AceShowbiz - Kelly Rizzo, the widow of comedian Bob Saget, is not looking to rush into marriage anytime soon. In an interview at the Cool Comedy, Hot Cuisine event for the Scleroderma Research Foundation, Rizzo shared that her boyfriend Breckin Meyer has been her biggest supporter, but she's not ready for a deeper commitment right now.
Despite being "open" to the idea, Rizzo told PEOPLE she's "not in a rush" to marry again. She's content to enjoy life with Meyer in the present and believes that whatever happens in the future will happen.
Rizzo emphasized Meyer's kindness and understanding in supporting her as she remembers Saget's legacy. She noted that Meyer is "very comfortable" talking about Saget and is "just so kind about it."
The similarities between Saget and Meyer extend beyond their humor. Both are devoted fathers, and Rizzo is grateful to have known both men. She believes that Saget would have approved of her relationship with Meyer, who is "like Breckin."
Rizzo has also learned a great deal from her grief journey. She realized that "life is very precious" and that it can be taken away unexpectedly. This has taught her to appreciate her loved ones and express her appreciation often.
While she is moving forward with Meyer, Saget remains an important part of Rizzo's life. She still holds dear the memories of him and his daughters, who have been supportive of her new relationship.
Despite the challenges she has faced, Rizzo remains optimistic. She is open to marriage with Meyer in the future, and she is also passionate about continuing Saget's work with the Scleroderma Research Foundation. Rizzo's Comfort Food podcast and Comfort Club provide a supportive community for those navigating loss and grief, an initiative she launched after receiving an outpouring of support from others who had experienced similar losses.
