Lea Michele is reportedly in a relationship with Matthew Paetz, a former professional gigolo.

TMZ reports that Michele's new boyfriend previously worked for Cowboys4Angels, a paid companionship website. And that the two have been dating for months.

"She has very consciously kept the relationship on the down low," TMZ wrote.

Paetz does not have an active account on the escort service website, but he supposedly worked as "Christian." His description said he was bicoastal, a certified life coach, dating expert, model and massage therapist. He charged $350 per hour and $17,500 for several days.

He stopped working for the site when he and the "Glee" actress started dating in late May. They met on the set of her "On My Way" music video.

"Matthew most recently took on a client for a weekend during the Stagecoach music festival in April," TMZ reported. "He's gone on hiatus since he started dating Lea."

Michele has not spoken out about her new relationship.

She was previously dating Cory Monteith, who died in July 2013 at age 31.

Peitz posts videos of himself giving dating advice on his social media accounts. And he shares similarly gentlemanly comments on Twitter. For example, earlier this month, he said, "Gentleman's rule: never let a lady or child walk curb side."

Mostly, his account is full of positivity.

"Random thought: Consistently focus on adding value to others and you'll always get back more than you need," he said.

Michele may be hesitant to confirm the relationship for fear of what fans may think.

A source close to Michele told HollywoodLife at the beginning of this year that the actress was open to dating.

"She is at the point where she wants to test the water," the source said. "Lea doesn't have anyone on particular in mind to date, but she would welcome the chance to fall in love again."
