Naya tragically drowned in July 2020 in Lake Piru in Ventura County, Calif, at the age of 33. She and Ryan were married from 2014-2018, and welcomed Josey in September 2015.

Bad things happen and there’s no reason for it, and you just have to do your best to be a good person.’ It’s hard trying to explain things that you can’t really make sense of no matter what age you are,” he added. Last month, Ryan also revealed what Josey says he remembers from his last moments with Naya.
