Naya Rivera's Ex and Sister Reportedly Moved in Together to Help Raise Her Son

Naya Rivera's ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, and her family are working together to help raise the late actress' son. When the Glee star passed away during a boating trip in July, she left behind 5-year-old Josey Dorsey, who she was able to save before she disappeared under the surface of the water. Naya and Ryan shared custody of Josey, but now, her sister has stepped up in a major way to help raise him.

According to The Daily Mail and as covered by Page Six, Ryan and Nickayla Rivera moved into a three-bedroom home together and were seen shopping for household items at a nearby Target. A source told the outlet, "They were fooling around and chatting the whole time. They’re obviously helping lift each other’s spirits." It's great these two can rely on each other and lean on their families to do what's best for Josey.

After authorities confirmed they found Naya's body in California's Lake Piru, Nickayla posted a tribute to her big sister on Instagram. She wrote:

[quote] "Sister,⁣ There are no words to describe my love for you. Side by side or miles apart, our connection is infinite. Our bond is unbreakable. We were complete opposites, yet simultaneously the same. The yin to my yang. I never knew that by losing you, I would find so much of you in myself. ⁣⁣I’ve never known a life without you in it & still can’t imagine it. My world is turned upside down. But through it all, everything we were, we are still. I’ll always look at you with the same eyes as I did when I was young.⁣ My shmaya, I’ll love you for eternity & miss you every second of my life."

Ryan also honored Naya with a post, writing:

[quote] "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...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. 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."

The question I think everyone has about this relationship is whether it started before or after the mysterious death of the A-/B+ list actress. If it was before, then that just adds fuel to the fire.

that's sweet; my dad died when I was young and I watched my mother for 52 years live without him.

I had no father stepping in like they do on TV Just an assholic brother who felt displaced by my presence.

I hope this kid feels some sort of security in his life.

R19 In most other cultures, the deceased wife’s sister was the first choice because she would love the children and raise them with care. And vice versa, the dead husband’s brother was the first choice for the widow.

This was the case in ancient Israel, too.

Even so, the real question has already been asked. When did they actually get together?

This is very fishy.

Naya Rivera's sister, Nickayla Rivera, is asking for "compassion" following a report that claimed she and her sister's ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, have moved in to a new home together.

The model did not confirm or deny the report, instead emphasizing that her main priority is Naya's son, Josey. "In the darkest time of my life, the only thing that is important is my friends & family," she wrote on her Instagram Story. "Showing up for my nephew, even though I can't show up for myself."

Nickayla seemingly referenced Monday's headlines, stating that she's "not concerned with the way things look because no one can see each agonizing moment we all endure."

The model continued, "What matters most I've learned, is to show compassion, not to judge others, & never take a moment of life for granted. I hope you all do the same."

Ryan has not commented on the situation.

Dorsey and Rivera were married for two years, but divorced in 2016, just a year after they welcomed Josey. They maintained an amicable relationship.

Following their split, the pair co-parented their baby boy, with a source previously telling E! News that prior to Naya's death she said that they "finally had a great co-parenting system worked out."

Ryan appeared to share that same joy, writing in his tribute to Naya, "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 maintains full custody of the 5-year-old.

It's been over two months since Naya accidentally drowned while swimming with her son at a California lake on July 8. According to an investigative and autopsy report, the actress saved her son in her final moments, with Josey telling authorities that she pushed him back onto the boat before disappearing in the water.

The Glee star was laid to rest in a private funeral attended by her family at Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Hollywood Hills, Calif. on July 24.

What a creepy ass sister.

Totally disloyal and disrespectful of her sister’s emotional stability prior to her death and after.

That’s why I’ve always though Naya’s death was an intentional suicide. The entire thing was strange from the moment she pulled into the parking lot, and sped of on a boat she didn’t even know how to get into gear correctly.

I knew something was wrong when I saw that footage, and this right here, is probably it.

I’m sorry, but FUCK her sister. You don’t hook up with exes of friends , nor do you move on with your sister’s ex.

IDGAF what anyone says. It’s completely inappropriate, and you just don’t do it. Now, if the person in question is totally over the person, and wants to see you pursue something like that, because they actually respect and care for their ex and think you guys would make a great couple, that’s a different story, but I’ve never gone for that idea, even though I’ve had friends attempt to set me up with their exes.

Gross.

The sister is pretty and seems really young and inexperienced. Don’t know her age but she looks like a kid.

I take back my previous comment about her being disrespectful to her sister, and assume the kid is just grieving and the boyfriend/father has a type.

Grief? What grief? The article says they were seen "fooling around" ehile shopping for house stuff, looking quite happy, mere weeks after Naya's death. Give me a break. This is incredibly gross. You don't happily move in together immediately after your ex/sister's death. They were definitely fucking before that.

Is there a way they could've contributed to her death? This reads like a Law and Order episode, and not a very good one.

The sister is YOUNG.

He moved in on the little sister.

When? Probably before Naya died. Way before. Which might explain the assault Naya perpetuated upon him back in 2016.

I saw the pictures. They looked as far from being happy and fooling around as it's possible. He looked devastated. I was actually surprised, because Naya was his ex. Daily mail sucks if they actually wrote something like that.

by Anonymousreply 66October 4, 2020 11:50 AM

R66, not sure what pics you saw, but I saw pics that appeared to be snapped in the Westfield- outdoor mall in Century City, and they were NOT grieving.

They were full on , couple in a relationship-PDA mode & I'm not sure if those were pre-arranged pap pics. If I had to bet, I’m guessing they were not.

The following day, I read a statement he released saying specifically that they’re not in a romantic relationship. However, they were both papped and wearing their black CoViD-masks in (perhaps) Westfield, or the Santa Monica mall or some mall, somewhere, so I call bullshit.

Looked for the pics and I cannot find them because I cleared my cookies last night. Lol. But I ain’t lying. I’m 100 percent certain of what I viewed.

I saw their pics that was posted in Daily Mail (notoriously unreliable and trashy tabloid). Just checked again. Not a single one of dozens of pictures from different days and different locations looks like a picture of couple in love or in lust. To be honest, i don't care even if they are fucking. Who am i to judge? But pictures i saw together with statements from both people involved makes me doubt it. I hope they are not going to change their minds because of idiots on Internet.
