Naya Rivera married secretly sure had the world surprised. According to The Independent, the former "Glee" actress swapped vows over the weekend with long-term friend Ryan Dorsey.

27-year-old Naya Rivera married secretly in an intimate ceremony with actor Ryan Dorsey in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The Independent reports that People magazine was able to cover the event exclusively for their next issue.

Indeed, Naya Rivera married secretly is a surprise to many. With the short amount of time that Rivera has known Dorsey and with the quick jump to wedlock, it comes as no surprise if the reason for Naya Rivera married secretly is for purposes of revenge.

According to Hollywood Life, Rivera and Dorsey married after only four months of her failed engagement with Big Sean. Not only that, Naya Rivera married secretly during the date she set her marriage to the hip hop artist. It seems that Rivera is trying to send a message to her ex.

Big Sean reportedly called off his engagement to the actress on Apr. 9. Then, on Jul. 19, only four months after their engagement got called off, Naya Rivera married secretly and walked down the sandy aisle of the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to marry actor Ryan Dorsey.

According to a source close to Naya as told to Us Weekly, 'July 19th is also Ryan's birthday, making this an even more joyous occasion.' Reports say that Naya did not mention the marriage to most of her friends, as well as her relationship with the actor. Therefore, 'the whole thing is a complete surprise.'

Another bizarre coincidence was that Big Sean was reportedly also in Mexico on Jul. 19. According to Hollywood Life, he was in Punta Mita, Mexico, recording Kanye West. Kim Kardashian was of course with Kanye, and reports say that Naya's a big fan of Kim Kardashian. The twist of fate certainly seemed odd and somewhat funny that the circumstances of Naya Rivera married can be linked to people in her past.

As for the surprising marriage, a source also told Us that the couple have actually been 'friends for a long time.' It was only later that 'It turned into love!'

The couple also told People exclusively, 'We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife. Our special day was fated and everything we could have ever asked for. True love always prevails.'

Though Naya Rivera married secretly seemed hasty, Glamour Magazine said that the couple had already been friends for years. Apparently, even though Naya's engagement to rapper Big Sean ended in April, her friendship with Dorsey blossomed into true love. 

Though the exact moment when the two began their romance is still unknown, Hollywood Life reports that Dorsey prefers women who are able to take control and aren't afraid of making the first move. It won't be surprising if Naya did actually do just that.

In one of the 2011 issues of Cosmopolitan magazine, Dorsey specifically said that he would 'love it if a girl asked me out or made the first hookup move.' He added that he liked women wearing "leggings or tights," and this is a turn on for him. It appears that Dorsey was able to watch Naya on "Glee," especially since leggings are an actual part of Naya's character, Santana on the TV series.

According to Glamour Magazine, Naya Rivera married secretly occurred while Naya wore a long-sleeved, lace Monique L'Huiller dress, together with a long veil which looked ultra bohemian for their beach wedding. Glamour Magazine said that People have the exclusive picrues.

While Naya's engagement to Big Sean became highly publicised, her relationship to Ryan reporteldy went under the radar until news of their marraige, since the pair's wedding was only attended by the pair's closest family.

Ryan's dad reportedly had not met Naya until a few weeks before Naya Rivera married secretly. Ryan's dad, 59-year-old Arnold Dorsey,, told MailOnline, 'We knew about the wedding six weeks ago, still, it was a bit of a shock! I met Naya a couple of weeks ago, I was working in California and I drove up to her house. She's very tiny, real petite, but real down to earth, not with her nose stuck up in the air.'

Meanwhile, a source told E! News that nobody actually got the timing of Naya Rivera married secretly. The source said that Naya 'was devastated after the break up with Big Sean,' and even though she has been telling everyone she's 'really in love. She seems to believe it' already.

The source explained and even referenced how Naya was dropped as a series regular on "Glee",

The source said, 'I think she wants to do something positive after all the ugly problems with Big Sean and with Glee.'

Naya Rivera married secretly may have come as a surprise for everyone, but reports say that her newly married status have recently been cemented as she already changed her names on her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
