Uh, yeah. Same thing. He more or less adopted Kovu into the family at the end of the second movie.

Of course, I have my own tearjerking scenario for Simba's death where Zira ambushes them and attempts to kill Kovu, who in her mind betrayed her and Scar, until Simba leaps in to protect him and they end up dangling off a high rockface/cliff. Kovu tries to pull Simba up to safety, but Simba declines, saying that it'd be too dangerous, and he doesn't want Zira to survive to harm his family again. He then tells Kovu how proud of him he is and how he thinks of him as a son, before finally saying "I love you" and falling into the whatever-it-is-that's-below. Might be water, sharp spikes or something different. Haven't decided on that yet.
