Naya Rivera Files For Divorce From Ryan Dorsey Amid Domestic Abuse Claims

Naya Rivera has decided to file for divorce from her husband, Ryan Dorsey, for the second time around.

In the court documents obtained by The Blast, the “Glee” alum filed for divorce at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday. The filing took place one week after Dorsey told 911 that Rivera had hit him while he was taking their son for a walk.

Rivera cited irreconcilable differences as the main reason for their split. She is also requesting the court to not grant her or Dorsey spousal support. However, Rivera is fighting for joint physical custody of their son, Josey Hollis Dorsey.

The couple tied the knot in 2014, just three months after the actress split from Big Sean. There were speculations suggesting that Rivera “used” Dorsey as her fall back after Big Sean decided to not push through with their wedding. However, she revealed in her memoir, “Sorry Not Sorry,” that her and Dorsey’s relationship go a long way back.

According to Rivera, they started dating when she was still in “Glee.” But when she found out that she was pregnant with her child, she decided to terminate the pregnancy and not tell Dorsey about it. Years passed and she was already engaged to Big Sean. But after their wedding was called off, Dorsey reached out to her and consoled her.

Meanwhile, Rivera’s recent divorce filing is her second attempt at ending her marriage from the actor. In November 2016, she filed for divorce, and they released a joint statement.

“After much consideration, we have made the decision to end our marriage. Our priority is and will always be our beautiful son that we share together. We will continue to be great co-parenting partners for him. We ask for respect and privacy for our family during this difficult time,” the statement read.

But in October of this year, Rivera dismissed her motion for divorce. A source told E! News, “They want to make it work for the sake of their son.”
