When was Josey Dorsey born? Naya Rivera's ex-husband and son keep 'Glee' star's memories 'alive' after her death
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ryan Dorsey and his son, Josey, are "doing well" three years after Naya Rivera died, according to PEOPLE. The 'Glee' star drowned by accident while swimming during a boating trip with her son on Lake Piru in California. The actress' body was found on July 13, 2020, five days after the search started.
Dorsey told E! News in March that he has had to "navigate" talks with his son about what happened to his mother in the three years since her death. Even though Josey hasn't watched much of Dorsey's own work, he claimed that he had shown curiosity about watching some of his mother's programs. Now, sources claimed the father and son were "keeping all the memories of her alive."
