Lea Michele insists she isn't pregnant

Lea Michele has insisted she isn't pregnant after seemingly announcing the news.

The 'Glee' star, who recently started dating Matthew Paetz, was forced to deny she is expecting her first child after her Twitter account was hacked today (07.04.14).

A spokesperson for the 27-year-old actress cleared up the rumor shortly after the following post appeared on her social media page: "Before this gets out to the media, I would like to announce to my fans that I am pregnant #BabyBoy (sic)"

The fake tweet came just one day after Lea's co-star Chris Colfer was hacked with a message that he was fired from the series for personal reasons.

After his spokesperson denied the tweet was authentic, the actor joked: "Apparently I missed quite the INTERESTING day while aboard my flight. I'm just glad I wasn't 'killed by a fruit truck' again."

Lea and her new beau reportedly have an "open type of relationship" and are taking things slowly, as he is the first person she has dated since the death of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith from an overdose last year.

A source recently said: "They're dating! Nothing too serious but they're really happy. They have a very honest and open type of relationship. They share everything and support each other in any way possible."

The pair - who met on the set of Lea's 'On My Way' music video earlier this year - were recently rocked by reports that Matthew was a gigolo, who, until recently, offered his companionship to lonely women through online service Cowboys4Angels.

However, he assured Lea that he was merely a certified life coach, dating expert and massage therapist.
