On Thursday’s episode ofNick Viall’sThe Viall Filespodcast, theSo You Think You Can Dancealum, 35, acknowledged that her love life has become a “hot topic” afterher husband’s death in December 2022.
As she continued to grieve and work through her emotions, Allison said she needed to “learn to love myself,” but also find answers as to whether or not she could “like someone else again.”

But at the end of the day, I love life. So would I shy away from it?”

“I still find that the world is such a beautiful place and there’s so much to be experienced. So to what kind of capacity? What that looks like? I don’t know. But I’m definitely not shying away from it,” she explained. “It’s just, life to me is life, and I just think it’s here to be experienced.”
“Life and love is just something that I’ve always believed in,” she added.
While Allison doesn’t want to close herself off to any possibilities, she confessed she “had so many dark spaces I was in, that I had to be in for so many different reasons, and I had to work through all these different processes of all these different things.”
