Melissa Benoist Married to ‘Glee’ Boyfriend Blake Jenner, Talks ‘Supergirl’ Workout after Pilot Leak

It is a very exciting for Melissa Benoist. The actress is flying high right now. Not only is she starring the all new CBS series, Supergirl, but she also just got married. It was recently revealed that Benoist and her boyfriend and Glee co-star Blake Jenner have gotten married. Benoist was spotted at SDCC wearing a wedding ring, (via Us Weekly) reportedly boasting about the secret ceremony. Meanwhile, Melissa recently opened up about her Supergirl workout, following the leak of the pilot episode of the new series.

Recently, the newly married Supergirl star Melissa Benoist opened up to People about getting into fighting shape to play the female Superhero icon:

"I don't think I've ever hit anyone before, and so I definitely had to learn technique -- like how to actually punch someone and not hurt yourself more than you're hurting the person you're punching. And core work and Pilates and [plyometrics], a lot of it...The motivation [from working out], the drive, it definitely affects [you]. I don't have a choice … I can't sit down and be like, oh, I'm done. I want some popcorn. I have to stay on top of my game.”

However, flying high is worth all the hard work, as Benoist adds:

“The wire work is really difficult, but so fun. And when you get it right, watching the result is exhilarating. It's a really, really cool feeling to know what it felt like, the energy I had to exert to create those flying scenes. And then the way they look is really rewarding."
