The 28-year-old actress, who is now dating Matthew Paetz, also posted a touching tribute to Cory on what would have been his 33rd birthday earlier this year.

Cory was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room in 2013. 

She said at the time: “At the start, it’s hard because you’re so physically and mentally shocked and damaged, but after a while you get tired of physically feeling so horrendous, so I started doing yoga, which really helped.

“We were done. We were it. When you’re at that place in your life with someone, you talk about everything. But today I feel like I was given the best part of Cory and I’m thankful for that.”
