'Sean will make a great father': Naya Rivera opens up about marriage and family plans as she shows off her amazing physique for sexy magazine shoot
|
She regularly makes an appearance on various Sexiest Women polls around the world thanks to her stunning exotic looks and enviable dance-honed physique.
So it's little wonder that hot commodity Naya Rivera is off the market, having announced her engagement to rapper Big Sean in October after just six months of dating.
Getting back to her Puerto Rican roots for the new issue of Cosmopolitan For Latinas magazine, the star shows off her fun and decidedly sexy style in a number of revealing outfits as she opens up about her hopes and dreams for the future - which includes having children with the man she says will 'make a great father someday'.
Va-va-voom! Naya Rivera shows off her enviable dance-honed physique in a number of barely-there outfits during a sexy shoot in Venice, California for the upcoming Spring 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan For Latinas, on sale February 4
'I think he's going to be an amazing husband, and he'll make a great father someday,' she gushes of the 25-year-old - real name Sean Anderson - whom she met on Twitter early last year before taking their budding romance offline. 'He's so kind to people.'
Identifying the most with her Latin heritage - she's half Puerto Rican, a quarter African American and a quarter German - the star proudly admits that she inherited the tough, independent traits that come with it.
However, in Sean, she found someone who is equally strong, which is part of what drew her to him in the first place.
'He wears the pants in our relationship, which I love,' she says. 'We Latinas are very independent and strong, so it's even sweeter that I've found somebody who can let me out of that role for a minute.'
Not an inch to pinch: The Glee star, whose debut solo album is set to drop in the coming months, showed off her fun and flirty style in the photo shoot, showing off her washboard stomach and plenty of toned skin in a number of revealing ensembles
It's also important to her that any children the couple have grow up knowing their Latin roots - which includes being bilingual.
'It sucks because I have no-one to [speak Spanish] to, but it’s something I need to learn when I have kids. They need to be fluent,' she insists.
As the all-singing, all-dancing former cheerleader Santana Lopez in hit Fox musical series Glee, it's little wonder the star is in tip-top physical shape.
But with a promising new career as a solo singer - her debut single Sorry was released on September 17, ahead of her album dropping in the coming months - she's looking better than ever as she rebrands and relaunches herself.

While the magazine shoot in Venice, California took place before she recently dyed her signature long dark locks blonde, Naya proudly displays her washboard stomach in a number of crop tops and high-waisted skirts and shorts.
The 27-year-old is captivating as she pierces the lens with her sultry dark eyes, with only a natural bronze covering of make-up enhancing her already flawless complexion and a slick of kohl eyeliner accentuating her features.
In one photo, the actress sits on the hood of a classic white car on Venice's famed boardwalk, wearing just a sheer silver chain top embellished with sparkling clear crystals over a strapless black leather bodysuit, along with a pair of impressive black strappy stilettos that add length to her already seemingly endless pins.
In keeping with the spring theme, the star dons plenty of bright, colourful outfits in the other shots - including a red and white silk bomber jacket and matching shorts teamed with a black and white striped crop top, a figure-hugging canary yellow strapless dress and a low-cut blue and black patterned bodice paired with a black and yellow Aztec-print skirt.

Naya credits her success to her tenacity and drive from a young age, saying that by nature she's a 'go-getter'.
'I was very resourceful when it came to getting a job. I was the ultimate liar on a résumé,' she admits. 'At the tender age of 19, I said I had a bachelor's degree; they never checked! Even when I didn't have much, I always acted as if I had everything I wanted. Latin women are go-getters by nature.
We have a certain charm and finesse that gets us what we want.'

And that clearly extends to men, with the beauty revealing she's already taken to the role of domestic goddess as she prepares to wed her beau.
'Latinas are really great nurturers who are great to our men; we love hard and we love to cook,' she says. 'The other morning I woke up and was like, "I need china – this table needs to be set all the time!" Focusing on those things is where I’m at right now.'
Rapper Big Sean - real name Sean Anderson - is one lucky guy to have scored such a hot fiancée, though 'go-getter' Naya admits she isn't the shy and retiring type, saying, 'Latin women have a certain charm and finesse that gets us what we want'
