Bachelor Nation Rallies Behind Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman's Romance: Kaitlyn Bristowe's Heartwarming Reaction Shakes the Internet

After Gabby Windey revealed her relationship with a woman, she received a significant amount of support from Bachelor Nation. Taking to social media on Wednesday, August 2, the 32-year-old shared details about her current romance. In an Instagram Story video, she addressed the curiosity surrounding her love life and introduced her partner, writer and comedian Robby Hoffman. Expressing her desire to handle the situation delicately, Windey acknowledged that this conversation is important as she is in a same-sex relationship.

She exclaimed, "I am currently in a relationship that feels unlike any I have experienced before. However, I wanted to share this with all of you because I value living an honest life and having you all be a part of it."

Former celebrities from the popular ABC reality series showed their support for Windey during this personal revelation.

Kaitlyn Bristowe, currently fueling rumors of a split with her fiancé Jason Tartick, expressed her appreciation in the comments section, stating, "This love story was much needed!"

In the meantime, Becca Tilley, who previously identified as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and revealed her relationship with girlfriend Hayley Kiyoko in May 2022, gushed in response, saying, "We absolutely adore a supportive female friend ️."

Rachel Recchia hailed Windey as she expressed her utmost adoration for their collaboration in season 19 of The Bachelorette, stating, "You have captured my heart and soul completely."

Among the comments, Nate Mitchell left a heartfelt message professing his love for the revelation. Ben Higgins, on the other hand, responded with delight, exclaiming, "Wow, this is truly breathtaking."

Charity Lawson, the current Bachelorette, expressed her excitement over Windey's update, exclaiming, "LOVEEE!!! so happy for you, Gabby." Mike Johnson also joined in the joyous celebration, commenting, "Love is truly in the air."

Rachel Kirkconnell, who is presently in a relationship with Matt James, expressed her delight at Windey's news, stating that she is "so happy."

After her stint on The Bachelorette, Windey recorded her quest for love alongside Hoffman. However, things took a different turn once filming ended. In the September 2022 finale, she left the show engaged to Erich Schwer.

Two months later, while competing on Dancing With the Stars, Windey revealed, "The reason behind the end of our relationship was our mismatched common goals and differing approaches to life."

Windey expressed the difficulty of parting ways with Schwer, emphasizing her gratitude for being able to do it on her own terms and when she was ready. She mentioned that the whole experience of going through a public breakup was new to her and now she is focused on moving forward. Additionally, Windey has revealed that Schwer was not aware of the new woman in her life.

"I simply desire to be honest, acknowledging the care people have shown. It is essential for me to live authentically, without compromising my true self," she expressed on an episode of The View aired on Wednesday. "I refuse to withhold the truth from myself, my girlfriend, or those who truly care about me and believe they understand who I am."
