Leah Michele, known for her roles in Glee and on Broadway, has announced that she is expecting her second child. The actress shared the news through a series of maternity photos on her Instagram account. Michele expressed her joy, stating that both she and her husband, Zandy Reich, along with their first child Ever, are thrilled about the upcoming addition to their family.
Michele and Reich tied the knot in 2019 and welcomed their first child, son Ever, in 2020. The family's excitement over the pregnancy news is evident, marking a new chapter in their lives.
Prior to her pregnancy announcement, Michele recently concluded her role as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl. The show, which had initially faced mixed reviews, saw Michele stepping into the role after Beanie Feldstein's departure. Michele's portrayal garnered positive feedback, with the production managing to recoup its costs and running for almost 600 performances at the August Wilson Theatre in New York.
During her final performance, Michele received seven standing ovations, a testament to her talent and dedication to the role. She expressed gratitude to her fans for their support and love throughout her time on Broadway, calling it an extraordinary chapter in her life.
Notably, Michele's portrayal of Fanny Brice held special significance for fans, given her character Rachel Berry's connection to the role in Glee. Rachel's performances of iconic songs like Don't Rain On My Parade resonated with viewers, creating a parallel between Michele's on-screen and on-stage personas.
Glee, the popular TV series created by Ryan Murphy, showcased Michele's vocal prowess and emotional depth through her character Rachel Berry. The actress's rendition of My Man during the encore of her final Broadway show further highlighted her versatility and talent.
As Michele looks forward to the arrival of her second child, fans and well-wishers eagerly anticipate her next steps in both her personal and professional life.
