Allison Holker and boyfriend Adam Edmunds are engaged after nearly two years of dating.
“We’re ENGAGED! It was the most romantic night of my life!” the dancer, 38, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 12, alongside a slideshow of pictures from the romantic proposal. “I am so in love with you Adam.”
Holker donned a red dress while Edmunds, 45, wore a white button up shirt, black sport coat and pants. The couple posed in front of a red floral backdrop where Edmunds got down on one knee.
“Baby, I am forever grateful for you and the impact you have had in my life and my kids lives,” Holker continued. “I am a better person because of you. You helped me find me again and showed me how to love. Every morning I wake up I feel safe knowing you are my person at my side. You and your kids coming into our lives has been the biggest blessing.”
Holker shared that Edmunds, 45, “surprised” her with a “surprise birthday party” that ended up turning into a “surprise proposal party.”
“The whole night was magic and you had every detail thought out to make it even more special,” she gushed. “Thank you for bringing all the people we love together to celebrate our love.”
Edmunds also surprised Holker by enlisting the help of musician Clinton Kane to serenade their favorite song of his, “I Guess I’m in Love.” Holker expressed her gratitude to everyone who played a part in the special night and to her now-fiancé.
“Adam, I will always support you, hold you and love you!” she added. You are my everything Adam.”
News of the pair’s engagement comes more than three years after the death of Holker’s first husband, Stephen “tWitch” Boss at age 40. The pair shared three children: Weslie Renae, Maddox Laurel and Zaia.
After meeting on So You Think You Can Dance in 2010, Holker and Boss tied the knot in 2013 and remained together until his tragic death in December 2022. (Boss died by suicide.)
Since his passing, Holker has continued to pay tribute to her late husband.
“We honor love by finding peace and gratitude in the memories of the ones that have transformed our souls forever,” she captioned a December 2023 Instagram post paying tribute to Boss. “On our anniversary I find myself in a space of tranquility embracing so many beautiful moments felt and experienced. With my whole heart I celebrate our love.”
Two years after Boss’ death, Holker shared that she was seeing someone new by posting a photo of her holding hands with a mystery man. In September 2024, she revealed that the mystery man was Edmunds and the couple made their red carpet debut at the Alice + Olivia spring 2024 collection show for New York Fashion Week.
That same month, Holker exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about finding a second chance at love.
“I never knew that I could have this again,” she exclusively told Us. “I actually feel like I found such a great love and support system from someone.”
Holker also gushed about how she and Edmunds complement each other perfectly.
“We understand each other and we’re so supportive of each other,” she continued. “He’s just someone that stepped into my life, and it’s been so beautiful and lovely.”
