"Fresh outta Pre-K boy!" Ryan happily wrote. The 37-year-old actor noted that Josey, whose mother was the late "Glee" star Naya Rivera, will soon prepare for kindergarten.

Naya passed away in July 2020 after a drowning accident while boating at Lake Piru in Southern California. The late star's son was the lone survivor of the unfortunate incident.

He said this is his first year of celebrating Father's Day without his daughter.

Authorities reportedly believed that the actress, who had a history of vertigo, managed to save her son's life by pushing him up on the boat before she drowned.

Since Naya's tragic death, Ryan has started to re-build new memories for their child with the help of his family. He was married to Naya for four years before they divorced in 2018.

In addition to creating new memories, the "Blood Father" actor and Josey have been living in a new home with his son's aunt, Nickayla Rivera, Naya's younger sister.

Dorsey and Nickayla's situation may be unusual, but it has somehow worked for them. George Rivera, the sisters' father, recently admired them for raising Josey well.

While mourning Naya's death, George revealed he had a hard time adjusting to his new reality. He said this is his first year of celebrating Father's Day without his daughter.

The whole family has vowed to look after Naya's only son. George also added that there are several occasions that Josey would ask and talk about his late mother.

George shared they would freely talk to Josey about Naya. He described his grandson as a strong child even though the year 2020 left them devastated and broken.
