Kelly RIzzo recently stepped out with her new beau, Breckin Meyer, two years after her husband, Bob Saget, tragically passed away. Although it was challenging for her to be comfortable dating again, her stepchildren brought her peace.
In 2022, Kelly Rizzo unexpectedly became a widow with the passing of her husband, Bob Saget. Two years later, she found love again and confirmed her relationship with actor Breckin Meyer.
The new couple debuted their romance at Janie's Fund Charity event and attended the Grammys viewing party together on February 4. Meyer, a celebrated actor, is most known for his role in the '90s film "Clueless."

His acting credits also include "American Dad!" "Robot Chicken," "Crossing Swords," "Happily," "Unpregnant," "The Fix," "Designated Survivor," and more. Besides his career, he is now also focusing on nourishing his relationship.
Rizzo admitted that it wasn't easy to take her relationship public at first, especially after experiencing pain with the tragic loss of her husband. Fortunately, Saget's daughters, Jennifer, Lara, and Aubrey, were very kind about her finding love again. They even gave their blessings for her to date again.
"It took a while to get to the point where I'm like, 'OK, I think he'd be happy with it,'" she said. "It's wonderful; it just meant so much to have their blessing. They're just angels, and to have them support [me] is so meaningful."
Despite her husband's demise, Rizzo is still connected to her stepdaughters and finds joy in them wanting her to be happy again. As she shared, two of them even revealed that Saget would like her to be happy as well.
"I'd love to think that Bob would want me to be happy too, but to hear it from them is just a totally different level," she revealed.
Saget and Rizzo tied the knot in 2018, over two decades after he divorced his first wife, Sherri Kramer. Four years later, in 2022, she became a widow when the "Full House" star passed away in a Florida hotel room.
Bob Saget died on January 9, 2022, at the Ritz Carlon Hotel due to an accidental injury that resulted in head trauma. He is survived by his wife and three kids.
In January 2024, Rizzo paid tribute to her late husband with an Instagram post, where she shared how grateful she was to have had time with Saget. "It is such a gift I was able to know his complete and all-encompassing love and heart," she said.
