Lea Michele caresses her baby bump as she holds hands with husband Zandy Reich during family walk… following death of Naya Rivera
It has been a difficult time for the Glee family following the death of beloved castmate Naya Rivera.
But Lea Michele was with her support system on Monday.
The actress, 33, was spotted taking a stroll through Santa Monica with her husband Zandy Reich and mother Edith Sarfati.

Lea is expecting her first child with Zandy, and the parents-to-be put their love on display as they affectionately held hands.
Lea also gave some TLC to her growing baby bump, giving it a gentle caress.
The actress was more than likely taking it slow and steady during her stroll, considering she is awaiting the arrival of her very first child.
While Zandy and Edith wore rather sporty outfits, Lea opted for a dress, sneakers, and ponytail.

Lea and Zandy wore matching black face masks, while mom Edith wore a funkier, patterned covering.
Though Lea has a lot to look forward to with the newest addition to her family, the last few weeks have no doubt taken a toll on her.
Lea’s Glee costar Naya Rivera died after accidentally drowning during a day at the lake with her four-year-old son Josey, who was later found alone on their boat following the incident.

Naya’s body was recovered last week, and on the same day as the seventh anniversary of Cory Monteith’s death.
Cory starred on Glee, and was dating Lea when he died from an accidental drug overdose at age 31 in 2013.
Lea paid tribute to her late costars on Instagram, where she posted black-and-white snaps of the actors on set.

In addition to the death of Naya, Lea also recently faced accusations of bullying while working on Glee.
Lea deleted her Twitter account after allegedly receiving abusive messages from fans of Naya following her disappearance on July 8.
Naya accused Lea of hostile behaviour during their Glee days in her 2016 book Sorry Not Sorry, however, they seemed to be on good terms in recent months.
