Allison Holker is looking back on the dancer, beloved TV personality, and her husband of nine years, Stephen "tWitch" Boss.

Saturday marked the three-year anniversary of Boss' death by suicide, on Dec. 13, 2022. Holker took to Instagram to commemorate the somber occasion, sharing a carousel of images and videos of the couple and their three children, Maddox, Zaia, and Weslie, Holker's daughter from a previous relationship, whom Boss adopted.

"Today is the 3 year Stephen tWitch Boss anniversary day 12/13/2022. We honor you and cherish all of our beautiful memories with you. We loved laughing, creating and dancing. We will love you forever," she wrote in the caption of the post.

Holker then shouted out fans who have kept Boss' memory alive by continuing to post their tributes and memories of the media star.

"Saw some beautiful posts yesterday as we lead up to the day. Thank you for your endless love and support. It means the world to me and my kids," she continued.

Several of the couple's famous friends and chosen family members lent their support via comments. *Twilight *star Taylor Lautner, a favorite guest on the *Ellen Degeneres Show *throughout Boss' time as a guest host and co-executive producer, commented a simple "🫶🏼❤️," while *High School Musical*'s Corbin Bleu commented that Boss is "always in our hearts."

Boss' former boss, Ellen DeGeneres, shared her own tribute to the dancer, actor, and producer on Saturday.

"I planted a tree for tWitch at my campus in Rwanda. This is what it looks like today. Look at all the beautiful life it nourishes every day. I miss you friend," she wrote, over a series of four images of a sapling growing tall on her compound at the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund charity near the central African country's Volcanoes National Park.**

Holker courted controversy at the beginning of the year for some claims made in the press tour for and advance excerpts from her memoir, *This Far*.

Some of Boss' family and friends accused Holker of sensationalizing stories of his drug use prior to his death and profiting off his memory. Boss family friend Courtney Ann Platt even referred to the book as "the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life." Holker eventually responded to her critics by clarifying that her "only intention in writing the book is to share my own story as well as part of my life with Stephen to help other people."**
