Ellen DeGeneres is honoring Tayt Andersen after his death at age 19. "We had a very special guest on the show several times, and his name is Tayt, and he thought that I was his girlfriend, so I told him he was my boyfriend, which shocked my wife," DeGeneres, 67, said in a social media video shared on Friday, September 26. She continued, "He was a very special little human being and just brought joy and life and laughter into every room that he was in. And I will miss him." DeGeneres began to tear up as she nodded for the camera.
