Allison Holker has opened up her heart to love once again, over a year and a half after the tragic passing of her husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss. The former “So You Think You Can Dance” star made her relationship with Adam Edmunds, a tech CEO, public when the couple posed for photos together during New York Fashion Week in September 2024.
Holker had hinted at her new relationship a month earlier, sharing a subtle post on Instagram. Holker, in a conversation with PEOPLE, reflected on her emotional journey and the time it took to feel ready to embrace love again. “It’s a new chapter for me, and it took a while to get here.
I wasn’t sure if I would ever find myself in this place again,” she shared. “But now, I’m genuinely happy. I feel appreciated, understood, and fully loved, and I’m grateful for that.”
Her new relationship emerged months after she spoke openly about the possibility of finding love again, following the loss of Boss, who died in December 2022.
In a June 2024 interview, she expressed optimism about rediscovering joy and love in her life. “I’ve always been someone who believes in living fully,” Holker said. “Even though I’ve faced a lot, I still hold onto the idea of living a life filled with love.”
Holker’s new partner, Edmunds, is a successful entrepreneur based in Utah. He grew up with aspirations of becoming a heart surgeon but later shifted to business, earning a master’s degree in accounting from Brigham Young University.
His career took a turn when he was inspired by a professor to pursue entrepreneurship, leading him to build and sell multiple companies, mainly within the tech sector.
Despite his private nature, Edmunds is also a father, just like Holker. While he rarely shares personal details about his family, he has occasionally posted glimpses of life with his son, Cole, on social media.
Holker first teased her relationship with Edmunds in August 2024, sharing a photo on Instagram that showed their shadows holding hands. The post received an outpouring of support from fans, with many applauding her for moving forward and teaching her children that it’s okay to live and love again.
The couple made their official public debut during New York Fashion Week, attending alice + olivia’s Spring 2025 collection show and spending time together at the US Open.
In the days leading up to the event, Holker shared a playful Instagram post, joking about how Edmunds had influenced her to break her 15-year streak of avoiding McDonald’s.
Holker had previously spoken about her process of “relearning” herself in this new phase of life. “I’m embracing growth and trying to figure out what comes next — both personally and professionally, including dating,” she explained.
