Lea Michele and her husband, Zandy Reich, recently welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Emery Sol Reich. The couple, who already have a 3-year-old son named Ever, shared their joy on Instagram with a heartfelt post featuring a photo of their growing family. Lea expressed how full their hearts are with the arrival of their new daughter.
Lea and Zandy, who married in 2019, first announced they were expecting their second child in March 2024. Lea shared her excitement with her followers through photos showcasing her baby bump. The couple later revealed they were expecting a girl, with Lea celebrating the news in a Mother’s Day post, reflecting on the joy of being a mother to both a son and soon-to-be daughter.
For Lea, becoming a mother has significantly shifted her priorities. She has spoken about the challenges of balancing her career with motherhood, particularly after the birth of her son, Ever. Lea described the difficulty she faced when she returned to work for the Spring Awakening anniversary show, just a year after becoming a mother, and the guilt she felt being away from her child.
Despite the challenges, Lea continued to pursue her passion for performing. She took on the lead role in the revival of *Funny Girl*, playing Fanny Bryce, a character that resonates with her love for the stage. However, her family remains her top priority, as evidenced by her decision to temporarily step away from the show when her son Ever experienced a health scare in March 2023.
Fortunately, Ever’s health improved, and Lea shared that her family was doing well. She expressed gratitude for the incredible support she received from both her cast and her family during that challenging time. Lea’s journey highlights her dedication to both her family and her career, as she continues to balance the demands of motherhood with her love for performing.
