Lea Michele has said getting to work with her real life love Cory Monteith has been one of the best parts of starring on Glee.

The pair play on-off couple Rachel and Finn in the musical TV series and have been dating for several months in real life, although they didn't make their public debut as a couple until they stepped out for the Do Something Awards in Los Angeles a few weeks ago.

Lea, 26, told People that she is "so happy" with 30-year-old Cory and explained that he inspires her when they are on set.

"I love working with Cory, I always have. He really, really inspires me, and he motivates me and I think he's just so talented," she said.

"Working with him has been one of the best experiences of this whole process."

Lea and Cory are both reprising their roles in the upcoming fourth season of Glee.
