Lea Michele Reveals She’s Pregnant With Baby No. 2: ‘Mommy, Daddy and Ever Are Overjoyed’
Lea Michele is going to be a mom … again! The 37-year-old Broadway star, who is married to businessman Zandy Reich, revealed that she’s pregnant with her second baby in a sweet Instagram post Wednesday (March 27), sharing photos of her bump.
In the pictures, Michele — who is already Mom to 3-year-old son Ever Leo — poses with a silky white shawl draped over her shoulders, cradling her baby bump as it peeks through the fabric.
“Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed,” she captioned the post.
Some of the Glee alum’s famous friends chimed in with supportive messages in the comments, with Zooey Deschanel writing, “Congratulations!!!”
Ashley Tisdale, who also recently announced that she’s pregnant with her second child, added, “So excited for this beautiful family ❤️❤️❤️.”
Michele and Reich tied the knot in 2019. The couple became first-time parents the next year, welcoming Ever in August 2020.
Their news of baby No. 2 comes about seven months after the actress wrapped up her tenure as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl, in which she starred alongside Ramin Karimloo. She and her castmates took the stage at the summer 2023 Tony Awards — where she wasn’t eligible for a nomination, having replaced the run’s original leading lady Beanie Feldstein — for a showstopping performance of “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
And while the Barbra Streisand-originated role was a dream come true for Michele, mom life always comes first. In March, she took some unexpected time away from Funny Girl to care for her son after he was hospitalized due to an undisclosed “scary health issue.”
Two days later, she was back in business at the August Wilson Theatre in New York City. “Thank you all for your well wishes this past week,” she wrote via Instagram Stories at the time. “We are taking our boy home from the hospital soon. Thank you to all the amazing doctors and hospital staff.”
