How Breckin Meyer Helped Bob Saget's Widow Deal With Grief of Losing Him
Kelly Rizzo is opening up about finding love after the loss of her husband Bob Saget, whom she was married to from from 2018 until the Full House comedian's death in January 2022. The 45-year-old has been dating Clueless star Breckin Meyer for about two years now, and she credits him with helping her cope with her grief over Saget.
"He's just been so supportive," Rizzo told E! News in an interview this week. "Since day one, that's just been such a big thing with him. He knew what I went through, and he appreciated it and accepted it—and always likes to talk about Bob."
"It's never like, 'Oh, I don't wanna mention Bob. I don't want Breckin to feel bad about that,'" she continued. "He's just always been so kind about it. It's been really special. It's really nice that I've been able to move forward with him."
Rizzo also shared that her new beau has even won over Saget's three adult daughters, Aubrey, 37, Lara, 35, and Jennifer, 31, from his first marriage to Sherri Kramer. The couple divorced in 1997, and Saget remained single until he wed his second wife.
"It's pretty impossible not to like Breckin," Rizzo explained. "He's met Bob's girls multiple times. We've had dinners together. They adore him. He adores them. It's been really, really nice. They've kind of welcomed him."
But in addition receiving the blessing of her stepdaughters, the Comfort Food podcast host also joked that Meyer would likely have been the only man "Bob would be OK" with her dating. "He's like, ‘Alright, I'm not thrilled about any of this, but it's got to be somebody, let it be Breckin,'" she quipped.
And as far as the couple's future together, Rizzo noted that while she's not in a hurry to get remarried, it's "definitely something [she's] open to." For now, though, she's content living in the moment, because as she points out: "I truly learned you can't plan life. Life has other plans."
Be that as it may, hopefully the happy couple have many years together ahead of them.
