Naya Rivera's ex Ryan Dorsey is 'living a nightmare' following Glee star's death

Naya Rivera ‘s ex-husband Ryan Dorsey, who is the father of her child Josey, is reportedly living in a “nightmare” after the Glee star was confirmed dead earlier this week.

Ryan and Naya were married from 2014 until 2018, and they welcomed son Josey in September 2015.

Following Naya’s tragic death, which has so far been classed as accidental by police, a source said: “Ryan has barely slept. It’s just a nightmare.

“Although he wasn’t with Naya, it’s Josey’s mum. Josey needs his mum.”

The source added to People: “Ryan can’t imagine raising Josey without Naya. It’s the most devastating situation.”

The Santana Lopez star’s body was found on Monday, July 3 after being missing for five days in Lake Piru, in Ventura County, California.

The actress’ autopsy report said that her body showed signs of accidental drowning and her condition was consistent with the time cops believe she died.

According to TMZ, it read: “There is no indication from the investigation or examination that drugs or alcohol played a role in the decedent’s death.

“Specimens will be submitted for toxicology testing.”

Naya and Ryan’s son Josey was found alone on a boat in “good health” and he was taken to Ryan.

Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub said that they believe Naya died while saving little Josey.

He said during a news conference: “We know from speaking with her son, that he and Naya swam in the lake together at some point during their journey.

“It was during that time that her son described being helped into the boat by Naya, who boosted him onto the deck from behind.

“He told investigators that he looked back and saw her disappear under the surface of the water.”

Before Naya and Ryan married, they had dated four years previously.

Her ex-boyfriend Tahj Mowry said in a tribute before Naya’s body was found: “You were my first experience with everything; love, intimacy, heartbreak. No woman has ever measured up [to] what you have me or how you made me feel.”

They dated between 2000 and 2004 after meeting on Smart Guy in the 1990s.
