The popular DJ on Ellen Degeneres‘ talk show, Stephen “tWitch” Boss has committed suicide at age of 40.
According to the US Sun, Stephen’s wife, Allison Holker, ran into an LAPD station on Tuesday, frantic because Stephen had left home without his car, which was unusual for him.
“We’re told, a short time later, police got a call for a shooting at an L.A. hotel … and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” the report stated. His wife, Holker also added, “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.
“Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.” Stephen began DJing on Ellen’s show in 2014 and stayed with her until the show ended in May 2022. In 2020, he was appointed as an executive producer on the show.
He got his big break in showbiz in 2008, when he finished second on “So You Think You Can Dance.
Stephen hosted several reality shows, most notably “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings,” which he and Allison co-hosted on Disney. The couple met while competing on the all-star season and they married in 2013.
Allison and Stephen had just celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary on Saturday. They had three kids. Stephen was 40 years old.
