Lea Michele and Cory Monteith begin working together on Glee in 2009, playing the roles of Rachel and Finn.
Though rumors begin circulating in early 2010 that Monteith and Michele are a couple, the two adamantly deny any off-screen romance.
When asked during their Teen Vogue cover shoot if Lea's boyfriend at the time, Theo Stockman, was jealous of Michele kissing Monteith on the show, she responds: "My boyfriend is an actor as well. So he understands."
When asked if he was seeing anybody at the time Monteith simply replies, "No."
In late 2011, Michele and then-boyfriend Theo Stockman officially end their relationship.
By mid-2012 the two are officially a couple.
Becoming virtually inseparable, the two begin taking trips together.
