On January 12, 2025, Ryan Dorsey honored his late ex-wife, Naya Rivera, on what would have been her 38th birthday. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he shared a poem reflecting on their memories and the profound impact of her loss. Dorsey expressed his ongoing commitment to their 9-year-old son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, affectionately referred to as “JoJo Binx,” stating, “I’m doing the best I can for our JoJo Binx.”
Rivera, celebrated for her role as Santana Lopez on “Glee,” tragically drowned in July 2020 during a boating trip with Josey at Lake Piru in California. Investigations revealed that she managed to save her son by placing him back on the boat before succumbing to the waters.
Dorsey’s tribute underscores the enduring grief and cherished memories that continue to influence their lives. He concluded his message with a poignant reminder: “Be kind to the ones you love, you’ll never know when you give your last hug.”
