Darren Criss says his romance with
Chris Colfer on the Fox musical-comedy Glee has staying power.
Out-and-proud
student Blaine Anderson, played by Criss, and former McKinley High
student Kurt Hummel, played by Colfer, became an item on the latest
episode of Glee
titled Original Song.
The pair, who now wear identical navy
blue with red trim Dalton Academy uniforms and sing in the school's
glee club, the Warblers, kissed after Blaine had an epiphany right
before regionals and confessed his feelings to Kurt, ending months of
speculation about whether the pair was destined for romance.
But love is fleeting for high schoolers
in Lima, Ohio, so it's good to hear Criss say he believes the couple
has staying power.
“They're in the honeymoon stage, and
they've just recently gotten together, so that's really new and
exciting like any new relationship is,” Criss
told celebrity entertainment website E! Online. “I think
[Blaine] has something really special with Kurt. It's not just a
flash in the pan kind of crush.”
Glee returns after a five-week
hiatus on Tuesday.
