Kelly Rizzo is clapping back at haters who have questioned her decision to date two years after the sudden death of her husband, Bob Saget. Rizzo took to TikTok to respond to a comment about her moving on after the death of her husband. The comment on the TikTok said, "For those saying she moved ‘too fast’, how long should she wait? It's been two years. He's not coming back. She should be able to have happiness." Rizzo responded with a video saying, This is something I have not addressed publicly, but I feel this needs to be said. I'm going to start by saying, unless you are a widow or widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you do not know what it's like," she said. "You just don't understand the incredibly complex, difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process." She noted that she did feel guilty when she decided to start dating again. "You also feel lonely, and so you want to do it," Kelly said. "Then you have support and love from your spouse's friends and family, and they're telling you it's OK, but yet you still feel really weird about it." She said that she didn't think she'd ever find love again until a year after Saget passed. "For every person, it's different," she pointed out. "There is no one size fits all, but there is absolutely no room for judgment."
Bob Saget suddenly passed away in January 2022 after a fall in a Florida hotel room. Saget and Rizzo had been married for five years before his passing. Rizzo, 44, made her red carpet debut with her boyfriend Brecklin Mayer at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Saget's daughter's were the two that pushed Rizzo to date again. "It’s meant everything," Rizzo told Fox News Digital. "Even though it’s something that you don’t think you need permission for, it meant everything to me to have their blessing and just knowing that they want me to be happy and that they love me." She continued, "I’d love to think that Bob would want me to be happy, too, but to hear it from them is just a totally different level," she added. "And it meant the world just to hear, ‘Hey, we trust you. We love you. We know you’re going to do what’s right, and we want you to be happy.' To continually have their support – I couldn’t ask for a greater gift."
