Naya Rivera cuddles son in last Instagram post before Glee star went missing

Naya Rivera's final Instagram shows a tender moment with her son before fears were sparked for the actress' safety.

The 33-year-old has been reported missing after her son Josey was found alone on a boat floating on Lake Piru in South California.

Hours before the search started, the former Glee star took to social media to share a picture of her and her boy.

The close-up snap shows a smiling Naya planting a tender kiss on Josey's face.

"Just the two of us," she wrote in the caption.

Her 1.9 million followers on the site immediately praised the sweet mother-son moment.

"Cuties!" one told her.

"Just the way it should be," added another.

While a third called Naya 'mummy goals.'

The actress - best known for playing Santana Lopez in Glee - shares custody of Josey with her ex husband Ryan Dorsey, who she divorced in 2018.

The actress has been reported missing after going swimming in a lake with Joesey after she rented a pontoon boat.

Ventura County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of the toddler alone on a boat around 4.48pm on Wednesday.

The boy is reportedly unharmed and is said to have told investigators that he and his mother were swimming, but she never got back into the boat.

According to TMZ, Naya's life jacket was still on the boat and Josey was asleep when he was first found.

The boy is said to be OK and now with family members while the search for Naya continues.

Authorities have reported that they are searching for a presumed drowning victim.

Divers at the scene have warned that "this could take several days" as the search for Naya continues. 

A search-and-rescue operation was undertaken at the lake but she was not found.

Authorities have suspended the search for the night at 8pm with a plan to resume on Thursday.
