Following Boss’ death in 2022 at the age of 40, Holker told PEOPLE their children — daughters Weslie, 16, and Zaia, 4, and son Maddox, 8 — dealt with the loss of their father with “so much grace and so much kindness.”
“We always had a really close bond as a family,” Holker said. “But there’s a new level of it now. There’s a new level of respect and patience and understanding. And the conversations I’m able to embrace and have with my children is like nothing I’ve ever seen from other families.”
“It came from something so sad and painful, but it’s only brought us together,” she added.
Speaking to PEOPLE in June, Holker said she remained hopeful that she would find love again.
“I think I am a person that I always say the quote, ‘Romanticize your life.’ And I think, though I’ve gone through so much, I’m still a believer in living a big life. There’s not been one moment that I haven’t thought to myself, ‘I still want to live a big life,’ ” she continued. “I still would want to have love, would still want to travel the world. I still want to see and experience new things with new people, new energy, my friends, my family, a loved one — a potential — and my kids.”
“I want them to see that they can still learn to trust and love again. It doesn’t have to go away,” Holker said, adding of the potential of dating again: “I would embrace it.”
