Allison Holker shared that she recently “had a boob job,” explaining that she’d wanted breast implants “since high school.”
“I haven’t really publicly come out and, like, really discussed that I had a boob job,” the So You Think You Can Dance alum, 37, shared on the May 25 episode of Between Us, the podcast she co-hosts with daughter Weslie, 16.
Weslie is one of three children Holker shared with her husband, the late Stephen “tWitch” Boss who died died by suicide at age 40 in 2022.
While Weslie and Holker spoke to model Jessica Hall on their podcast, Holker disclosed her own recent procedure explaining, “I recently had a boob job and I’m so happy with it … I’ve wanted a boob job since I was like in high school, but because of my career in dancing. I never really made time for it.”
She recalls thinking, “‘Okay, I’ll have to take a couple months off’ “ to heal, explaining she “thought it was going to be a lot more of a big deal than it really was after actually getting it done.”
“I was like, ‘I’ll be out of work for a couple of months. What’s the healing process like? What are the different things you have to do to protect them? Will it hurt after?’ … I kind of went into that mindset when I was 18, that I was like, ‘Oh this is way too much for me to handle and I don’t know when I’m going to do it.’ “
“I pushed it off, pushed it off, pushed it off [until] three kids later and I’m not dancing like I used to,” Holker explained. “I was like, ‘Okay, maybe this is the right time for me.’ “
She added that “I think I needed a little bit of encouragement — like, I’ve gone through a lot the last couple of years, and I was really down on myself and my confidence level was kind of, like, all over the place. So I was like, ‘You know what, I think I’m going to do something for me.’ “
“It was really nice. I think it’s really helped me,” she explained, adding that it was positive “having conversations with Weslie, her seeing me go through the process of like, ‘No, like, I’m going to choose me for a second.’ And now, I’m so happy with it.’ “
