The 36-year-old professional dancer honored her youngest daughter Zaia’s fifth birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram.
“My babygirl ZAIAs BIRTHDAY today!” she wrote proudly. “She’s 5 going on 20. I couldn’t be prouder of her progress,” she added. “My angel has a heart of gold and a lion’s roar 😂😂, and I’m completely thrilled by her!”
Holker encouraged her followers to “wish her a happy birthday and another year filled with love and light!” In her birthday post, the So You Think You Can Dance alum shared four photos, beginning with an image of Zaia running on a carpet in a blue and white striped dress.
Holker reflects on the love she shares with her children, honoring Zaia’s birthday and spirit
Zaia is seen wearing her signature curly hair and black glasses. Another snapshot shows Holker holding Zaia while standing in a doorway, dressed in a white long-sleeve button-up shirt and matching pants, with layered necklaces and bold eye makeup.
The third image, a throwback, captures the mother-daughter pair looking at each other with wide eyes, hands covering their mouths. Holker wears a black off-the-shoulder top, while Zaia sports a black-and-white patterned jacket.
The final image shows Zaia sitting in a wicker chair with a gentle smile. Holker shares Zaia, along with daughter Weslie Renae, 16, and son Maddox Laurel, 8, with her late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who passed away at age 40 in December 2022.
In June, Holker opened up in a PEOPLE interview at the 2024 Critics Choice Real TV Awards, sharing how her children have been coping with their father’s passing.
“Our family has always been close, but now there’s a new level of respect, patience, and understanding,” she said. “The conversations I share with my children now are unlike anything I’ve seen in other families.”
Holker reflected that their strengthened bond, born from a place of loss, has only drawn them closer.
