The Calgary-born star died of a drug overdose in 2013 in Vancouver, B.C. at the age of 31.

“Hard to believe it’s been 4 years… We miss you C… love you more,” her tweet read. A black-and-white Polaroid photo of the couple was attached to the tweet.

Last April, Michele posted two photos to Instagram to show off some new tattoos.

One was a permanent reminder of Monteith, her former Glee co-star and boyfriend.

To honour him the Scream Queens star got a simple number five tattooed on the side of her rib cage.

The number five represents the football jersey digit Monteith’s Glee character wore as quarterback at McKinley High.

Michele and her Glee co-stars have an annual tradition of honouring the late Monteith — who was a fan favourite and beloved by the musical show’s crew — on the day of his death.

After meeting on the Glee set in 2009, Michele and Monteith started dating in 2012, a mere year before his death. The two were inseparable, travelling around the world together and even planning their future and a family.
