EXCLUSIVE: Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo, 44, reveals how she overcame brutal ... trends now
Kelly Rizzo has revealed that she is open to finding love again and no longer wracked by guilt at the prospect – nearly two years after her late husband Bob Saget died.
The 44-year-old actress was left widowed on January 9, 2022 when the Full House actor died, aged 65, following a freak head injury in his Florida hotel room, hours after coming off stage from a stand-up show.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Kelly revealed that although she was initially unable to 'process' moving on with someone else, she is now in a place where she feels comfortable with the idea of falling in love.
'In the first year, I couldn't even process what that would be like,' she said. 'And you get to a point where you're like, alright, this is something that I could see.

'And what's interesting is, there was a long period of time where I would almost feel guilty for even thinking about it.'
Kelly revealed that she would repeatedly think about how her late husband would react if she were to move on, but she's since managed to overcome what 'earthly' Bob would think.
'You get to a point where you separate what earthly Bob would have been like,' she said. 'And he would have been like, "You can't move on! How dare you! How could you!"
'But when I hear his friends and family say, "No, he would want you to be happy," and when you get to that point, then you feel at peace with that happening.'
Bob's funeral took place in Los Angeles less than a week after his death, and he was buried at Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery near the graves of his parents and sister.
Opening up about her personal journey with grief, Kelly revealed she is doing 'really great'.
'The first year was really, really, really tough,' she said. 'And then after, like, one year passes, after you've had all of those firsts; like the first Christmas, the first, anniversary.
'The second one's still not easy, but you're used to it more. So, you're like, "Oh, alright, I've been here before".
