One year after Cory Monteith's death from drug overdose, the late actor's ex-girlfriend Lea Michele seem to be moving on with a new beau. After going out for the last couple of months, Michele confirmed her relationship last month with model Matthew Paetz, whom she was seen holding hands with at LAX. The love birds were headed to Italy, reports KpopStarz, where the two were seen kissing.
Michele is "all about vacation this summer", says Beauty World News, as evidenced by the 27-year old Glee season 6 star posting a photo of herself clad in a bikini in her Italy getaway on her Instagram account. Michele also tweeted, "Ciao Italy! You are so beautiful! I'm so happy to be here!" On the same trip, Michele was spotted kissing model boyfriend Matthew Paetz, says Mail Online.
Paetz has been reported by TMZ to be a member of the website Cowboys4Angels, which connects clients to gigolos. However, KpopStarz clarifies that Paetz, who went with the pseudonym Christian, was already inactive on the site before he started going out with Michele. Paetz' profile on the website lists him as a "certified life coach, dating expert and massage therapist". The model charges $350 for an hour, $6000 for a weekend, and $17,500 for a whole week, KpopStarz further reveals. Apparently, the two met when Michele was doing her music video entitled "On My Way."
Despite her new romance, the Glee star says she hasn't forgotten Monteith yet. On the actor's death anniversary last month, she posted his picture on Instagram with the caption "We hold you in our hearts today, and every day we remember your smile. We will love you and miss you always." While there is no reason for Michele's summer vacation, Beauty World News quotes a source saying that the actor received the news of Monteith's death when the was in LA, "So she was not going to say in LA over his anniversary."
Michele was seen wearing different clothes in her trip including a pair of neon bikini, two-piece green bikini, and a black dress. News.com.au says that the actor "looked relaxed and happy".
