flash by when I hear a certain song Nia and Ryan tied the NW in the summer of 2014 welcoming their son Josie less than a year later in February 2015 and while the couple eventually split going on to finalize their divorce in 2018 they remained close and committed co-parents to their son however Ryan became Josie Soul Guardian after Nia's shocking death in July 2020 following a drowning accident while she was out boating with Josie at California's Lake Peru and it seems that Ryan is still grappling with that sudden and heartbreaking loss as he navigates Life
as a single dad with the Yellowstone actor going on to write I shake my head off often still in disbelief they say time heals all but all is not grief doing the best I can for our JoJo Binks as the time goes by I'm often alone and sit and think I think more of our better times like this picture from the past but it's still thingss Ryan previously opened up about his grieving process in an exclusive interview with E news back in 2023 it's so extremely hard hard for me to uh I can't watch video
I can't um pictures are still hard to look at uh you know we got pictures in the house here and it's like it's like that thing you try to avoid you know it's it's it's still extremely hard for me to and every now and then I I'll make eye contact with these these pictures and whether it's the three of us or just her and him and it's just uh it's really hard to you know to to accept you know [Music]
