How ‘Conflict’ Between Allison Holker and tWitch’s Family Led to NDAs
Years after Stephen “tWitch” Boss’ funeral, his family made headlines when they referenced NDAs Allison Holker allegedly had them sign.
After several of Boss’ loved ones made the claim, TMZ obtained the document on Monday, January 13, reporting that family members are financially blocked from “collecting any money from a memoir about their relationship and his death.” According to the outlet, Boss’ family and others who signed the paperwork agreed to give Holker any money they received from press opportunities and books about him.
A source exclusively told Us Weekly that when Boss was alive, he “asked his family to sign his NDAs, when there were things involving his kids, like birthdays, which is commonplace for celebrities to do.”
The insider added that 100 percent of the proceeds from Holker’s upcoming memoir, This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, are going to mental health charities. “She is making no money off this book,” the source claimed. (Holker previously shared that she planned to give the profits from the book to the foundation she set up in Boss’ memory.)
Allison Holker’s Daughter Claims tWitch’s Family Ruined Funeral Over NDAs
In an excerpt from Holker’s memoir obtained by Us, the dancer wrote that there was “conflict” over how Boss’ body would be displayed at the service. Holker, 36, claimed his family “insisted” on an open casket because of an African American tradition.
Holker ultimately agreed that a “small group” of people could view the open casket before it was closed for the rest of the wake. However, Holker didn’t want there to be any photographs taken during the casket viewing, which she thought would be an “obvious” choice.
“I couldn’t risk any photo getting leaked to the press or splashed across social media platforms and becoming the lasting image that people would have of him. My children absolutely, positively could not stumble upon such a photograph at some later date,” she wrote. “At the advice of my lawyers, I insisted that everybody who viewed the open casket sign a nondisclosure agreement to protect Stephen’s privacy, a requirement that exasperated his family. ‘If we have to sign NDAs,’ they said, ‘then everybody has to sign NDAs.’ ‘No problem,’ I replied.”
Boss died by suicide at age 40 in December 2022. More than two years later, Holker received backlash from fans, fellow So You Think You Can Dance alums and Boss’ family for sharing personal details about his life in her upcoming memoir. Holker’s eldest daughter defended her earlier this month — and explained why the NDAs were necessary at Boss’ service.
“Y’all love to argue about the NDAs,” Weslie, 16, said in a Friday, January 10, Instagram video. (Weslie is Holker’s daughter from a previous relationship. Holker and Boss shared son Maddox, 8, and daughter Zaia, 5.)
She continued, “But in one day, we had an open casket viewing for Stephen. We had a funeral, and then we had a week, and my mom asked for NDAs to be signed when we were seeing Stephen’s body because God forbid somebody that went to that took a photo of Stephen and put it on the internet or shared it with somebody else. That’s the type of thing that NDAs are for. It’s not so you can never talk about Stephen.”

Tim Tebow Through the Years: His Life in Photos
Between his time in the NFL and playing minor league baseball and his stint as a sports broadcaster on ESPN, Tim Tebow has really done it all.
The athlete started out as a star football player at the University of Florida, where he played under coach Urban Meyer. After a successful collegiate career, Tebow was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He played as the team’s starting quarterback for two years.
In 2016, after nearly seven years in the NFL, Tebow declared his passion for baseball and signed with the New York Mets’ minor league team, where he played until 2021.
Aside from sports, Tebow is also a successful ESPN football analyst. “I want to do a good job [at broadcasting],” Tebow said in a 2014 interview with USA Today. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. I’m a believer in that. I want to be the best at this that I can be.”

Jessica Simpson’s Family Guide: Meet Her Sister, 3 Kids and More
Jessica Simpson’s famous family has been making headlines through the years.
After Jessica rose to stardom in 1999 with the release of her debut album Sweet Kisses, her younger sister, Ashlee Simpson, served as one of her back-up dancers before embarking on her own career in the music industry.
While continuing to pursue her music career, Jessica wed Nick Lachey in 2002 and became the star of the MTV reality series Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica. After the couple’s divorce in 2005, Johnson met Eric Johnson in 2010.
Six months later, Johnson popped the question to Jessica. The pair said “I do” in 2014 and went on to welcome daughter Maxwell, son Ace and daughter Birdie in 2012, 2013, 2019, respectively.
“Being a mother is the best opportunity and challenge I’ve ever been blessed with in life,” Jessica told Us Weekly in May 2018. “Right now, my kids are in this amazing stage where I’m really listening to them without judgment and they’re teaching me so much. These little innocent kids teach me so much about life.”
In 2025, Jessica shared she and Johnson split.

Tina Ann Drew
Jessica’s mom and dad, Joe Simpson, got divorced in 2012. Years later, Jessica reflected on how their separation impacted her life.
“I think when your parents are divorced when you’re older, it’s so bizarre,” Jessica exclusively told Us in March 2021. “I wouldn’t change that, although I feel like it made it harder for me to accept other people in their lives. … I didn’t really know what to do with it. I didn’t know what was friendship, what wasn’t. I didn’t know if they still were what they taught me and waited to have sex until they got married.”
Joe Simpson
Jessica shared in her 2020 memoir, Open Book, that Joe told her about his separation from Tina when she was in the hospital giving birth to her daughter Maxwell. Jessica took her mother’s side in the divorce, which led to a strain between her and her dad.
“They had been married for thirty-four years, and I had a hard time being around them together since they’d stopped loving each other,” she wrote. “I was blindsided by this news, which triggered his natural salesmanship. He pitched it to me as a positive thing, ‘You gave me the confidence … You gave me the way out.’ Great, I thought to myself, ‘I broke my own heart.”
Jessica ultimately mended her relationship with her dad.
Ashlee Simpson
Ashlee’s younger sister went on to welcome kids who are close in age to Jessica’s children. Ashlee, who welcomed son Bronx in 2008 with ex-husband Pete Wentz, told Us in 2012 that Jessica needed a little guidance when it came to being a parent.
“I am so proud of her!” she said. “There were small things here and there [I advised her on] that you ask your friends and other mothers [about] but other than that, she’s great.”
After splitting from Wentz, Ashlee tied the knot with Evan Ross in 2014. The couple welcomed Jagger in 2015 and Ziggy in 2020.
Eric Johnson
Following his divorce with Keri D’Angelo, Johnson met Jessica in 2010 and proposed six months later. The pair tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed Maxwell, Ace and Birdie.
In January 2025, Jessica shared that she and Johnson went their separate ways. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she said in a statement to Us. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

