Lea Michele is finally wiping away her tears for Cory Monteith — with some sexy massage therapy.
According to TMZ, the “Glee” star has been quietly seeing one Matthew Paetz (Jewish?), also known by his Cowboys4Angels alias, Christian. The site, featured on Showtime’s “Gigolos” offers, ahem, male “companionship” to women.
According to his site description, Matthew is a “certified life coach, dating expert and massage therapist.”
His list of services include a one-hour massage ($350), weekend retreat ($6,000) and week-long fun ($17,500). Hopefully, Lea’s getting her dating advice for free.
Apparently, the couple met on the set of Michele’s new music video, “On My Way.” Paetz’s profile has now been hidden from the Cowboys4Angels site, but TMZ managed to screen grab us a peek:
