After his January 8th show in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Saget took to social media for what would become the last post he ever wrote.
He included a selfie from that night and wrote, “Loved tonight’s show @PV_ConcertHall in Jacksonville. Appreciative audience. Thanks again to @RealTimWilkins for opening. I had no idea I did a 2 hr set tonight. I’m happily addicted again to this shit. Check BobSaget.com for my dates in 2022.”
He tweeted this at 12:42AM on January 9, just 15 hours before first responders were called to his hotel room.

The last post Rizzo shared of her and her husband was on December 29, 2021. The Instagram Reel was set to the tune of “The Months of the Year” by The Kiboomers. Many people have been highlighting their year with a short clip of each month of the year, and Rizzo joined the trend with videos and photos of her and Saget from each month of the year. The Reel really showed how happy they were together, making his unexpected passing so much sadder.
The last photo she used, which was for December 2021, was a photo of them from the very first time they spent Christmas together, despite being married for over three years.

Saget and Rizzo were married in October 2018 after meeting when Saget messaged her on Instagram out of the blue. She revealed this information on Instagram in February 2021.
