Bob Saget is being remembered on his 68th heavenly birthday, with his widow, Kelly Rizzo, offering a particularly poignant tribute to his memory. The two have been married since 2018, although the two met in person back in 2015 at one of the comedian's shows. That might have been their first in-person meeting, but the story of their first interaction goes even deeper. "He saw my Instagram, and he's like, 'Oh, it's not all selfies and bikinis. Like, she actually does stuff. She has this food show and travel show. She seems interesting,'" recounted Rizzo, who is a television presenter and the creator of the web series Eat Travel Rock TV.

"Happy Birthday. Forever grateful for these memories, and this last birthday celebration together. Forever happy I got to see a smile on his face and happiness in his eyes. Look at how happy he was." In the captions, Rizzo went on to share a "cute" story from the night that video was taken. A mosquito bite had Saget itching and itching until the bite bled.

On TikTok, Rizzo shared how Saget contacted a friend of his in a similar field as Rizzo and asked if the lady whose Instagram so intrigued him was nice, going so far as to ask, "Is she is b—?" His friend assured him, "No, she's really nice actually. Yeah, I know her."

"But then he sent this. He said, 'Hey, want to come to a show of mine, then go out for some burgers and lobsters?' And I was like, 'OK, we can be friends.' And then I was like, 'Oh no, I kind of like him.' And then we got married." If that isn't true Bob Saget fashion, little else is.
