Remembering her friend. Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to her former DJ, Stephen “tWitch” Boss, after the dancer died by reported suicide on Tuesday, December 13, at age 40.
“I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light,” DeGeneres, 64, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, December 14, alongside a photo of her hugging her fellow television personality. “He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children — Weslie, Maddox and Zaia.”
Boss joined The Ellen DeGeneres Show as the talk show host’s in-house DJ in 2014 and became a co-executive producer of the program in August 2020. After the daytime TV series’ final episode in May, DeGeneres shared a clip via Twitter that detailed how she and the choreographer became acquainted.
“I used to be a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance, and I wanted to do a dance. So, the producers of So You Think You Can Dance set me up with tWitch. tWitch came over to my house and he helped me try to copy it,” the comedian explained in the video. “It was like a crash course in getting to know each other … and he was so patient with me. That was my initial love for him … we just bonded over learning the dance together.”
The hip hop freestyler, for his part, shared a heartfelt message after the series finale of Ellen.
“How do I say goodbye to a show that changed my life in so many ways? I guess if there was an answer to this it would be to send the show off with as much love as possible. Through thoughts, actions and as Ellen would say before we left the show each day, ‘Take this (feeling in the room) out into the world and spread it.’ That’s how I’ll say goodbye to this show and the moments that were created,”
