Lea Michele: Cory Monteith’s Birthday Surprise — Romantic Plans Before Death

“[Lea] didn’t know what [Cory’s surprise was],” a source tells Us Weekly. “But she thought it could be a party and possibly a trip somewhere.”

Furthermore, Lea, 26, and Cory, 31, reportedly had long-term plans for the future.

“Lea and Cory were planning on moving in together after he got back from Vancouver,” a source tells the magazine. They “weren’t talking engagement or marriage yet, but it was heading that way. The first step was [that] Cory was going to move in [to Michele’s L.A. home] completely. He was already there all the time.”

“They were 100 percent happy and together and in love at the time of his death,” the source added.

Lea’s love for Cory is evident in her last interview prior to the actor’s death.
