Lea Michele is dating her 'celebrity crush'.

The 26-year-old actress is happily loved up with her 'Glee' co-star Cory Monteith, 30, and Lea admitted she has had feelings for Cory for some time.

She told Life & Style magazine: 'I really think finding someone that you are best friends with is the secret. I'm dating my celebrity crush.'

The couple have been dating since January 2011 and Lea previously revealed she has never been happier than she is now.

She said: 'I don't even remember a time when he wasn't my boyfriend. No one knows me better than Cory. No one knows what it's been like to go through this more than he does...He makes me feel like I can do anything.

'For the first time in my life, I feel really, really settled and happy. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.'

However, the actress failed when she tried to impress her boyfriend - who also plays her love interest on the hit TV show - with her skills in the kitchen by whisking up a Croque Madame, but the eggs on top of the cheese and ham toastie weren't properly cooked.

She said said: 'I love to cook so much. Maybe I think I might be better than I am because I cooked something for my boyfriend the other day and I don't think he really liked it.

'I made him a little breakfast of my version of an Italian Croque Madame, but I think the eggs were off and not cooked. It wasn't very good, but he was a good sport!'
