How long was Bob Saget married?
Saget and Rizzo tied the knot in October 2018. They were married just over three years at the time of his passing. Saget and Rizzo announced their engagement in November 2017 after dating for two years. Saget previously told PEOPLE that he proposed to Rizzo while they watched Stranger Things. “I got up to go to the restroom, and I opened the safe and I took out a ring that I had been hiding for four days and I got on one knee. And she said ‘What are you doing?!’ She got very emotional, and so did I,” he recalled. “I tried to put it in words that make sense. I adore her. She’s fantastic and I’m a very lucky man.” He detailed the proposal further on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Saget also revealed that he and former Full House co-star John Stamos planned their respective engagements together and that he knew that the ageless hunk would propose to Caitlin McHugh. “John Stamos and I were texting ahead of time. We are incredibly close, and I knew that he was going to [propose]—sorry, Caitlin!—and he knew that I was going to,” he said. “Then it takes time, because you’ve got to get the ring!” She previously gushed of Saget to Us Weekly, “I’ve never met anybody like him. He keeps me on my toes, literally. He’s just a wonderful guy. He’s a comedian, so there’s never a dull moment! And all of his friends are just so fun because they’re just as fun and unique and complex as he is.”
Does Bob Saget have family?
Saget shared three adult daughters with his ex-wife Kramer: Aubrey, Lara Melanie, and Jennifer Belle Saget. He previously told Parade, “The highest thing in my whole life is my daughters. I worship them! If everything in my life is raised to the level of how great they are, then that would be a great thing to have achieved.” Rizzo and Saget didn’t have any kids together, which she says is by mutual choice. She explained to Us Weekly, “He has three girls and I’m super close with them. He’s been there, done that. Not for me. So, just gonna enjoy life and travel around. Maybe one day I’ll talk him into a dog.” He quipped in the same piece, “I’ve been the dad a lot. Maybe I’ll be a grandfather one day. My daughter has a boyfriend. I’m not rushing it.”
