Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello and Matt Bomer were among the stars to speak out.
Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss’ “Magic Mike” family is sharing their grief and condolences to the late dancer’s family following his death.
Boss died by suicide at the age of 40, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. He married fellow dancer Allison Holker in 2013, before Boss adopted Holker’s daughter Weslie, 14. The two went on to welcome to additional children: son Maddox, 6, and daughter Zaia, 3. Boss and Holker celebrated their 9-year wedding anniversary just four days before his death.
Boss appeared in the 2015 sequel to “Magic Mike,” in which Jada Pinkett Smith played the owner of a Savannah strip club where both tWitch and Donald Glover’s characters were employed. All three of them joined returning stars Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer, Kevin Nash and Adam Rodriguez for a finale number at a stripping convention.

Jada was one of the first to honor tWitch on social media, posting a photo of her, Boss and Glover to social media.
“I woke up this morning to the news that tWitch is gone. My heart aches for his wife Allison and their children Weslie, Maddox and Zaia,” she began. “My condolences to all his loved ones that he has left behind.”
“We had a lot of good times on the set of Magic Mike. He was so sweet, kind and generous,” she continued. “So many people suffer in silence. I wish he could have known that he didn’t have to. May his beautiful, shining soul rest in the arms of the Great Supreme and may that same Higher Power heal the shattered hearts of his loved ones.🕊️”
After appearing on “The Wade Robson Project,” Boss broke out as a contestant on “So You Think You Can Dance,” on which he returned as a judge in 2018 and again earlier this year. He was also Ellen DeGeneres’ long-running DJ on her daily talk show and appeared in three of the “Step Up” films.
