Bob Saget’s widow Kelly Rizzo says his sudden death changed how she loves new boyfriend
Kelly Rizzo says the sudden death of her husband, comedian Bob Saget, changed how she approaches love and relationships. She says she now tries to appreciate each day, avoid minor arguments and express affection openly, while making room for a new relationship without feeling that it diminishes her love for Saget.
Rizzo, 47, has been with actor Breckin Meyer for more than three years, and says they have never had a fight. She met Saget in 2015 and married him in 2018; he died aged 65 in January 2022 from accidental head trauma. Rizzo says Saget taught her to tell people she loves them, and that love for someone who has died can coexist with love for a new partner.
In short
- Saget’s sudden death changed how Rizzo approaches relationships.
- She says she and Breckin Meyer have never fought in over three years.
- Rizzo says loving a new partner does not lessen love for Saget.
Explained simply
Bob Saget was an American comedian and actor, best known to many viewers for playing Danny Tanner in the television comedy Full House. He married food and travel presenter Kelly Rizzo in 2018, after they met in 2015, and died in January 2022, aged 65, from accidental head trauma.
Rizzo has since begun a relationship with actor Breckin Meyer. Her comments reflect a common question after bereavement: whether loving someone new can coexist with continuing to love a spouse who has died. She says her experience with Saget has made her more open about showing affection and valuing time together.
