Allison Holker and her kids brought the magic of Hogwarts to life this Halloween, stepping out in enchanting "Harry Potter" inspired costumes that captured the spirit of the beloved franchise.
This Halloween marks the second one the family has celebrated without Holker’s late husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, who died by suicide in December 2022.
Boss' absence has undoubtedly cast a shadow over family holidays, but Allison Holker has openly shared her journey of healing, expressing her commitment to creating joyful memories with their children in his honor.

Each family member seemed to represent a different Hogwarts house, with Holker blending the traits of multiple Hogwarts houses, wearing a Gryffindor tie paired with a Ravenclaw robe—perhaps symbolizing both the courage and wisdom she embodies as she moves forward from the loss of her late husband. She completed her look with a gray skirt, embracing the classic wizarding style.
Maddox embraced his Slytherin side, wearing a green-trimmed robe that suited the house of ambition and mystery, while Weslie represented Hufflepuff in a robe adorned with yellow trim, reflecting loyalty and kindness.
Young Zaia, though her house remains unconfirmed, is likely Ravenclaw. However, she added a playful twist to her look, sporting a "Spider-Man" outfit beneath her robe, bridging her love of Hogwarts with a nod to Peter Parker.

Last year, the professional dancer gave fans a look into her Halloween festivities with her three kids, sharing a series of sweet and spooky moments on Instagram.
Her youngest, Zaia, was all smiles as she celebrated in a black-and-purple dress, fully transformed into a little witch for the occasion. In one of the photos, Zaia playfully wore a classic pointed witch hat over her face while posing with her family.
Meanwhile, Maddox chose to dress as his favorite superhero, Spider-Man, with Holker affectionately dubbing him “Spider Maddox” in the post’s caption. He wore a full-body suit, complete with the iconic mask, and even struck a classic Spider-Man crouch for one of the shots.
tWitch Tragically Took His Own Life
Stephen “tWitch” Boss, beloved DJ and dancer, tragically took his own life last year at the age of 40.
As The Blast previously reported, Boss had checked into a motel less than a mile from his home in Los Angeles, carrying only a small bag and booking the room for a single night. According to motel staff, he did not appear distressed or visibly upset upon arrival, which made the events that followed all the more shocking.
When Boss missed his checkout time the following morning, staff members entered his room to check on him, only to find him deceased. Authorities later confirmed that he had left a suicide note in the motel room, although the specific details were not disclosed.
The cause of death was confirmed to be a gunshot wound to the head, by suicide.
Maid Who Found tWitch's Body Speaks Out
In an emotional interview with Inside Edition, the maid who discovered Stephen “tWitch” Boss’s body shared the impact of the tragic experience. She recounted the moment she entered the room to find the beloved DJ and dancer, describing it as profoundly traumatic.
After the police concluded their investigation, she and her team were tasked with cleaning the room. “We cleaned the room, but it was really upsetting,” she said. “I pray for his family.”
Allison Holker Speaks Out Following The Death Of Her Husband
Holker released a statement following the news, telling fans, “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us. Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”
“To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt,” she added. “I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children.”
“Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you," she concluded.
Holker is set to release a memoir, "This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light," which will be a reflection of her approach to life over the last two years.
