After the drowning death of his ex-wife Naya Rivera, Ryan Dorsey has found comfort in her model younger sister’s company.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Daily Mail reports that Dorsey, 37, and Nickayla Rivera, 25 have reportedly grown close since the tragic death of Rivera, who drowned while boating with her son on a California lake in July.
⠀⠀
Dorsey and Rivera have been seen out together several times in September on shopping trips and have been spotted holding hands.

Now it seems things are getting more serious, as the pair have recently rented a new $5,000 a month three-bedroom pad in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley and will be helping Dorsey raise Josey, 5, Dorsey’s son with Naya.

On September 6, Nickayla helped Dorsey move his belongings from his previous home in North Hills to their new home.
A couple of days later, they were seen spending a couple of hours loading his furniture into a rented moving van, which Dorsey drove to their new house. Nickayla followed him in his black Chevrolet Tahoe.
Dorsey was pushing a shopping cart around a Target store on September 19, while the pair appeared playful, holding hands and Nickayla pushing him and laughing.
“They were fooling around and chatting the whole time,” a witness to one of the pair’s shopping trips to a Target told the Daily Mail. “They’re obviously helping lift each other’s spirits.”
Naya was reported missing on July 8 after Josey was found alone and asleep on their rented boat on Lake Piru in California.
Her body was found five days later after an extensive search. Josey told investigators that his mother pushed him back up onto the boat before she disappeared into the water.
Naya and Dorsey welcomed son Josey in 2015 and eventually divorced in 2018.
