Who is Naya Rivera?

    From kid actress to award-winning Glee performer and a doting mom.

    Growing up in Los Angeles, Rivera began her career on television at the age of 4, as Hillary Winston in the US sitcom, The Royal Family. Eventually, she made guest appearances on shows like Family Matters and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. 
In 2009, she was well known for her role as Santana Lopez in the hit show, Glee, which was nominated for 32 Emmys and 9 Golden Globes and she starred in it till 2015. 

    Two years after the end of Glee, she jump started her career in music by releasing debut single called 'Sorry', with the ex-fiance, Big Sean. In 2014, they split but her fiance showed support when he got the news that she went missing. 

    Rivera then married actor Ryan Dorsey and welcomed their son, Josey Dorsey in September 2015. Two years later, they divorced. Over the years, she recorded many sweet memories with her son, from birthday and holidays to quiet, intimate moments. 

    While raising her son, she maintained her career as an actress. Her last project was Step Up: High Water, which started on Youtube.
