Kelly Rizzo took to Instagram to celebrate her boyfriend Breckin Meyer's birthday by making their relationship official.

In a heartfelt post on Tuesday, May 7, Rizzo, 44, showered Meyer with compliments, calling him kind, sweet, silly, thoughtful, completely hilarious, handsome, understanding, charming, forever curious, compassionate, witty, warm, and wonderful. She expressed her desire for him to be celebrated endlessly on his special day.

The couple celebrated a relationship milestone by posing in the stands at the F1 Miami Grand Prix during their weekend trip with Hard Rock Hotels. Rizzo wore Ray Ban sunglasses and an Amazon tank top with a checkered print, while Meyer, 50, sported a coastal-themed button-down and shades to capture the Miami vibes.

After sharing their first social media snap, the couple received well wishes from friends such as Brian Austin Green, Taylor Lautner, and Amanda Kloots.

Actress Caitlin Crosby exclaimed, "Oh, it's Instagram official!!!" in the comments. Jana Kramer also chimed in, saying, "I love this so much."

Rizzo made her relationship with Meyer public at a 2024 Grammy Awards viewing party in February, marking a new chapter after the passing of her late husband, Bob Saget.

While walking the red carpet with her new boyfriend, the Special Forces alum said it took time to feel comfortable about dating again.

Kelly Rizzo shared on Instagram that it took some time for her to feel confident that Bob Saget would approve of their relationship. She mentioned that Saget's daughters also gave their approval, which meant a lot to her. Rizzo expressed gratitude for their support, calling them angels.

Not everyone has been supportive though. Just a month after making her relationship public, Rizzo felt the need to address critics who thought she moved on too quickly after Saget's passing.

In a video shared on TikTok on March 10, Rizzo responded to the backlash, stating, "I want to make it clear that unless you've experienced being a widow or widower, you really shouldn't be passing judgment on this situation. You just can't comprehend the complex and challenging emotions that arise during this time."

Saget and Rizzo were married for four years before Saget passed away in January 2022 in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida. He was 65 years old. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma to the head by authorities the following month.

In a TikTok video, Rizzo shared, "Bob is always gonna be a part of my life. And I’m very fortunate that I was able to find someone who holds space for that and appreciates it and gets it, and is strong enough and confident enough to know that Bob’s always gonna be a part of my life."
