“HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all you beautiful women out there! Being a mother is one of the biggest blessings in my life,” Holker captioned a post featuring photos from a shoot in which her family was dressed to the nines in evening wear, holding silver disco balls.

“My children bring me so my light, love, comfort, support, curiosity and purpose. There is a bond we share and protect,” she continued.

Holker added: “These three angels bring so much joy to the world… the spirit in them just lifts everyone up around them. I will sit in this day full of gratitude for the love I’m graced with!!”

“Sending you all love and light! ♥️ #happymothersday celebrate the ones you love,” her caption concluded.

In March, Holker took to her social media to share a cute post for her son’s eighth birthday.

The post included photos of Holker and her son smiling at a basketball game together, as well as an adorable picture of Maddox talking to his sisters. Another picture captured the proud mother embracing her son.

“Happy Birthday MADDOX. 8 years old! This kid lights up the world. He has the most beautiful spirit that lifts everyone up around him so full of energy and love. So proud of you! Together forever!” Holker captioned the post.

Also in March, Holker joined The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she spoke more about appreciating life with her kids since her husband’s death.

“[I’m] full of very convoluted feelings and conflicting emotions where sometimes I’m just really joyous and happy and then other times I’m really angry and sad, and full of all these different confusing feelings that are all at the same time,” she said.

“Then I decide at the end of the day for my children and myself that I’m going to make sure I choose the right energy for myself. So I choose love and joy, and to remember him as the amazing human that he is and celebrate him with my kids,” she continued. “And still celebrate life because I feel like there’s so much purpose and love out there for us to experience.”
