“Quiet”: Naya Rivera remembered by former Ryan Dorsey in a sweet tribute to what would have been his 34th birthday
Ryan Dorsey has paid a sweet tribute to his late ex-wife Naya Rivera for what would have been his 34th birthday on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old actor was married to the Glee star from 2014 to 2018 and is now raising his five-year-old son Josey as a single father after his death last July.
Sharing a photo of her and Rivera with her son, Dorsey wrote on Instagram: “As surreal as it is real you’re gone. If that makes sense, but none of that makes any sense … 34, only I could hear you say “Oh, now I’m old AF!” Ha … Quiet old lady.
