She added, “Earthly Bob would have been like, ‘How dare you?’ Heavenly Bob wants me to be happy. I feel, like, if he could have picked anyone for me, it would have been Breckin because he really respected Breckin a lot and really liked him a lot and they really liked each other.”

Rizzo married Saget in 2018 after nearly three years together. The Full House alum died in January 2022 at the age of 65 and is survived by Rizzo and his three daughters from a previous relationship.

Rizzo, a lifestyle blogger-turned-reality-personality, also learned more about how precious life is when she competed on season 2 of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
