Lea Michele is dating Cory Monteith

Lea Michele and Cory Monteith are reportedly dating.

The 'Glee' co-stars - who play onscreen couple Rachel Berry and Finn Hudson in the musical TV drama series - were spotted enjoying Valentine's Day (14.02.12) together at Los Angeles eatery Il Covo, where they were seen holding hands "flirting".

An eyewitness told Life & Style magazine: "They were into each other all night. She was very happy, flirting and touching Cory a lot. He just stared at her with puppy-dog eyes."

The onlooker revealed the pair were holding hands throughout the evening and at one stage Cory fed Lea spaghetti and she affectionately rubbed his back in return.

A 'Glee' crew member added: "Cory is totally into her."

The 25-year-old beauty split from Broadway star Theo Stockman - her boyfriend of 17 months - in September 2011.

Last year, Lea admitted if she was going to get romantically involved with any other cast members then it would be with the 29-year-old hunk.

She explained: "For me, if it was going to happen with anybody, it would have happened with Cory.

"As long as I get to have scenes with Cory, it makes me really happy."
