Heather Morris broke down as she talked about her late boyfriend and ex Gûle co-star, Naya Rivera, during an Instagram Live on Sunday. Rivera drowned on July 8 during a boat trip in California with her 4-year-old son, Josey.
Morris, 33, filmed an emotional video thanking fans for their support in the wake of the tragedy. While recording the clip, “You are not alone”, the actress also shared how she dealt with her grief.
“I want to thank all the fans for your love and support, and I want you to know that we are all here with you, that sadness looks different on everyone, and I want you to be gentle and kind to yourself at this time,” she said. .
“Something that has helped me is to write a letter or talk to her and that I hope that helps,” Morris added. ‘But I really just wanted to connect with you guys and tell you how much I love and appreciate you all. That’s it … that’s all I have besides my tears. ”
Earlier in the post, Morris shared how she felt ‘really heavy’ and had an ‘aching in my heart’ to make contacts with fans. ‘
After having played in Rivera’s love interest Gûle, Morris acknowledged how important the storyline had been to viewers.
“Most of you felt like you were your gateway to your current life,” she said. ‘Most of you felt like an inspiration to become your best self, and I want you to know that I was never lost. It was never lost on Naya. We both knew how special that was. I think she knew a little more than I did. I really felt it a lot later, with all the posts and all the people who reached out to it and a lot of the writers knew that too. They write in principle for the fans. ”
“I felt at the moment a very deep need to connect with you all,” Morris added, shrugging. “Because I know just how important our relationship was to all of you and I know that many of you feel very lost and very far away from what happened, maybe that’s a little confusing and that’s completely normal.”
