He wore this character of Twitch and it it it
did become a part of who he was,
but that extroverted personality was not natural for him.
Allison Holker is opening up about late husband Steven,
Twitch boss. During the May 29th episode of Taylor Lautner
and wife Tay Lautner's podcast The Squeeze,
the dancer shares that the Twitch the public knew and
the man she was married to were two very different
people,
so Steven. It's interesting as I know Miss Stephen,
a lot of people knew him as Twitch.
Very two different humans.
He wore this character of Twitch and it it,
it did become a part of who he was,
but that extroverted personality was not natural for him.
So when he would go out as Twitch and and
make sure he's spreading all this love and joy and
positivity and be dancing all the time for people and
an entertainer and such.
It would. It would drain his energy.
Steven, who ended his own life in December 2022,
shared three children with Allison,
14 year old stepdaughter Wesley,
as well as seven-year old son Maddox and three-year old
daughter Saya,
with Allison revealing that he would confide in her and
their eldest daughter about his struggles,
maintaining his upbeat and outgoing public persona.
And he would have to come home and he would
always tell me and my oldest daughter at the time,
because my others, they were younger,
they didn't hear these things.
But our home was his safe place.
So he'd come home and have to,
like, really recharge his battery.
Yeah. And.
When you're saying recharge your battery,
that also comes with the state of depression because you
get really low.
She goes on to detail that even though Steven was
so beloved by his fans,
he didn't always feel as though he deserved it When
he would receive so much love.
He almost didn't think he deserved that love,
so we'd give it right back.
That's why he was such a giver because if you
receive something,
he's like, but I need to give it to everyone
else because that's how that's how much he loved people.
And while Allison reflects that she now understands that her
husband of almost a decade was severely depressed,
unfortunately, she just didn't see it then.
But at the end of the day,
I think there was maybe extra help he needed that
I was unaware of at the time talking to a
therapist,
maybe some medication as well.
But I, I was unaware,
you know, and I think he also was because I
think he also thought he was taking care of it
because you'd be like,
I'm low. Like, give me some time to like.
To build it back up,
yeah.
