Although Matthew Morrison is a lead character on one of the most popular shows on TV, he keeps himself out of the tabloids. With the exception of a story that ran about Matthew going out on a date with Cameron Diaz, we haven’t heard any stories about Matt’s romantic relationships. Does he have a girlfriend? Is he single? Of course I had to ask! If you’d like to catch up with us, here’s Part 1 of Poponthepop.com’s exclusive interview with Matthew Morrison where he talks about what artist he’s going to cover next, Glee casting rumors, and much more!

POTP: So Ricky Martin and Nene Leakes [are guest starring this season]. Is Nene still on the show?
Matthew: Yes, she’s doing this episode we’re doing right now. I haven’t met her yet. I haven’t done any scenes with her. I actually didn’t know who she was.
POTP: You’re not a Real Housewives fan [laughs]?
Matthew: Come on [laughs]! I don’t watch reality shows. I never watch TV unless it’s sports.
POTP: What sports?
Matthew: Right now I’m into the playoffs, football. Baseball, soccer, any sport, ESPN.
POTP: And your hair. Is that a natural curl? You know Sue Sylvester’s always talking about your hair.
Matthew: I actually tried to straighten it out a little bit today, but ya, it’s all natural.
POTP: And are you single?
Matthew: I am right now.
POTP: But you’re, like, always single, as far as I know. Why is that?
Matthew: It could be the best kept secret in Hollywood that I’m courting away my girlfriend.
POTP: Are there phantom girlfriends that nobody can know about [laughs]?
Matthew: I definitely have a girlfriend.
POTP: Is she an actress?
Matthew: No she’s not.
POTP: And you don’t take her on red carpets? Oh no!
Matthew: This is work, ya know. I’m going to be doing all these interviews with people and she’s just going to be standing here.
POTP: That’s true. How long have you been with her?
Matthew: It’s been a while.
POTP: At least a year?
Matthew: Yes.
POTP: So you’re going to get married next year [laughs]?
Matthew: Haha [laughs].
POTP: I’m kidding. Thank you!
Matthew: Thank you. It was so nice to finally meet you!
