I will be, like: “We are his children and we could not live him”, said Weslie, 16, said in tears on Sunday April 20, the episode of her and “Between Us” of Holker and Holker ” podcast. “My biggest fear is that they grow up and they end up feeling, not only for him, but we have the experience. I don’t want it to happen at all. I prefer to put my feelings aside for them. ”
Weslie is Holker’s daughter of a previous relationship, who grew up with the boss after marrying the Dancing Alum in 2013. Holker, 37, and Boss later welcomed the son Maddox and his daughter Zaia in 2016 and 2019, respectively, before the death of Boss by suicide in December 2022.
Holker jumped into the Weslie console, stressing that Maddox and Zaia will be able to “have us” as they sail in their own sorrow.
“They can have you as a big sister,” said Holker. “You are so aware of these feelings, but I don’t want you to never have done and that you will live from that. [and] Present the same energy he would have had on them. »»
Weslie, on the other hand, knows that her brothers and sisters will always have affection for her but is more concerned with “what it is not to have this paternal figure”. (Weslie has a distant relationship with her biological father, who lives in another state.)

According to Weslie, he “sucks” that Maddox and Zaia will not have a strong paternal presence in their lives when they reach adolescence.
“I know Maddox just wants there to be someone he could admire who just does not talk about makeup,” Weslie joked. “We are trying to find out about basketball and try to know with him, but it’s difficult. I just want him to have that. “
Holker, meanwhile, noted that she and Weslie will be “always” there for Maddox and Zaia.
“I think that for me as a mother, my biggest lack for them and for you, is to make sure that you never feel, this decision, this decision was your fault or everything that could have been controlled by a decision you made,” said Holker. “And just knowing that this part of life is not the decisive moment of who we are, because we are still there. We can always have such a good life.”
