In an interview with E!, Rizzo opened up about her new relationship, explaining that it took time for her to feel comfortable dating again.

Addressing critics who claimed she moved on too quickly after Bob Saget‘s sudden passing, Rizzo said, “Unless you are a widow or a widower, you truly have absolutely no place and no right to comment on this because you do not know what it’s like.” She added: “You just don’t understand the incredibly complex and difficult and dynamic thoughts and feelings that come up during this entire process.”

Rizzo began dating 18 months after her husband’s death and expressed gratitude for finding a partner who understands that Saget will always be a part of her life.

“He always asks questions about him and keeps him a part of the conversation, and that means so much to me,” she said.

While Rizzo didn’t need the blessing of Bob’s daughters, it was significant for her to receive their approval, aligning with her sense of what felt appropriate.

“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,” the journalist said. “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.’”

Rizzo and Saget were married for four years until his passing in 2022.

As for Rizzo’s new love, Breckin Meyer, he is best known for his role in the 1990s cult classic Clueless. Meyer is also a writer and producer, having created the TV show Men At Work.

Meyer was previously married to filmmaker Deborah Kaplan from 2001 to 2014, and they share two daughters.
