Ellen DeGeneres’ longtime DJ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss enjoys stroll with wife Allison Holker and kids

He may best be known for working as the resident DJ on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

But Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ favorite role may be one as a doting husband and father.

The 38-year-old television personality was seen enjoying a neighborhood stroll with wife Allison Holker and their children in Los Angeles on Sunday. 

As the hip hop dancer soaked up some family time with his longtime love, he dutifully pushed their one-year-old daughter Zaia’s stroller as Maddox, four, raced down the street on a tricycle.  

For their outing around Los Angeles, the choreographer made a bold statement in an aqua bucket hat, black trousers and a blue to red ombré flannel shirt. 

Meanwhile, Holker sported a pair of skintight red leggings and a matching fuzzy sweater, which she paired with pink tennis shoes. 

Little Maddox appeared to be having the time of his life as he wore a Spider-Man costume and stayed close to his parents. 

The duo’s eldest Weslie Fowler, 12, who is a child from Holker’s previous relationship, did not appear to be present.  

Boss’ latest outing comes less than a week after his boss, Ellen DeGeneres, tested positive for COVID-19 and has put their show on hiatus until after the holidays. 

On Thursday afternoon, the television host wrote on Twitter: ‘Hi Everyone, I want to let you all know that I tested positive for Covid-19. Fortunately, I’m feeling fine right now.’ 

‘Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified, and I am following all proper CDC guidelines,’ she continued. ‘I’ll see you all again after the holidays. Please stay safe and healthy.’  

Although DeGeneres typically tapes episodes of The Ellen Show at least a day in advance, Thursday afternoon’s show was a re-run of an episode that first ran on October 15.

It also meant the cancellation of the final day of DeGeneres’ well-known ’12 Days of Giveaways’ holiday promotional series, which typically draws big sponsors and high ratings.

A promo that aired during the re-run teased the return of giveaways days ‘tomorrow’, suggesting some version of the final day may air on Friday. A spokesperson for the show did not immediately respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com. 

Last year, the ’12 Days of Giveaways’ promotion ran later in the season, and DeGeneres broke for the holidays after airing the final day on December 23.

This year, the show is giving its daily gifts to frontline workers, first responders, medical workers and families hardest impacted by the pandemic.

The host’s coronavirus diagnosis comes just a day after a scathing Buzzfeed News article claimed that she was struggling to attract sponsors and A-list guests for this year’s holiday giveaway series – claims that were hotly disputed by DeGeneres’ camp.

A current employee of The Ellen Show told the outlet that the show’s giveaways segments had floundered in the wake of reports about the show’s ‘toxic’ workplace culture. 

‘In a typical year, ’12 Days of Giveaways’ is huge. We’ve basically claimed Christmas on daytime TV. When you think of Christmas on TV, you think of The Ellen Show,’ the employee said.

‘Everyone wants to be in the audience. Everyone wants the gifts. And so we line up all these crazy sponsors, and people love it. But this year, our ’12 Days’ is more condensed. We don’t have as many sponsors.’

However, a source close to the show strenuously disputed the claims as inaccurate, telling DailyMail.com that the typical ’12 Days of Giveaways’ format, which often focuses on lavish trips and vacations, had to be radically changed due to the realities of the pandemic. 

The show’s Season 18 guests have included Matthew McConaughey, Justin Bieber, Jane Fonda, Chance the Rapper, Kristen Bell and Orlando Bloom, among others.

Many guest appearances have been via video link due to the pandemic, but some have also been conducted in-studio.

The Buzzfeed article also cited a source close to the show who defended the Christmas promotion, saying that vacation giveaways were off the table in the pandemic.

‘There are travel restrictions and she’s giving gifts that are appropriate for the world right now,’ the source said. ‘Maybe it looks and feels differently, but that’s not a reflection on her or the business, but that’s directly impacted by the state of the world and the kind of show that’s being done now.’
