Kelly Rizzo surprised fans when she revealed that she was no longer opposed to the idea of joining the dating pool sometime in the future. Speaking with Extra, Rizzo said that, while she still carries survivor’s guilt, she’s considering the prospect of re-entering the dating scene. “I’m open to it, yes,” she said. “You feel guilty if you have happy moments or if you’re not feeling sad all the time … but then I learned that’s very normal.”
The reason why she changed her mind? Bob Saget’s daughters, Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer Saget, have cheered her on. “Now that enough time has passed, even his girls are always like … ‘That’s silly. Heavenly Bob wants you to be happy,'” Rizzo shared. “Earthly Bob would’ve been like, ‘Not too happy,'” she quipped.
It took Rizzo a long time to get to this place, of course. “In the first year, I couldn’t even process what that would be like,” she told the Daily Mail. It also helped that Saget’s loved ones offered her words of support. “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,'” she added, noting that she has remained close to her stepdaughters and even Saget’s ex-wife, Sherri Kramer. “[Kramer and I] talk all the time, and she’s just so wonderful and has been such a rock throughout everything,” Rizzo said.
