Fans were also very excited about the news, and tweeted lots of Glee references. Some even pointed out that Michele is pregnant at the same time as her Glee character Rachel Berry. The show’s finale was set five years in the future — 2020 — and showed Rachel as a surrogate for Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss).
