Lea Michele has been photographed publicly for the first time with her new boyfriend, Matthew Paetz. Although there was no PDA, and no hand-holding, the Glee star was all smiled as they walked through a local park.
It’s only been a few weeks since rumors of their romance began, but it seems they’re getting along pretty well. Paetz is a lifestyle coach, but he is also reportedly a former male gigolo.
"It's still very new, but they are enjoying each other's company," a source told Us Weekly. "Lea's not stupid, so she's not jumping into anything. So far, it's an honest and happy relationship. Whatever his past may be, their current relationship is based on honesty."
Paetz is the first love interest Michele has been seen with since the death of her on and off-screen boyfriend, Cory Monteith, who died a year ago.
"People have to understand that I can't be alone forever. Cory wouldn't want that,” Michele has told Glamour since his death.
