Lea Michele has been spotted with what some are speculating to be a baby bump. New photos of the “Glee” star have sparked viral rumors that the actress is expecting a baby, although the star has not commented on the rumors as yet.

The actress is better known for dressing to impress, and is often seen out in spectacular outfits. So when she went out recently dressed down and using a bag to seemingly cover her stomach, the rumors were set off.

Michele was on her way to a nail salon when she was snapped in a number of photos.

The photos have led to people suggesting that Michele and boyfriend, Cory Monteith, are expecting a new bundle of joy sometime early next year. Although the actress and Cory have both not spoken out for or against the rumors, so everything remains pure speculation.

The couple met on the set of "Glee" and have been a couple for some time now.

They are recognized as a serious couple, and are both devoted to the show that brought them both a new level of fame.

Amid the baby rumors there are reports that the actress is also set to release her first solo album sometime soon. So many are using that as ammunition to fire down the baby bump rumors.

Others have suggested the star was simply dressing down for the day - yes even Lea Michele dresses down some days apparently!

Others still, believe that she was just feeling bloated that day.

Effie Orfanides has said, "She also isn't married, and while that's not always a necessity for some celebs, Lea seems like she wants to do things in the correct order," on celebrity news website, The Examiner.

Michele plays Rachel Berry on Glee and has been widely praised for her portrayal of the character in the show. She was even nominated for an Emmy Award for her acting as the Broadway star wannabe, who will go to extreme lengths to be accepted and make it.

Michele and boyfriend Cory have not spoken publicly about any plans to marry, and have not said anything publicly about the baby bump. Only time will tell.
