Cory Monteith & Lea Michele in LA: genuinely loved up or super-posed?

Here are some new photos of Lea Michele and Cory Monteith in Hollywood yesterday. I think they were going out to eat. How long have they been together now? The rumors about them started shortly after the awards season, like early March or so. So… maybe they’ve been seeing each other for the better part of four months, if not longer? Does that surprise you? It surprises me. Although this is far from the first coupled-up, loved-up candid photo op from the two of them, they haven’t really been in-our-faces about it either. They just seem to be dating in some sort of half-public, half-private way – not pushing it in the tabloids, not setting up endless photo-ops, but not hiding it either. I kind of like the way they’re handling it.

As for Lea’s casual outfit… I dislike the jeans. I loathe the shoes. And I kind of want her sweater. I love those kinds of sweaters. Don’t even start with the “Does she have a bump?” questions though. Although my first instinct was to “Bump Watch” her, let’s not go there. Lea has some issues with dieting and stuff, and I’d like to think that she can gain a few pounds without everyone thinking that she’s pregnant. She looks fine. She looks healthy. She just needs to throw out the shoes.

So… are Lea and Cory going strong? I would say so. My guess is that they’ll make it for a while longer. Maybe even a year or more.

    That sweater is incredibly unflattering

  2. irishserra says:

    Either loved up or she’s just hanging onto him for dear life so as not to take a tumble in those adorable shoes she’s wearing!

  3. Kola says:

    Do I see moobs? Lea looks so young here.

  4. paola says:

    Gay vibe!

  5. amanda says:

    I can’t even look at her, I’m so mesmerized by his gross jeans & t-shirt. It is as if I’m looking at the after picture of a man who shed 100lbs and doesn’t know how to dress for his new size. Burn that outfit! Burn it now.

    • Cait says:

      I know right?? Not saying he’s fat by any means, but that baggy outfit is doing Cory no favors. Why do men insist on wearing clothes that’re way too big and unflattering??

  6. jess says:

    I dont like the sweater, It makes her look lumpy. I dont watch Glee but are they still on the show? I know they graduated but are they coming back?

    • JenD says:

      They did graduate. She made it into a school in NY, so she left. He hadn’t made a decision about what he wanted, so he was going to stay in town and figure it out.

      Please don’t judge that I watch the show (and sing to all the songs!). 🙂

      • Jennipurrr says:

        Dude, he went to the army!

        Why would anyone judge, I watch some truly ridiculous TV but at least it’s not Jersey Shore… 😉

  7. miriam says:

    She is such a try hard, and she’s not at all good looking. Plus she has a horrible nasally singing voice.

    Ugh, I don’t like either of them. Why are all the Glee cast so intolerable?

  8. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I have to say she looks so much better casual than she does at awards shows. I don’t like the clothing but it’s not hideous. Just seems like regular street deeds anyone would wear.

  9. Abby says:

    they’re super cute. Please don’t call me a crazed Gleek. I heart cory monteith.

  10. malachais says:

    both of their outfits are atrocious. With all the money they have, they should look better than this – eww.

  11. Tillie says:

    I kinda like them together, hope they have fun together.

    Her shoes are ugly though.
    Her body looks great, as it always does.

  12. Elceibeno08 says:

    Does he have gray hair at 29 years old?

  13. Jaime says:

    That looks like an outfit I would have worn to class in college in 2002.

  14. Jover says:

    Good question miriam easy answer is fame got to their heads real quick; enjoy it while it lasts because none of them have a large or committed following; what i would like to know, and I haven’t seen an answer, is how can a show that lost 25 per cent of its audience from season 2 to 3 as widely reported (Wall street journal, usa today,etc.) still be on the air. If this were any other show it would be history – answers anyone.

    • Jenny says:

      I have the same question if that’s true.

      …Because they still sell singles on iTunes? And merchandise? The reality show on Oxygen is successful and the concert tours were solid? I don’t know.

      • Jover says:

        Thanks for the response Jenny but if memory serves me didn’t last summer’s tour have trouble selling most venues – and can Itunes sales be enough to pay salaries, etc. if you look at the weekly viewership this yr sometimes it was 3 to 5 million for an episode paltry numbers given the marketing, and when you compare those numbers to shows a generation ago Seinfeld,friends cheers, fraser, etc.

  15. tru tru says:

    he looks “gleeish” not into to her at all..

  16. David says:

    She looks really pretty

  17. Sassy says:

    Can’t stand her. Something about her annoys the shit outta me (but her body is awesome). I do sorta like her jeans though – but put them with cute high-tops or flats. Her shoes are hideous.

    He’s meh. His jeans are atrocious.

  18. ladycj says:

    I can’t believe no one ever brings up how weak his singing voice is, I mean really, how did he get the lead on a singing show!?!

  19. JB says:

    His body is very feminine . I am oddly attracted to him, though.

  20. Happy21 says:

    I watch Glee. I like Glee.

    I think they are cute together and not because I watch the show. She seems so relaxed. Usually she seems uptight. Who knows maybe they just fit? I like him. He’s from where I live and I think he’s done really well for himself. He’s not a great singer but he has something that has worked for him.

    I doubt they’ll last much past Glee’s expiration date but hope they have fun while it lasts 🙂

  21. Jenny says:

    I think they may have been dating even longer than that. I was a Glee fan and I would look up spoilers ahead of time (bbecause I really wanted to know what was up, lol) and on one site they have a lot of the Glee kids Twitter pics and EVERYONE noticed one of Lea and Cory looking flirty or “loved up” and their was more speculation that they were dating or romantic because of it.

    The picture was taken down from Twitter but

    I think it still must be on that site. It was for Glee Xmas episode. So they must have started to date or flirt whenever they started taping for that.

    And I agree 1000% with you Kaiser on the outfits…I don’t like her jeans or her shoes and Cory has looked better but I also like the way they are handling their relationship. They get brownie points for that, lol.

  22. markee says:

    The way he looks at her at the last photo..definitely not gay vibes.. 🙂

  23. Esmom says:

    Haha, my first thought was “baby bump.” Then…”no.” They are such an unlikely pairing…she seems so high maintenance and he does not. But maybe those crazy kids can make it work.

    I loved Glee for about the first season and a half. Then suddenly I hated it and haven’t watched since.

  24. Irishae says:

    Looks like they both have gained ~20 lbs. Not that I ever hold that against anyone, but I have never understood the Glee karaoke phenomenon and its overrated “talent.” Good that it’s on its way out, now they can all go back into obscurity whence they came.

  25. Ayyy! They are this generation’s Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal… only without the talent or good looks!

  26. Pennie says:

    Gay vibes… from both of them.

    I think they’re cute together, though. Lea needs someone to calm her down, and she seems to have found that in Cory (she’s far less posey lately).

    Both their outfits suck, though.

  27. molly says:

    Wow, in every picture I see of them together, she is clinging to him for dear life. It seems like she is desperate not to loose him and make sure that everyone knows that Cory belongs to her, and he couldnt look more disinterested.

  28. may says:

    genuine, luv her
