Kelly Rizzo’s relationship with actor Breckin Meyer became public two years after the death of her husband, comedian and Full House star Bob Saget.
Rizzo and Meyer initially kept their romance private, but their relationship entered the public spotlight in February 2024 when they appeared together at a Hollywood charity event.
Since then, the couple have attended public events together, shared moments on social media and continued their relationship despite scrutiny surrounding Rizzo’s decision to date again following Saget’s death.
The Couple Made Their First Public Appearance in 2024
Rizzo and Meyer confirmed their relationship on 4 February 2024 at the Jam for Janie Grammy Awards viewing party.
The pair arrived together and were photographed holding hands as they posed at the event, effectively ending months of speculation about their relationship.
The appearance attracted particular attention because Rizzo had been Saget’s wife until his death in January 2022.
Speaking to reporters at the event, Rizzo acknowledged that returning to the dating world had been an emotional process.
She said she eventually reached a point where she believed Saget would have been happy for her to find love again.
Rizzo Waited 18 Months Before Dating Again
Rizzo later revealed that she waited approximately 18 months after Saget’s death before seriously considering another relationship.
The decision was not without difficulty. She said she experienced feelings of guilt simply from thinking about dating again and faced criticism from people who believed she was moving on too quickly.
Rizzo pushed back against those comments, arguing that grief does not follow a fixed timetable.
Her relationship with Meyer eventually became an important part of a new phase of her life after Saget.
The Romance Became Instagram Official
The couple took another step into the public eye in May 2024.
On 7 May, Rizzo shared a birthday selfie with Meyer to mark his 50th birthday while they were in Miami for the Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Her message described Meyer in affectionate terms, praising his kindness, humour, thoughtfulness, compassion and warmth.
The post provided a more personal glimpse into their relationship after their initial public appearance at the charity event.
Rizzo and Meyer Have Continued Their Relationship
There have been no reports of a breakup between Rizzo and Meyer, and the pair have continued to appear together publicly.
In January 2025, they were photographed enjoying a casual outing at a farmers market in Studio City, California.
The couple were also seen together at public events during 2025 and 2026, including the iHeartRadio Music Awards and the Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine benefit.
Their continued appearances suggest that the relationship has developed well beyond the early stages that initially attracted public attention.
Who Is Breckin Meyer?
Meyer is an American actor, writer and producer best known for roles in films and television shows including Clueless and Road Trip.
He has also become closely associated with the animated comedy series Robot Chicken, for which he has received major industry recognition.
His career has extended beyond acting, with work as a writer and producer adding to his profile in Hollywood.
Before his relationship with Rizzo, Meyer had already experienced marriage and family life.
Meyer Was Previously Married to Deborah Kaplan
Meyer was previously married to screenwriter and director Deborah Kaplan.
The pair reportedly met while working around the teen comedy Can’t Hardly Wait, which Kaplan co-wrote and co-directed.
They married in 2001 and remained together for more than a decade before their relationship ended.
Their divorce was confirmed in 2014, and they share two daughters, Caitlin Willow Meyer and Clover Meyer.
Rizzo’s Marriage to Bob Saget
Before Meyer, Rizzo was married to Bob Saget.
The couple met through mutual friends in 2015 and became engaged in November 2017.
They married on 28 October 2018 at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California.
For Rizzo, the marriage became one of the most significant chapters of her personal life, and Saget’s sudden death in January 2022 dramatically changed her circumstances.
Saget Died Suddenly at the Age of 65
Saget died on 9 January 2022 after he was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Florida following a stand-up performance.
He was 65.
Authorities determined that he had died from head trauma.
His death shocked fans and colleagues across the entertainment industry, while Rizzo was left to deal with the loss of her husband away from the intense public attention surrounding Saget’s career.
Rizzo Faced Criticism Over Moving On
Rizzo’s decision to eventually begin dating again generated criticism online.
In March 2024, she addressed some of those reactions in a TikTok video, explaining that the prospect of dating again had initially brought feelings of guilt.
She also defended the amount of time that had passed since Saget’s death, noting that she had waited about 18 months before deciding she was ready to move forward.
Her comments highlighted the complicated nature of rebuilding a personal life after losing a spouse.
Saget’s Daughters Supported Her New Relationship
Rizzo has also spoken about receiving support from Saget’s three daughters, Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer.
The three women, whom Saget shared with his former wife Sherri Kramer, reportedly gave Rizzo their blessing as she began a new relationship.
For Rizzo, their acceptance appeared to be particularly meaningful because of the close connection they shared with their father.
She has indicated that knowing the people closest to Saget were comfortable with her finding happiness again helped ease some of the guilt she had experienced.
What Happened to Bob Saget’s Brentwood Home?
Saget reportedly left a substantial estate following his death, although the precise distribution of his assets has remained private.
One property known to have gone to Rizzo was the couple’s Brentwood, California, home.
Rizzo later sold the property for approximately $5.4 million.
She explained that remaining in the house had become emotionally difficult after Saget’s death and that she ultimately decided it was too painful to continue living there.
The Full Saget Estate Remains Private
Although Saget’s fortune was widely reported to be worth around $50 million, the exact breakdown of his estate has not been made public.
There have been no widely reported contested probate proceedings or public disputes between Rizzo and Saget’s adult daughters over the estate.
As a result, claims about precisely what Rizzo inherited beyond the Brentwood property remain difficult to verify.
Rizzo Built a Career Away From Her Husband’s Fame
Rizzo is known as a television host, blogger and entrepreneur in her own right.
She created Eat Travel Rock and has worked across lifestyle, food, travel and entertainment media.
Her professional identity developed independently of her marriage to Saget, although their relationship inevitably increased her public profile.
Her relationship with Meyer has now become another prominent part of her public story.
A New Chapter for Kelly Rizzo
Rizzo’s relationship with Meyer represents a significant change from the years she spent with Saget, but she has consistently presented the transition as part of the natural process of rebuilding her life after loss.
The couple have moved from quietly dating to appearing together at major Hollywood events and sharing moments publicly.
As of 2026, there have been no confirmed reports of a split or engagement.
For Rizzo, the relationship with Meyer appears to have marked the beginning of a new chapter — one shaped by love, grief, public scrutiny and the difficult decision to allow herself to move forward.
