Bob Saget’s widow Kelly Rizzo is dating someone two years after comedian’s death – and you might recognize him

Moving on from a marriage, especially after the loss of a partner, is never easy. Bob Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, has been open about her grief from the beginning.

Now, it appears she is starting to move forward. Read on to find out more.

Kelly Rizzo has begun dating two years after Bob Saget’s unexpected death. The Full House star tragically passed away on January 9, 2022, in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. He was 65 years old. His cause of death was later determined to be accidental head trauma.

In March of last year, Rizzo mentioned that she was not considering dating even over a year after Saget’s death. She took to Instagram for a “14.5 month grief check-in,” as she called it.

When a fan asked if she was dating again after her husband’s sudden passing, she replied, “OK, here we go. I have gotten this question hundreds, hundreds of times since the beginning.” She noted that she had not started dating again. “No, I have not. I have not. I have not,” she said at the time. “I couldn’t even think about that. It was not even in my psyche to even cross that bridge and the thought of anything serious anytime soon, I can’t even process. It’s just so complicated, so many emotions attached to that.”

While she wasn’t ready to date at the time, she did express openness to the idea of letting someone in at some point. “I will say, it does get a little bit lonely, so the thought of a coffee or a hike or something like that, I’d be open to,” she shared. “But yeah, there’s a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,” she said.

Now, it seems that time has arrived as Kelly Rizzo has stepped out with her new love, Breckin Meyer. She posed with her new boyfriend on Sunday at the Jam for Janie GRAMMY Awards Viewing Party at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. The couple walked the red carpet with their arms around each other.

If Breckin Meyer looks familiar, it’s because he is! The actor has appeared in numerous big projects, including Clueless and the live-action Garfield movies.

Rizzo, 44, wore a body-hugging leopard-print dress paired with black leather knee-high boots, while Meyer opted for a more casual look with gray khakis and a gray denim jacket over a gray t-shirt. Media outlets have confirmed that the two are dating.

One fan had previously asked if she was dating again after her husband’s sudden demise, and she replied, “OK, here we go. I have gotten this question hundreds, hundreds of times since the beginning.” She reiterated that she had not started dating again. “No, I have not. I have not. I have not,” she said at the time. “I couldn’t even think about that. It was not even in my psyche to even cross that bridge and the thought of anything serious anytime soon, I can’t even process. It’s just so complicated, so many emotions attached to that.”

While she wasn’t ready to date then, she did say she was open to the idea of letting someone in at some point in the future. “I will say, it does get a little bit lonely, so the thought of a coffee or a hike or something like that, I’d be open to,” she shared. “But yeah, there’s a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what have you,” she said.

Bob Saget and Kelly Rizzo were married for four years before his death in 2022.
