The world lost a beloved comedian and father figure when Full House star Bob Saget passed away at the age of 65. Closer Weekly confirms this heartbreaking news, leaving behind three cherished daughters and his second wife, Kelly Rizzo. It’s worth remembering how Kelly, a food blogger who captured Saget’s heart in 2015, transformed his perspective on love and marriage after his first marriage ended.
“I didn’t think I’d ever find love again,” Saget candidly admitted to Closer in November 2017. “I was stuck in this mindset of just working hard, keeping people happy, and taking care of my kids until they were grown. But Kelly came into my life, and everything changed.”
A New Chapter with Kelly Rizzo
Bob Saget’s life took a dramatic turn when he met Kelly Rizzo in 2015, years after his divorce from his first wife, Sherri Kramer, in 1997. Kelly, who is 23 years younger than Saget, brought a youthful energy into his life that rekindled his belief in love. She’s not just a food blogger; Kelly’s passion for travel and culinary adventures has taken her around the globe, inspiring her popular blog, Eat Travel Rock. On her website, she describes herself as “the blonde Sicilian with a rocker-chic personality,” which perfectly captures her vibrant spirit.

A Fairytale Wedding
Their love story culminated in a beautiful October 2018 wedding in California, where several of Saget’s Full House costars, including Dave Coulier and Candace Cameron Bure, were in attendance. The proposal itself was unconventional, yet deeply romantic. As Saget recounted to People in 2017, “I got up to go to the restroom, opened the safe, took out the ring I’d been hiding for days, and got down on one knee. She was overwhelmed with emotion, and so was I. I told her how much I adore her, and she said yes. I’m the luckiest man alive.”
Beyond the fairytale proposal and wedding, Kelly quickly became an integral part of Saget’s family. She formed a close bond with John Stamos’ wife, Caitlin McHugh, often referring to them as her “brother and sister-in-law.” Their relationship extended to double dates, proving that love knows no bounds, even in Hollywood circles. Saget’s daughters, Aubrey, Jennifer, and Lara, embraced Kelly with open arms, further enriching the family dynamic.
Life Together: From Holidays to TikTok Adventures
Kelly and Bob shared many memorable moments together, even in their short time as a married couple. In December 2021, they celebrated their first Christmas together in the same city—Chicago—marking a special occasion after three years of marriage. They also delighted their fans with a fun TikTok video on New Year’s Eve, where they dressed up in various costumes. Bob humorously commented on the video, “I was there all year!”
Tragically, just a week later, on January 9, 2022, Bob Saget was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Orlando, Florida. His sudden passing left the world in shock, but his legacy lives on through the hearts of those who loved him. Many of his Full House costars paid tribute to him on social media, celebrating his incredible contributions to comedy and family entertainment.
Kelly continues to honor Bob’s memory through her work and personal life. Her Instagram page remains a testament to their love, documenting her travels and sharing recipes with her dedicated followers. In a world filled with sadness, her positivity and resilience remind us of the joy Bob brought to everyone around him.
“My daughters absolutely adore Kelly,” Saget once said proudly. “She’s not only a remarkable person but also incredibly talented. She’s been a wonderful addition to our family.”
