Lea Michele's Dating History: Zandy Reich, Corey Monteith and More

Offscreen romances! Lea Michele’s dating history consists of many of her famous costars, including Glee’s Corey Monteith and Matthew Morrison, to Broadway stud Theo Stockman. However, there are a few surprises on the list — we’re looking at you, Charlie Puth.

The Scream Queens actress is officially off the market since marrying husband Zandy Reich in March 2019. Surprisingly, the fact that her husband, who works as the president of clothing company AYR, isn’t in showbiz was a huge plus.

“She loves that he’s not an actor and has no desire to be in the spotlight,” an insider exclusively told Life & Style, adding that “she appreciates how kind Zandy is, and she loves that he knows fashion.”

The pair were first romantically linked in July 2017 but knew each other for a while as friends before they started dating. However, it was definitely written in the cards for the two to cross paths.

“It’s kind of crazy,” Lea gushed in February 2019. “They always say, ‘It will happen when you least expect it. It will happen when you least expect it!’ And I met my fiancé at my best friend’s wedding.”

Zandy seems like an amazing guy, and he even got the thumbs up from Glee creator and Lea’s close pal Ryan Murphy. “Ryan is my family — he’s one of the greatest friends in the world that I have,” the actress divulged to Giuliana Rancic at the 2017 Emmy Awards. “When my boyfriend got the seal of approval from Ryan Murphy, that was it. Yeah my parents, yeah friends, whatever. But Ryan Murphy, it’s a done deal — it sealed the deal.”

The pair got engaged in April 2018 and wed at Napa Valley’s Carneros Resort on March 9, 2019. Lea revealed she was expecting the couple’s first child in a May 2, 2020, Instagram photo showing the actress cradling her already sizable baby bump and writing in the caption, “So grateful.” Three months later, Lea and Zandy welcomed a baby boy named Ever on August 20.

Lea has found her forever love, but her journey to find Zandy was filled with other eligible guys. Take a look back at her full relationship history!

Landon Beard

Lea dated the musician, best known for his role in Altar Boyz, in 2006. “I feel very lucky to have such a great boyfriend who’s so wonderful,” she gushed while doing press for Spring Awakening. The pair were together for more than two years before calling it quits in 2008.
Landon married Pretty Little Liars star Vanessa Ray in 2015.

John Lloyd Young

Lea and John starred together in the stage production of Les Miserables in 2008 and struck up a romance shortly after. The New York native dated the Tony winner for almost a year, but they broke up before Lea made her debut on Glee. It doesn’t seem like there was any bad blood because John later made a guest appearance on the musical show as Henri St. Pierre.

Cory Monteith

Perhaps Lea’s most high-profile relationship was with her Glee costar. They publicly confirmed their romance in December 2012. Cory tragically died of a drug overdose in July 2013 at the age of 31, while they were still together.

In his honor, Lea got a tattoo of the number “5” April 2016 saying, “For my Quarterback.” She later revealed the word “Finn,” in honor of Corey’s onscreen character, on her upper left thigh in July 2019.
