She lost her boyfriend Cory Monteith tragically last year when he died of a drugs overdose aged just 31.

And now Lea Michele has opened up on her loss, admitting that she had wanted to have children with her beau, with whom she also starred in Glee.

In an interview with UK's Glamour magazine, Lea said: 'We talked about a lot of things. We talked about children and what we would look like when we grew old and who would be fat and how we would stay thin. We talked about where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do.

'We talked about children': Lea Michele has opened up about her relationship with Cory Monteith in a new interview with UK's Glamour magazine

Loss: Cory died aged 31 in July 2013 after a drugs overdose

'We were done. We were it. When you’re at that place in your life with someone, you talk about everything. But today I feel like I was given the best part of Cory and I’m thankful for that.'

The 27-year-old star dated Cory for two years after meeting on set, and SAID she finally feels 'a bit more back together' after losing the actor.

She said: 'At the start, it’s hard because you’re so physically and mentally shocked and damaged, but after a while you get tired of physically feeling so horrendous, so I started doing yoga, which really helped. Then gradually your mind catches up with your body.

'Now I feel a little bit more back together and I have this blank canvas in front of me, which is what my life can be.

'There’s something sad about that but also something good, because I will take that blank canvas and make something beautiful out of it.'

Lea also admitted that while she would like to fall in love again in the future, she isn't going to rush into a new relationship.

She said: 'I’ve only ever had serious relationships so it’s an adjustment putting myself back into a place of being alone.

Lea Michele leads emotional onscreen tribute to Cory Monteith

Multi-talented: On Wednesday night, Lea attended a playback for her album Louder at Pulse Recording in Los Angeles

The full interview appears in April's Glamour

'And I was under a Cory Monteith spell…it’ll take time to readjust my mind and I’m really not wanting to do that right now.

'I feel like it’s so important to make sure that I’m 100% OK before I can get into a relationship.

'But people have to understand that I can’t be alone forever. Cory wouldn’t want that.'

The Cannonball hitmaker will release her debut album, Louder on March 17, and one of the tracks, If You Say So, represents the last words Cory ever said to her.

The heart-wrenching ballad, which Lea co-wrote with Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler, sees her sing about the week after Cory's tragic death.

Lyrics include: 'It's just a week ago, you said I love you girl.

'I said I love you more. And a breath, a pause, you said, if you say so.'

The full interview with Lea appears in the April issue of UK Glamour magazine, on sale March 3rd.

Lea's debut album Louder is out March 17th.

Every time I see this girl, all I can focus on is her nose. There are good weirdly shaped noses that doesn't take the focus away from the person's face and then there are conspicuous ones that takes away the focus from a person's facial assets...hers is the latter. It makes her pretty eyes, look crossed...

Who are all you people to judge her?!? She took time out and now she's back getting her life together. She loved Cory and he loved her and one week she's planning the wedding the next his funeral. I'd like to see you all deal with that. Lea is amazing. She's an inspiration and I'm sickened to see you all say she's "milking this" etc. you are all vile humans.

Honestly, many of you are making me sick. This woman lost the man she planned on spending her life with--let her grieve. She's a public figure so she grieves in public; that is just how it works. And stop insisting that Cory Monteith was so deep into drugs. Even the coroner stated that it was clear Cory died because his body, which had gone through rehab, was too detoxed to handle the amount of drugs he took. This was a man with a horrible disease that he was trying to beat. He had a slip up. You all digest me in the way that you can't accept a person's faults. Addiction is not isolated to a particular kind of person. And, if you knew Cory, you would know that the type of person he was was fantastic.

Yeah, it comes to a point where you really don't need to share everything. If they were together and shared something really special, keep it between you, close friends and fam. But being on every magazine cover looking all dolled up is really disrespectful. Have a little class and keep your mouth closed. If you want to be in magazines then don't talk about him because it's just odd, choose one or the other.

Can you people just stop?!?! God! You all that are say she is just looking for attention are really immature and childish and pathetic. How would YOU feel if you lost the love of your life, and not even a full year later, and people expect you to not still miss them or mourn for them? How would YOU feel if people called you an attention seeker for crying over your deceased loved ones? Seriously? Stop trying to make yourselves look bad. Just because you aren't getting as much money as these celebrities do, doesn't mean you can or should judge them and call them names. That just makes you a bully. GROW UP ALREADY!!! You all make me sick.

I think it's more likely that this is all people ask her about in interviews rather than she wants to constantly talk about the death of her boyfriend. At least I hope I'm right.

Oh god.. hope she is not still milking it to have some free publicity for her new album ;) !? It would be so disrespectful.. well.. he died cos of an overdose.. so maybe he loved Heroin as much as he loved you or maybe more.. otherwise he would be here with you.. Give it a rest woman & let him go, please.. we no need to know all the details from your personal life.. Cory was a very conservative person so STOP right now & have some real respect for someone you said you still love.. just saying!
