Nearly three seasons in, Lea Michele's Rachel Berry finally has her family portrait.

The "Glee" star — whose character's two gay dads have been referenced countless times but never seen — tweeted the first look at the Berry family from the set featuring her with the recently cast Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell.





The duo were cast earlier this week and are set to first appear on the Feb. 14 Valentine's Day episode, fittingly titled 'Heart'.

Since the casting, Michele has voiced her excitement online, tweeting, "So excited that we're finally going to get to meet Rachel's dads!!! So anxious to get to work with both of them!!"

"This is definitely going to be the best day ever. Getting ready to shoot my first scene with my two dads!"
