And Lea Michele has spoken out to Ellen DeGeneres about how her relationship with fellow Glee star made her feel like 'the luckiest girl in the world.'
The brunette couple, who dated until Cory's untimely death earlier this year from a combination of heroin and alcohol, made their relationship public on Ellen's show, meaning the interview must've had even more significance to 27-year-old Lea.
'It's one of my favourite memories. I remember when he came home that night he kind of puffed out his chest and he was like, "I talked about you on Ellen today."'
'I'm trying to do my best for him because I know that's what he would have wanted'
'I was so happy. He's such a private person and I literally lived everyday of my life feeling like the luckiest girl in the whole world.'
'I just thought he was the greatest man and so at that moment, that memory, it means so much to me.'

Cory was just 31 when he tragically died in a hotel room after a night taking heroin and drinking alcohol. And Lea has revealed she still isn't over what happened six months ago, opening up to Ellen about her copying strategy.
'It's very hard but you will find it and I think at a certain point you can choose to sort of fall from this or you can choose to rise. And that's what I'm trying to do my best for him because I know that's what he would have wanted, and to just do my best and to you know, hopefully make something positive for where I go in the rest of my life.'
