Naya Rivera’s Ex Ryan Dorsey Opens Up About Day of Her Death & Raising Son Josey Alone

Naya Rivera's ex Ryan Dorsey is opening up about her death and raising their son, Josey. See what he said.

Looking back on the day he first got the call that Rivera had gone missing in July 2020 — with authorities at the time finding then-4-year-old Josey sleeping alone on a boat rented by the singer-actress, who was nowhere to be found — Dorsey said he was full of confusion and fear. Rivera’s disappearance quickly made national headlines, with fans, friends and Glee cast members all joining together at the time to voice their fears and pray for her safe return. Dorsey said he immediately drove to Lake Piru from Big Bear, Calif., speeding and “chain-smoking cigarettes” the whole drive before reuniting with Josey as authorities embarked on a search for Rivera’s body.