Why There Are No Plans for a Crossover Between 'The Rookie' and '9-1-1'
Fans hoping for a crossover between The Rookie and 9-1-1 are likely to be disappointed.
The Rookie showrunner Alexi Hawley shut down the idea of their show sharing scenes with fellow ABC series 9-1-1, telling TV Line on Monday, January 13, “No, we haven’t really talked about that. To me, that’s a hard crossover.”
Hawley clarified the reason why there haven’t been attempts to combine the two shows.
“Just because you have an expectation that you’re going to see [9-1-1 characters] all the time,” Hawley noted about how a crossover would open the door for more. “If we’re both in the same universe in Los Angeles, how are we not stumbling over them all the time?”
In 2018, Fox premiered 9-1-1 and introduced viewers to the professional and personal lives of Los Angeles first responders. The show, which starred Angela Bassett, Peter Krause, Oliver Stark, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Guzman and Kenneth Choi, remained on the network until 2023.
What to Know About ABC's '9-1-1' Spinoff — Including Who Could Make Cameos
After Fox canceled 9-1-1, ABC swooped in and renewed the show for a seventh season and has continued to find success on the network. It’s first spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, however, hasn’t had the same luck.
9-1-1: Lone Star followed a New York firefighter (played by Rob Lowe) who relocated to Texas while trying to balance his job alongside his personal issues. Ronen Rubinstein, Sierra McClain, Jim Parrack, Natacha Karam, Brian Michael Smith, Rafael L. Silva, Julian Works and Gina Torres made up the rest of the cast.
By 2023, 9-1-1: Lone Star was renewed for its fifth and final season on Fox. The franchise, however, has continued to grow, and cocreators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear hinting at another location and a possible new spinoff.
Every TV Spinoff to (Hopefully) Look Forward to in 2025
The Rookie, meanwhile, debuted in 2018 and followed police offers from a precinct in Los Angeles. The universe is reportedly expanding with a spinoff written by Hawley, set in Washington state and following a male cop entering a new chapter of his life. The premise parallels the idea of the OG series, which centers around Nathan Fillion’s character John Nolan switching careers.
This would be the second spinoff after The Rookie: Feds in 2022. The show was canceled by ABC after one season.
The Rookie airs on ABC Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET. 9-1-1 returns Thursday, March 6, at 8 p.m. ET.
Tim Tebow’s Wife Demi-Leigh Is Pregnant, Expecting Their 1st Baby
Tim Tebow and wife Demi-Leigh Tebow are expecting their first baby.
“Baby Tebow ,” the couple captioned an Instagram Reel on Tuesday, January 14, announcing Demi-Leigh’s pregnancy. The twosome revealed that their little one is due this summer.
In the video, the former NFL quarterback, 37, gave his wife a kiss before unveiling a sonogram of their baby to the camera. Demi-Leigh, who is 16 weeks pregnant, glowed in the maternity photo shoot, wearing a form-fitting white dress that showed off her growing baby bump.
“We are just so excited and so over the moon to be having a baby together,” Demi-Leigh, 29, told People on Tuesday. “I feel like every time I say, ‘Tim’s going to be a dad!’ it feels so surreal.”
Tim and Demi-Leigh Tebow Recall ‘Language Barrier’ Early in Their Romance
Tim, meanwhile, said he is “honored for the privilege of getting the responsibility and the joy of being mom and dad.”
The couple shared their pregnancy news ahead of their five-year wedding anniversary. Tim and Demi-Leigh tied the knot in Cape Town, South Africa, on January 20, 2020, after a yearlong engagement.
The retired football player met his now-wife in 2018 at the Tim Tebow Foundation’s annual event Night to Shine, which is a prom for people with special needs.
Tim Tebow Through the Years: His Life in Photos
“Demi had a little sister with severe special needs. [She] was kind of our matchmaker,” Tim exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of Demi-Leigh’s sister Franje, who had cerebellar agenesis and died in May 2019. “Demi and her family were invited [to Night of Shine], but unfortunately her sister was too sick to go. But through that, we connected and never stopped talking.”
While the pair felt an instant connection, Demi-Leigh confessed to Us in August 2024 that there was a “language barrier” when they began dating.
“Loving in a second language is different,” Demi-Leigh explained, asking her husband, “Remember the first time after our first date, I told you, ‘Keep well,’ and you thought I was dismissing you?”
Tim recalled the moment, telling Us, “Her first language is Afrikaans, not English,” since Demi-Leigh is from South Africa.
“I was like, ‘Keep well? … I don’t know if I’m going to see you again!’” he laughed of their initial exchanges.
Stars Who Welcomed Rainbow Babies After Miscarriages
Despite their communication barriers, the duo said “I do” in 2020 and were quickly asked when they planned to expand their family.
“I don’t know if we’re running the four-minute offense or we’re playing defense,” Tim told Extra in November 2020. “We’re trying to figure out what’s next for us.”
Tim noted that both he and the former Miss Universe “definitely want” children and were “excited for when it’s just the right time” to become parents.
