Ryan Dorsey Opens Up About Dating Again After Naya Rivera’s Passing

The actor reflects on single parenthood, his son's wishes for a sibling, and cautiously pursuing a new relationship.

Ryan Dorsey, 41, has begun dating for the first time since the 2020 drowning death of his ex-wife, Naya Rivera, with whom he shares a 9-year-old son, Josey.
Dorsey revealed that Josey has long expressed a desire for a sibling and a stepmother, but he remains cautious about introducing someone new into their lives.
He acknowledges the challenges of balancing single parenthood, his career, and his personal life, noting that raising Josey alone has been a full-time responsibility.
Dorsey and Josey recently relocated to West Virginia to be closer to family, where he continues to honor Rivera’s memory by ensuring her legacy lives on for their son.
While optimistic about his new relationship, Dorsey emphasizes taking things slowly to protect Josey’s emotional well-being after the family’s past tragedies.
