The Shocking Aftermath of Gabby Windey's DWTS Flirting: Vinny Guadagnino's Jaw-Dropping Reaction to Her New Romance with Robby Hoffman

Vinny Guadagnino has learned about Gabby Windey's new relationship with Robby Hoffman.

"I toured with Gabby a few months ago for Dancing With the Stars. It was interesting to see her stressed out during the tour because she performed on every single date," the 35-year-old shared exclusively at the premiere party of Jersey Shore Family Vacation at Hard Rock Hotel on Wednesday, August 2. "However, seeing her happy and living her truth today makes me really glad. It's great to see her face again."

Guadagnino promptly responded without hesitation when asked if he would be open to going on a date with Gabby and her new girlfriend. "Absolutely, Gabby is a close friend of mine," he affirmed.

Windy made an announcement on Wednesday, disclosing that she is currently in a relationship with another woman. Later, through a collection of affectionate pictures, she revealed the identity of her partner as Hoffman.

"I'm currently in a relationship that feels completely different from any I've had before," Windey shared with her followers. "I wanted to inform all of you because I believe in living my life with honesty and having you by my side."

Following this, the former Bachelorette made an appearance on The View, where she discussed the decision to publicly acknowledge her new love. "Recognizing the genuine concern of others, I felt compelled to be truthful. It's important for me to live authentically without hiding anything from myself, my girlfriend, or the individuals who truly care about me and believe they know me."

Windey had previously been engaged to Erich Schwer, the winner of season 19 of The Bachelorette. However, their engagement came to an end in November 2022, while Windey was participating in Dancing With the Stars alongside Guadagnino. Fans of the show started hoping for a real-life romance between the two reality stars after witnessing their playful interactions on the series and their flirty comments on social media.

"He's a lot of fun. We developed a strong friendship during the show and we just naturally clicked," Windey shared with Us magazine in December 2022. "Our senses of humor are similar, so we enjoy flirting in the comments and seeing where things lead."

One month later, the pair were once again brought together on the DWTS tour.

"We share an incredible chemistry," Guadagnino shared with Us in the same month. "We both have a comedic side, which is why we connect so well and engage in playful flirting on Instagram. Our banter is just natural between us."
