London, March 1 (IANS): Lea Michele says she and her late boyfriend Cory Monteith had discussed having a family together before he passed away last year.

Monteith died due to a drug and alcohol overdose in July 2013. Michele has fond memories of her time with him, reports contactmusic.com.

“We talked about a lot of things like about our children, how we would look like when we grew old and how we can make ourselves fit, where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. When you're at that place in your life with someone, you talk about everything,” the “Glee” star told Glamour magazine.

Michele and Monteith dated for two years after meeting on set of the teen drama.

The actress says believes Monteith would like to see her fall in love again.

But she believes “it's so important to make sure I'm hundred percent okay before I get into a relationship.”

“People have to understand that I can't be alone forever, neither Cory (would) want that,” she added.
