In a touching tribute marking what would have been Naya Rivera's 38th birthday, her ex-husband Ryan Dorsey and their young son Josey remembered the beloved 'Glee' actress who passed away five years ago.
Dorsey, 41, took to Instagram on January 12 to share an emotional poem commemorating what he called Rivera's "Heavenly Birthday." The 'Justified' actor, who was married to Rivera from 2014 to 2018, expressed his ongoing grief through heartfelt verses that touched on daily reminders of their shared past.
"5 birthdays since you've been gone. Thoughts everyday about how it went wrong. The memories attached to places, Still see all the things, see all our faces," Dorsey wrote in his poignant social media post.
The former couple's son Josey, now 9 years old, continues to be a living connection to Rivera's legacy. The young boy was just four when he lost his mother, making these anniversary tributes particularly meaningful for both father and son.
The remembrance highlights how Rivera's presence continues to be deeply missed by those closest to her, even as time passes. Her untimely death left an indelible mark on both her family and fans worldwide, with these birthday tributes serving as touching reminders of her impact on those who knew and loved her.
The actress, best known for her role as Santana Lopez on the hit series 'Glee,' left behind a powerful legacy both on and off screen, one that her family continues to honor through these annual remembrances.
