"I have no words. There aren't any. My head or heart can not understand this," wrote Tatum, along with a picture of them posing for the camera, wearing "Magic Mike XXL" costumes. "There is just so much... I don't know where to begin. I love you. I'll see you again my friend. Until then."
Michelle Obama also sent her condolences to Boss and his family. The former first lady tweeted: "I was heartbroken to learn about the passing of Stephen 'tWitch' Boss, who I got to know over the years through my 'Let's Move!' initiative and visits to 'The Ellen Show.'
"My heart goes out to his wife, Allison, and his three children during this difficult time."
Another frequent guest at the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Kris Jenner, took to social media to mourn Boss. She wrote: "My heart is heavy today. tWitch brought so much laughter and joy to so many people and I am so grateful and blessed to have had the time with him on the Ellen Show that I did.
"He was always so kind and amazing. Truly a special soul. I am heartbroken, and my heart goes out to his beautiful wife, Alison, and their children Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia. I am praying for you all and sending my love."
Boss' co-star on "The World of Dance," Jennifer Lopez shared her condolences through Instagram, as she shared a picture of them huddled together with Derek Hough and Ne-Yo.
