It’s been nearly three years since Bob Saget unexpectedly died in his hotel room on January 9, 2022. Bob left behind not only a legacy in the entertainment industry but also a family who loved him dearly. His three daughters, Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer, and his wife, Kelly Rizzo, miss him terribly. Kelly Rizzo told E! News that grieving Bob’s death wasn’t easy, but her boyfriend, Breckin Meyer, has been with her every step of the way.

Kelly Rizzo Knows How Lucky She Is To Have Such A Supportive Boyfriend
She told E! News’ Francesa Amiker, “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.”
She added the pair spoke openly about Bob and what he meant to her. “It’s never like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna mention Bob. I don’t want Breckin to feel bad about that,'” Kelly said. “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.”
Kelly Rizzo introduced her boyfriend to Bob’s daughters and said they love him. “It’s pretty impossible not to like Breckin,” she explained. “He’s met Bob’s girls multiple times. We’ve had dinners together. They adore him. He adores them. It’s been really, really nice. They’ve kind of welcomed him.”
Kelly joked that Bob wouldn’t love her having a boyfriend, but he’d like Breckin. He’d likely say, “Alright, I’m not thrilled about any of this, but it’s got to be somebody, let it be Breckin.”
Will Kelly Rizzo marry her boyfriend? That remains to be seen. She said she’s open to anything, but after Bob’s parsing, she realized, “I truly learned you can’t plan life. Life has other plans.”
