Lea Michele Breaks Her Silence; Says Cory Monteith Will 'Forever' Be With Her

Even though we knew this day would come, our heart just wasn’t prepared.

Lea Michele has released her first tweet since the tragic passing of boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith.

Mournful yet thankful, she posted the following Monday morning:

Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart. pic.twitter.com/XVlZnh9vOc

— Lea Michele (@msleamichele) July 29, 2013

You’re both forever in OUR heart, Lea!

We’re here for you, girl. Stay strong..

Though her rep released a brief statement earlier in the month, this is Lea’s first personal — and public — response to the horrible news. As always, she’s handled it eloquently.
