Are Glee stars Lea and Cory together?

Glee's Lea Michele and Cory Monteith have sparked rumours they have become a real-life couple, after they were spotted out together on Valentine's Day.

The stars of the hit Sky 1 TV show play engaged high school couple Rachel and Finn, but according to Life & Style magazine they have now taken their relationship off screen.

Lea, 25, and Cory, 29, were apparently seen enjoying a a romantic meal together at Il Covo in Los Angeles on February 14, holding hands and feeding each other.

The Glee stars were reportedly spotted on another date together at the Ritz-Carlton later in the week.

Lea - who once said Cory was 'like my brother' - split from her longtime boyfriend Theo Stockman in September.

She told Glamour magazine last year: "On romance between cast members... I think if it was ever going to happen, it would have happened by now. I mean, for me, if it was going to happen with anybody it would have happened with Cory.

"The moment I saw him, I thought 'This boy is very cute.'"
