"The story about Jane Lynch and her new love has been unfolding since January when viewers saw Lynch kiss the woman sitting next to her at the Golden Globe Awards. Then she told the UK publication the Guardian that she was in a committed relationship and the New York Times that she was getting married in May," says SheWired.com. "The lucky lady is psychologist Dr. Lara Embry."
