Corey Monteith's death is still leaving its ripple effects on Lea Michele, who fondly remembered her late boyfriend and former Glee co-star on Ellen yesterday.

"She [Kate Hudson] was so wonderful to basically give me her home to myself and my family," Michele said. "It was so helpful to just, basically, have a safe place to process, and just have a minute to just breathe before getting back to my house which just has a lot of memories and stuff. So being some place else to just have a moment was really nice. [Glee co-creator] Ryan Murphy, who is so amazing, he came to Kate's house and he said, 'What do you want to do? Whatever you want to do, we'll do.' I said, 'I have to go back to work. We have to ... they're my family.'"

Michele and DeGeneres also reminisced about Monteith's famous December 2012 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he confirmed he and Michele were dating.

"It's one of my favorite memories," Michele told DeGeneres. "I remember when he came home that night, he kind of puffed out his chest and he was like, 'I talked about you on 'Ellen' today.' I was so happy. He's such a private person, and I literally lived every day of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world. I just thought he was the greatest man and so at that moment, that memory, it means so much to me."

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Lea Michele's Tweets about Corey Monteith, after his death, were the most retweeted Tweets on Twitter this year. It got over 400,000 retweets from more than 100 countries.
