Kelly Rizzo and Breckin Meyer confirmed their relationship publicly on 4 February 2024, at a Grammy Awards viewing party in Los Angeles, marking Rizzo's first high-profile romance since the death of her husband, Bob Saget, in January 2022. The couple, who had kept their romance private until that evening, have since appeared at multiple red carpet events, shared personal moments on Instagram, and faced public scrutiny over the timing of their relationship. As of 2026, they remain together, with Rizzo having celebrated Meyer's 51st birthday in May 2025.
How the Couple Met and Their Red Carpet Debut
The exact circumstances of how Kelly Rizzo and Breckin Meyer first met have not been publicly confirmed. Rizzo has stated that she did not begin dating until about 18 months after Saget's death. The couple's first public appearance together took place at the Jam for Janie Grammy Awards viewing party, a charity event held on Sunday, 4 February 2024, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. They held hands as they posed for photographs, making headlines given Rizzo's status as Saget's widow.
Rizzo was candid with reporters that night about her journey back to love. "It took a while to get to the point where I'm like, 'OK, I think he'd be happy with it,'" she said. She also revealed that she had the blessing of Saget's three daughters—Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer—whom he shared with ex-wife Sherri Kramer. Their approval was significant to Rizzo, who described their support as "wonderful."
Going Instagram Official and Public Appearances
Rizzo made their relationship Instagram official on 7 May 2024, which was Meyer's 50th birthday. She posted a selfie of the couple at the Miami Grand Prix, captioning it: "To the man who is kind, sweet, silly, thoughtful, completely hilarious, handsome, understanding, charming, forever curious, compassionate, witty, warm & wonderful."
The couple have continued to make public appearances together. In November 2025, they attended the Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine benefit at the Edison Ballroom in New York City. In January 2025, they were photographed sharing laughs and kisses at a farmers market in Studio City, California. Rizzo, then 45, wore black sweats and a baseball hat, while Meyer, then 50, dressed in grey athleisure.
Breckin Meyer's Background and Previous Marriage
Meyer, born on 7 May 1974 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is an actor, writer, and producer best known for his roles in Clueless, Road Trip, and the Adult Swim animated series Robot Chicken, which earned him two Annie Awards and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations. He was previously married to screenwriter and director Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2014. The pair met on the set of the teen comedy Can't Hardly Wait, which Kaplan co-wrote and co-directed. They lived together for 11 years before filing for divorce in 2012, which was finalized in 2014. They share two daughters: Caitlin Willow Meyer and Clover Meyer.
Kelly Rizzo's Life Before Meyer and Dealing with Grief
Before her relationship with Meyer, Rizzo was best known for her marriage 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. Saget, star of Full House, died on 9 January 2022 at age 65 after being found in a hotel room in Florida, where he had been performing stand-up. The cause of death was determined to be head trauma.
Rizzo faced public backlash for moving on, with some commenters saying she was moving "too fast." In a TikTok posted on 10 March 2024, she pushed back, saying, "At some point, when it crosses your mind to even think about starting to date again, just having those thoughts, you feel guilty." She defended her relationship with Meyer, reiterating that she waited 18 months after Saget's death before deciding to date again.
Financial Matters and Current Status
Bob Saget reportedly left behind a fortune of around $50 million, placed in a trust that disbursed his estate among various recipients. At minimum, his Brentwood home went to Rizzo. She sold the Brentwood, California, property for $5.4 million about a year after his death. As she said on the Tamron Hall Show, she sold it because it was simply too hard to live there after he died. The precise breakdown of Saget's estate remains private, with no contested probate filings, no public estate litigation between his widow and his three adult daughters, and no leaked accountings.
As of the most recent public posts, the couple remain together. Rizzo celebrated Meyer's 51st birthday on Instagram in May 2025. No reports of a split or engagement have emerged as of the time of writing, and the pair appear relaxed and settled into their relationship more than a year after going public.
