All eyes have been on Lea Michele following the sudden death of Cory Monteith, her Glee co-star and boyfriend of two years. Now she has reportedly reopened her heart for Matthew Paetz, a Los Angeles-based dating and lifestyle coach who previously worked as a male escort.

Given that Cory’s death coincided with the wrap-up of Glee’s final season, many were worried about how Lea was going to pick up her life and move on.

According to E! News, Matthew Paetz previously worked for Cowboys4Angels, a service offering male “companionship” for women, though the owner of the escort service refused to comment on the nature of his services.

A source told the gossip website, “He will be great arm candy and he is a very nice guy, and is a lot of fun.” Moreover, “he is very into being in a relationship and loves being in one. He is the kind of person who will want to be with that person all the time, but in a good way. And he is a good listener.”

Lea said she’s been successful at moving past her tragedy and focusing on her dreams because of the supportive network of people in her life.
