Holker’s comment section was flooded with well wishes from celebrities, friends and fans. “❤️❤️Love has the ability to renew itself even after the hardest of losses,” one person wrote, adding, “Finding the courage to open your heart again after such a journey speaks to the resilience of your spirit and the beauty of the love you shared.

In January 2024, Allison Holker spoke about her future for the first time. “It was very hard for me to learn to like myself again and to learn to love myself again,” she said in a conversation on Nick Viall‘S The Viall files Podcast. “And then also: Could I like someone else again? Could I love someone else again while still liking someone else and loving someone else?”
“I find myself in a very complex situation.”

In May 2024, Allison said in a heartfelt conversation about Taylor Lautner and his wife Tay Lautner’s The Squeeze podcast said that tWitch was just one facet of Stephen’s complex personality. According to Holker, tWitch, the public persona, was always ready to light up a room with joy and enthusiasm, while Stephen, the man behind the stage name, had a much more reserved and thoughtful nature.

Allison’s reflections also illuminate a deeper aspect of Stephen’s character. “Sometimes I wonder if when he received so much love, he almost thought he didn’t deserve it, and so he immediately gave it back. That’s why he was such a giver,” she mused.
