Cory Monteith is moving in with rumored girlfriend Lea Michele, reports say.
Star magazine claims that Monteith will soon be packing up his stuff and moving into Michele’s $1.4 million bungalow in Los Angeles. While the pair, who play a couple on “Glee,” have not confirmed they’re in a relationship, sources say that they started dating off-screen in February following Michele’s breakup with longtime boyfriend Theo Stockman.
LEA MICHELE AND CORY MONTEITH OF ‘GLEE’ DATING OFFSCREEN: REPORT
According to Star, things are moving fast.
“Lea is telling everyone she’s never felt more sure about anything,” a source tells the magazine. “She’s ready for it all, starting with living together and planning their future.”
Monteith has three roommates and has said of his living situation “it’s pretty bro-tastic.” Star’s source says Monteith has some doubts about the move.
“He’d prefer to maintain the status quo in their relationship, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer,” the source claims. “He’s sick of his roommate situation, so he’s going along with it.”
The source says this isn’t the only point of stress for the couple, and that their dynamic is not so different from their opposites-attract relationship on the show.
“Cory complains that Lea smothers him,” the source claims. “Many friends worry that their relationship is doomed because she’s so bossy and Cory is totally chill.”
Michele spoke about her attraction to Monteith last summer, when she was still dating Stockman.
“I think if it was ever going to be an issue, it would have happened by now,” Michele said, when discussing the possibility of romance with one of her castmates on the set of “Glee.” “I mean, for me, if it was going to happen with anybody, it would have happened with Cory. The moment I met him, I thought, ‘This boy is very cute.’ But he’s like my big brother. He’s such a great friend, and I am so happy working with him every day. I’m glad nothing has ever happened because it would have ruined something if it didn’t work out.”
