Lea Michele caresses blossoming baby bump as she shows off ‘favorite’ maternity looks from third trimester

Lea Michele caressed her blossoming baby bump as she showed off some of her ‘favorite’ maternity looks from her third trimester.

The 37-year-old Glee star and her husband Zandy Reich announced in March that they are expecting their second child, a girl.

They are already the proud parents of a three-year-old son named Ever, whom they welcomed in August 2020, about a year and a half after their wedding.

Now, Lea has given her more than eight million Instagram followers a few glimpses of the outfits she wore as she prepared for her daughter’s arrival.

In one particularly heartwarming photo, she could be seen lovingly resting a hand on her stomach, which was draped in a white bodysuit by Bumpsuit.

“I love this, especially with this crazy heat in New York!” wrote the Bronx-born actress. ‘Either to exercise at home or to go out!’

Another ensemble she modeled on Instagram was a long black sleeveless dress from Naadam, complete with a side slit.

“I could wear this dress all day, even to bed at night, it’s so comfortable,” she captioned a mirror selfie she took in the garment: “It’s not a maternity dress but is super stretchy and soft. It was perfect for running around the other day.”

She also wore a cream knit Zara number, explaining: “I got this to wear to dinner, it’s @Zara and I just sized up and it was really comfortable.”

Lea was pictured in a more casual aspect wearing a flowing white Xirena blouse that fell far enough to almost completely hide her matching shorts.

She gushed over the photo that Xirena is “a brand I’ve always loved and I just sized up in these super cozy shorts and shirt.”

Her final appearance was in a floor-length Bumpsuit house dress, which she modeled while striking a spokesmodel pose with a glass of green juice.

Lea’s posts come just two weeks after she beamed revealing her son Ever is “really excited” to be a big brother.

“It’s so sweet talking to him about it,” she wrote in an Instagram Q&A alongside a photo of herself and Ever together. “I can’t wait for them to meet!”

In response to a fan who asked how she was feeling, she posted a bikini photo showing her stomach and crowed, “I’m feeling pretty good!” Thank you for asking!’

She added: ‘Every pregnancy has its own ups and downs and we are dealing with them as best we can. But I’m grateful for the energy I have, while at the same time caring for a toddler and feeling so grateful.”

A few years ago, shortly after Ever turned two, she revealed that she bled heavily during her first pregnancy and had to be on bed rest.

“I still wasn’t sure if the pregnancy would last,” she continued The Drew Barrymore Show. ‘It was horrible. It was the lowest I have ever experienced in my entire life.”

However, she noted that she and Zandy had grown closer through the ordeal, saying, “Having our son and experiencing the challenges we endured during pregnancy was something that unfortunately created a stronger bond within us. ‘
