Lea Michele Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 2 With Husband Zandy Reich

Get ready for her, love, ‘cause she’s a comer mother of two.

Lea Michele and her husband Zandy Reich welcomed their second baby together, a sister to 3-year-old son Ever.

"Our hearts are so full," the Glee alum wrote on Instagram Aug. 25, alongside a photo of the family members touching the newborn's tiny leg. "Emery Sol Reich."

Lea and the retail entrepreneur, who tied the knot in 2019, shared their family was growing in March 2024 when she posted photos of herself showing off her bump on Instagram with the caption “Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed.”

Two months later, the actress confirmed that she and Zandy were expecting a baby girl with a Mother’s Day Instagram post captioned, “holding my son who made me a mama…and carrying my daughter."

And for Lea, this chapter has marked a major turn of priorities. The Tony nominee, who has previously expressed how she had spent so much of her life singularly focused on her career, shared how difficult it was to jump back into work with the Spring Awakening anniversary show a year after welcoming Ever.

"Doing Spring Awakening in November [2021] was the first time that I really left [Ever], and I went back to doing what I really love so much," she told E! News in 2022. "I definitely had mom guilt, for sure, of leaving him and not being there 24/7. But it was so important for me to show him me doing what I really love."

In true Rachel Berry fashion, Lea took to the stage once again in the revival of Funny Girl. But she was sure to make it clear that while she loved playing Fanny Bryce, her family took center stage as she briefly stepped away from the show when Ever had a health scare in March 2023.

Luckily, she was able to share just over a month later that her son was on the road to recovery.

"Everyone is doing really well," Lea told E! News that April. "It's certainly been a challenging month but the most incredible support from my cast and from my family. They're my family as well."

The actress is first romantically linked to the retail entrepreneur in July 2017. "They have been friends for a while and started dating recently," an insider confirms to E! News. 

At the 2017 Emmys, Lea tells E! News exclusively on the red carpet that her new man is "The One," at least according to Glee creator Ryan Murphy. 

"So Ryan is like my family… one of the greatest friends in the world that I have, so when my boyfriend got the seal of approval from Ryan Murphy, that's it. Yeah, my parents, friends, whatever, but Ryan Murphy, done deal seals the deal," she gushes. 

In April 2018, Zandy proposes to Lea with a 4-carat diamond ring. "They couldn't be happier," a source tells E! News at the time. 

Lea sends her hubby a sweet Valentine's Day message in 2019, writing, "Happy Valentine's Day Z. I love you!"

Lea and her besties, which include Emma Roberts, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and JoAnna Garcia Swisher, head to Hawaii for an unforgettable bachelorette party in Feb. 2019. 

Wearing a drop dead gorgeous bridal gown by Monique Lhuillier, Lea exchanges vows with Zandy on March 9, 2019 in Napa Valley, Calif. "We are so excited to be married and grateful to be surrounded by our friends and family. And most of all, we're so happy to spend the rest of our lives together," they tell People.

After tying the knot, the newlyweds enjoy a tropical honeymoon vacation. As for how they're adjusting to married life, an insider shares, "They spent the first month on their honeymoon and basically reliving the best moments of the wedding. They've been going through photos and videos and just reaching out to thank everyone that was involved. They were so ecstatic about the entire weekend and just keep talking about how magical and incredible it was."

Zandy and Lea make their first official appearance as husband and wife at the GLAAD Media Awards in March 2019. 

"My forever valentine," she writes on Instagram in Feb. 2020. "love you z."

In April 2020, a source confirms to E! News that Lea, 33, is pregnant and expecting the couple's first child.
