Allison expressed the need to not only learn to love herself but also find answers to complex questions. She pondered whether she could 'like someone else again' and 'love someone else again' while still holding love for her late husband. It was a deeply introspective process for her, as she grappled with these intricate emotions and complexities.
'It took me a long time to accept all of those things and those complexities of everything. But at the end of the day, I love life. So would I shy away from it?' Allison shared with host Nick Viall. Despite the challenges, she recognizes that life is a beautiful journey filled with experiences, adventures, and endless possibilities. She has always been a lover of life and believes that love and life are intertwined in many ways.
While she is not actively seeking someone special at the moment, Allison expressed her openness to new experiences. She has seen the darker places and worked through various processes necessary to heal. Now, she chooses to embrace life and keep her heart open to whatever may come next. Rather than closing herself off from love, she intends to continue cherishing every moment and allowing life's wonders to unfold organically.
The passing of Stephen Boss in December 2022 came as a sudden and devastating blow to Allison and their family.
