Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo has confirmed she is dating Clueless star Breckin Meyer — two years after the actor's death.

The 44-year-old Eat Travel Rock blog founder and the 49-year-old actor — who has two daughters with his ex-wife Deborah Kaplan — made their red carpet debut at the Janie's Fund Grammy Awards Viewing Party at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 4).

The legendary Full House star was tragically found dead in his Florida hotel room in January 2022, aged 65, and Kelly admitted it took her a while before she felt comfortable seeing someone else.

She told E! News: "It took a while to get to the point where I'm like, 'OK, I think he'd be happy with it.'"

However, Bob's daughters Aubrey, 36, Lara, 34, and Jennifer Saget, 31, with ex-wife Sherri Kramer, gave her their blessing.

She added: "It's wonderful, it just meant so much to have their blessing. They're just angels. And to have them support is so meaningful."

Kelly — who was married to Bob for four years — recently revealed that his daughters were happy for her to move on.

She told Fox News Digital: "It's meant everything. 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. And the two of them saying that Bob would want me to be happy meant everything because they're his kids. They knew him best."

The Comfort Food podcast host went on to add that she likes to think Bob would also want her to be "happy", but admitted that it just "meant the world" to hear such a sentiment from his daughters.

She said: "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. 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."
