Holker made strides in her healing journey by closing the chapter on a significant part of her past. In November, The Blast reported that the star took a major step forward by selling their cherished Encino family home.
Once filled with joy, laughter, and the couple's dance videos, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence found new owners, symbolizing a new beginning for Holker. According to real estate records, the home, initially listed for $3,795,000, was sold for $3,525,000.
The TV personality also transitioned into a newly constructed, larger home in a poignant move. The stunning 5,800-square-foot residence is complete with six bathrooms, a movie theater, and designer finishes.
The Widow Paid Touching Tribute To Her Late Husband
The emotional decision to sell the Encino residence came nearly a year after Boss's tragic death by suicide in December 2022. In a heartfelt moment of remembrance, the TV personality paid tribute to Boss on what would have been his 41st birthday in September 2023.
Holker shared touching photos of herself and their three children -- Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia, visiting Boss's graveside. Alongside the photos, the "DWTS" alum wrote a moving caption:
"We honor our beautiful, sweet, kind and loving Stephen tWitch Laurel Boss, forever on our hearts and minds carrying us, guiding us, and lifting us. We feel your presence daily and will forever be grateful for the beautiful times we shared. We feel your arms wrapping around us and holding us up today. Happy birthday my love @sir_twitch_alot."

"For me, at the end of the day, this is a way for me to give back to what we are, and I feel like to heal for both of us and to showcase our love again and celebrate him and celebrate what we had and celebrate great dance."

Reflecting on her late husband's contributions, Holker spoke passionately about his influence in the dance industry.
