Some, like Jen and Brad or McGosling (Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, for those who didn’t spend their teenage years weeping over “The Notebook.”). Other, tragically, get separated by something far more permanent.

In her 2014 memoir/cookbook/style advice column, “Brunette Ambition,” Michele thanked Monteith for his proofreading and input, adding that Rachel’s “Finn” necklace from “Glee” is among her favorite possessions. In May, she tweeted out some birthday love to Cory:

Michele is set to star in Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy’s latest horror-comedy,”Scream Queens.” In April 2014, she started dating aspiring actor (and former sexy massage therapist) Matthew Paetz.
