Naya Rivera’s ex husband Ryan Dorsey breaks his silence on the Glee actress’ tragic death

Ryan Dorsey broke his silence on Saturday regarding the tragic passing of his ex wife Naya Rivera.

Rivera was confirmed dead nearly two weeks ago after going missing during a trip to Lake Piru with her and Dorsey’s four-year-old son Josey on July 8. She was 33.

In an emotional post shared to his Instagram, Dorsey expressed disbelief over the loss of Rivera and vowed to keep her memory alive for their young son.   

‘This is so unfair…there’s not enough words to express the hole left in everyone’s hearts. I can’t believe this is life now. I don’t know if I’ll ever believe it,’ began the 37-year-old Ray Donovan star. 

‘You were just here… We were just in the back swimming with Josey the day before. Life just isn’t fair. I don’t know what to say…I’m thankful for our times and our journey that brought us together and gave us the sweetest and kindest smart little boy we could ever hope for.’

Dorsey went on to reflect on all the times that Rivera would ‘get annoyed’ at him for filming her on the app Snapchat.

But now that she has passed on, Dorsey could not be more thankful for all of the moments he was able to preserve for their four-year-old son.

‘I remember sometimes you used to get annoyed at me: “Ryan can you stop snap chatting!” Haha. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you because I have hundreds and probably thousands of snaps and videos that Josey will have forever and know his momma loved him more than life, and how much fun we had together as he was growing up,’ explained Dorsey.

‘Life is all about good times and bad times but with Josey it makes the bad a little less so because a part of you will always be with us. He’ll never forget where he came from. We miss you. We will always love you. Love you Meep.’

After concluding his open letter to his late ex wife, Ryan went on to thank followers, fans, friends, and family who have actively reached out him during this unimaginable time. 

‘To everyone that reached out and I haven’t had a chance to or just didn’t get back to you…thank you all for the overwhelming love and support you’ve sent our way. I’ll just say in closing, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, forgive…forget…don’t hold grudges….if you have nothing nice to say maybe try not to say anything. 

‘There’s peace in silence. Time on Earth is precious and you just never know….you never know what could happen. Hold your loved ones close, and cherish the times you have with those you care about,’ concluded Dorsey.

Ryan and Naya were married from 2014, until their divorce in 2018. They welcomed their son Josey in 2015.
