Lea Michele spotted out with boyfriend less than a year after Cory Monteith's death. Lea Michele and new boyfriend Matthew Paetz were photographed out picnicking together in Los Angeles, reports E! Entertainment Online.

Paetz is Michele's first relationship since the death of her longtime boyfriend Cory Monteith from an overdose on July 13, 2013.

"'She waited a long time before getting serious again and she likes him a lot," a source recently told E! News. Luckily, another insider shared that Paetz "treats her really well, he's smart and fun. She's really happy.'"

"A source told E! News that Paetz  'is a very nice guy' who is a lot of fun' to be around. 'He is very into being in a relationship and loves being in one. He is the kind of person who will want to be with that person all the time, but in a good way,' the source continued. 'And he is a good listener.'

Lea Michele has publically mourned the loss of her late boyfriend and former co-star. Last May on Monteith's would-be birthday, the star tweeted a black and white photograph of the couple with the words "The biggest heart and most beautiful smile.. In all of our hearts.. We love you so.. Happy Birthday"

Michele has confessed that she and Monteith had discussed plans to marry and have children before the actor's shocking death, according to ABC. 

Michele is set to return to the show that made her famous "Glee" in early 2015. The new season will have the cast moving to New York City. It will air midseason on Fox and will be only 12 or 13 episodes long instead of the usual 22.

Earlier today, another of the show's stars Chris Colfer had his Twitter account hacked, prompting the rumor that he would not be returning for the program for season six. However, his publicity team and agent have since denied the allegations.
