The entertainment world was rocked nearly five years ago when it was revealed that ‘Glee’ star Naya Rivera had tragically passed away. Now, her ex-husband, actor Ryan Dorsey, is finally breaking his silence on the devastating loss. In a recent interview, Ryan opened up about the heart-wrenching phone call he received on July 8, 2020, informing him that Naya had gone missing after swimming in Lake Piru. Ryan admitted that he knew something terrible had happened and feared the worst.
One of the most heartbreaking aspects of Naya’s passing was that their young son, Josey, was present at the time of her death. Just 4 years old at the time, Josey was found alone on the rental boat, witnessing the tragedy unfold. Ryan shared how he and Josey have been coping with Naya’s absence and how he has taken on the responsibility of raising his son alone while honoring Naya’s memory.
It’s clear that Ryan has faced immense challenges in the wake of Naya’s death, but he has remained strong for Josey. The bond between father and son has undoubtedly been strengthened through the shared experience of grief and loss. As Ryan navigates the complexities of single parenthood, he continues to keep Naya’s legacy alive for Josey.
In the face of such profound sorrow, Ryan Dorsey’s willingness to speak out about his experiences serves as a testament to his resilience and love for Naya and Josey.
