AceShowbiz - Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo has embarked on a new chapter in her life, finding solace and love with actor Breckin Meyer. Spotted sharing a sweet kiss during an L.A. outing, the couple exuded happiness as they enjoyed each other's company.
Rizzo's relationship with Meyer began earlier this year, following the tragic passing of her husband in January 2022. Rizzo, 45, revealed to E! News the profound support Meyer has provided throughout her grieving process. "He's just been so supportive," she shared. "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." This openness and understanding have been vital in Rizzo's journey towards healing.
The travel host expressed her appreciation for Meyer's sensitivity towards her past. "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."
Loved ones and Bob Saget's daughters have also played a significant role in supporting Rizzo's transition. Meyer has met Saget's daughters, Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer, on several occasions, and Rizzo describes their bond as positive and welcoming. "They adore him. He adores them. It's been really, really nice. They've kind of welcomed him," she said.
The couple's public debut at a Grammys party earlier this year marked a significant milestone in Rizzo's journey back to dating. Responding to critics who felt she moved on too soon, Rizzo emphasized that nobody can truly understand the complexities of her situation unless they have experienced a similar loss. She stated, "The vast, vast, vast majority of all of the comments and feedback and support and everything I've gotten since Bob passed, 99 percent has been positive and lovely and wonderful."
Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65 in January 2022 due to blunt head trauma, a shocking event that deeply affected those who knew and loved him. His family shared, "They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep." This tragic accident underscores the importance of seeking support and comfort in times of grief.
As Kelly Rizzo and Breckin Meyer continue to build their relationship, their story is a poignant reminder of the resilience of human connections and the capacity to find love again after loss. Rizzo's courage to embrace a new path while honoring her past exemplifies the strength and hope many aspire to during challenging times.
