Pregnant Lea Michele has a spring in her step.
The Glee star showed off her bump on Monday, as she went for a stroll in sunny Los Angeles with her husband of one-year, Zandy Reich, and did not appear to be letting life in self-isolation get her down.
Lea, 33, – who confirmed her pregnancy just days ago – showed off her fit physique in a tight-fitting tank top and leggings as she enjoyed some brief exercise with Zandy.

The Glee actress took to social media yesterday to post about their day out, telling fans: ‘Morning walks! Stood across the street and said hi to Sheri Delaney at The Slacktide so we could meet their newest addition!’
Delaney is a yoga instruction at Love Yoga in Venice Beach, California.
Meanwhile, the Broadway star has been open and honest about how it hasn’t been an easy road to becoming a parent, revealing last year that she suffers from polysystic ovary syndrome – a condition which can make it harder for women to conceive.

‘The side effects can be brutal – like weight gain and bad skin,’ she shared to Health magazine.
‘Growing up, I had terrible skin. I went on Accutane three times. I was put on every medication that you could imagine to help my skin. Luckily, birth control was a saviour for me when I was in my teens.’
She continued: ‘Then when I was in my late 20s, I realised I wanted to detox my body of all medications. That’s when everything happened – the return to bad skin and, this time, weight gain. I didn’t know what was going on.’

Lea was eventually diagnosed with the hormone imbalance and has been able to manage her condition with a plant-based diet.
She said: ‘I went to a great doctor, and the minute she looked at me, she was like, ‘Oh, you have PCOS.’ It explained everything.
‘Through diet, I have been able to manage it. But I am very fortunate. There are way more extreme versions of PCOS that women have a lot of difficulty with – mine is not as intense.

‘Which is why I haven’t really talked about it, because there are women who have it so much more intense.
‘Now, I feel like I am at the healthiest place in my entire life. It’s not that I’m the thinnest, because I’m not the thinnest I’ve been. But when I was the thinnest, I was not being the healthiest. I’m definitely the most mentally, physically, and spiritually sound that I’ve ever been.’
The New Year’s Eve star started dating Zandy in July 2017 and he proposed to her in April 2018.
They wed in March 2019 in Northern California with her pals Darren Criss, Becca Tobin and Emma Roberts in attendance.
