It’s never easy to move on from a marriage, especially when your partner has passed away. Kelly Rizzo, the widow of beloved actor Bob Saget, has been very open about her grief since his unexpected death. But now, it seems that she is beginning to find happiness again.
After two years of healing, Kelly Rizzo has started dating. Bob Saget, best known for his role in Full House, tragically died on January 9, 2022, at the age of 65. His cause of death was listed as accidental head trauma, and the news shook his fans and loved ones to the core.
In March of last year, Rizzo shared that she was still not considering dating, even over a year after Bob Saget’s death. In a heartfelt Instagram post, she referred to it as a “14.5 month grief check-in.” One fan asked her if she was ready to date again, and she replied that she was not.
At the time, Rizzo couldn’t even fathom the thought of dating again. She explained, “It was not even in my psyche to even cross that bridge, and the thought of even anything serious anytime soon, I can’t even process.” The emotions attached to her late husband’s passing were too complex and overwhelming.
However, Rizzo did mention that she was open to the idea of letting someone into her life in the future. She expressed a willingness to go for a coffee or a hike with someone, acknowledging that the loneliness can sometimes be difficult to bear.
And now, it seems like that time has finally come. Kelly Rizzo has stepped out with her new love, Breckin Meyer. The couple made their public debut when they attended the Jam for Janie GRAMMY Awards Viewing Party at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. They were seen on the red carpet, arms wrapped around each other, radiating happiness.
If Breckin Meyer looks familiar, it’s because he is! He’s an actor known for his roles in movies like Clueless and the live-action Garfield films. The 44-year-old Rizzo donned a stunning leopard-print dress with high-knee black leather boots, while Meyer opted for a more casual look with gray khakis and a gray denim jacket.
Media outlets have confirmed that Rizzo and Meyer are dating, and we couldn’t be happier for her. We understand that moving on after a loss is never easy, but we hope that Kelly Rizzo finds happiness and fulfillment in whatever she aims to do moving forward.
Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo shared four years of marriage before his untimely death in 2022.
