Washington, June 13 : Lea Michele has come to her new boyfriend Matthew Paetz's rescue saying that he's a dating a coach and not a male escort.

Sources told TMZ. com that the 27-year-old ' Glee' star actress confronted Paetz after it emerged that her lover worked for Cowboys4Angels, a website that offers male companions.

Paetz managed to convince Michele that he had only gone on a few dates, which was only to understand the gigolos' life so that he could coach them better, and promised he wouldn't do it again, the insiders added.

Sources said that Michele was still in dark as Paetz had worked as a gigolo for almost a year, which included more than "a few" dates. (ANI)
