Lea Michele may look like she’s ready to pop any minute, but that didn’t stop her getting in her daily exercise with husband Zandy Reich.

The Glee actress, 33, is expecting her first child with Zandy and while pregnant, she’s been enjoying plenty of sunshine strolls and hikes in Santa Monica.

Saturday proved to be no different and Lea was seen dressing up her huge baby bump in her gym gear, as she headed out with her hubby ahead of her due date.

The star, best known for playing Rachel Berry for nine years on the hit Fox series, was dressed in black leggings, trainers, and a navy sports top that skimmed over her bump.

She hung her sunglasses on the neck of her vest and wore a black face mask while out and about.

Zandy followed suit with his own matching mask and was dressed down in a baseball cap, t-shirt and shorts.

The couple looked pretty relaxed as they grabbed some fresh air and enjoyed a walk around the streets of their hometown.

Lea first went public with her pregnancy news back in May – posting a snap of her holding her baby bump to Instagram, confirming reports and mounting speculation that she was expecting.

Her baby news comes after she and Zandy tied the knot last year. The pair, who have known each other for years, first got together back in 2017 and announced their engagement the following year.

Throughout her pregnancy, Lea has been pretty quiet on social media, especially over the last couple of months, after she found herself at the centre of a bullying storm on the set of Glee.

Actress Samantha Marie Ware alleged Lea made her life a ‘living hell’ and she was targeted with ‘traumatic microaggressions’.

Multiple co-stars of Lea’s then spoke about her attitude on set, forcing her to later issue an apology for how her ‘behaviour was perceived’.

Taking to Instagram with a lengthy statement, Lea wrote: ‘While I don’t remember ever making this specific statement and I have never judged others by their background or colour of their skin, that’s really not the point, what matters is that I clearly acted in ways which hurt other people.’

‘Whether it was my privileged position and perspective that caused me to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times or whether it was just my immaturity and me just being unnecessarily difficult, I apologise for my behaviour and for any pain which I have caused,’ she continued.

‘We can all grow and change and I have definitely used these past several months to reflect on my own shortcomings.’

Addressing her pregnancy, she finished: ‘I am a couple of months from becoming a mother and I know I need to keep working to better myself and take responsibility for my actions, so that I can be a real role model for my child and so I can pass along my lessons and mistakes, so that they can learn from me.

‘I listened to these criticisms and I am learning and while I am very sorry, I will be better in the future from this experience.’

Lea went quiet online in the weeks that followed her post, with the star returning to social media to pay tribute to Glee co-star Naya Rivera, who played Santana Lopez on the show, following her death.

Naya died after accidentally drowning while renting a pontoon boat with her four-year-old son Josey at Lake Piru in California last month.

Josey was found on the boat alone later that afternoon, with a search operation then being launched to find Naya. Her body was recovered from the lake five days later.

Lea paid tribute by sharing photographs of herself and Naya together to her Instagram story.
