Michele and Reich started dating in 2017 and tied the knot in March 2019. Earlier this week, People revealed Michele’s pregnancy with a source saying “They’ve always wanted to be parents.” 

Some of Michele’s closest friends and co-stars have left supportive comments on her pregnancy photo. Former Glee star Naya Rivera commented “Aww congrats! I love this. You’re going to be a great mommy!”, while Scream Queens and American Horror Story actress Emma Roberts wrote “Crying! Screaming!!! Love you !”.

After the announcement of the pregnancy, many Glee fans couldn’t help but notice the parallel between Michele and her on-screen character Rachel Berry. The series finale, which aired in 2015, was set in 2020 and showed a pregnant Rachel, who was the surrogate for Kurt and Blaine. Several fans took to Twitter to share their excitement over the news.
