"  Lea Michele and her new boyfriend Matthew Paetz made their first semi-official public outing as a couple this week, with a sunny afternoon&amp;#039;s walk in the park. The pair were first reported as a couple last month, after meeting on the set of one of Lea&amp;#039;s music videos. At the time, People magazine said Lea was &amp;quot;slowly dipping her toe back into the dating waters,&amp;quot; nearly a year after the death of her former boyfriend and Glee co-star Cory Monteith. TMZ, who previously reported Paetz&amp;#039;s background as a life coach, massage therapist, and gigolo via the Cowboys4Angels male escort agency, says the date is a bit of a set-up, perhaps designed to introduce the new BF in a cutesy, traditional date setting. It all looks &amp;quot;like classic set up shots pre-planned with photo agencies,&amp;quot; apparently \u2014 and really, TMZ would know this. And look, the couple changed into their workout gear (both still look picture-ready, of course) for a hike too! That&amp;#039;s twice the photo opportunities in a single afternoon, which is a savvy way of dealing with the paparazzi for sure.
