Emma Roberts & Chord Overstreet: Romantic Walk on the Beach

Emma Roberts holds hands with new boyfriend Chord Overstreet as they take a stroll along the beach on Sunday (July 24) in Malibu, Calif.

Over the weekend, Chord‘s, 22, destiny as Sam on Glee was revealed by executive producer Brad Falchuk at the Comic-Con panel.

While Chord was offered a recurring guest starring role on the third season of the show, Brad said “he decided he would have opportunities elsewhere that he would like to pursue, and we can’t force him to work. We told him to go with god [sic].”
