Gabby Windey won the hearts of Americans with her journey on The Bachelorette. ICYMI: Windey took part in the first-ever season of The Bachelorette where there were two leading women—Windey and Rachel Recchia. While the journey was rough for the women, they both ended up leaving the show with a beautiful proposal and a rock.
Windey and Recchia both suffered the common fate of many Bachelor alumni as both couples have since split after the season aired. Although her relationship ended, Windey has been thriving since playing The Bachelorette lead. Gabby showed off her moves on Dancing With The Stars along with her dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy. The couple came in second place at the finale, scoring a perfect score in their redemption dance. Overall, Gabby and Val fell short when the viewer votes were counted in and received second place behind Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas.
And although Gabby may have missed out on the Mirrorball, she might have found something better: love. That’s right, since her appearance on the show, fans have been shipping Gabby with none other than the GTL legend himself, Vinny Guadagnino — her DWTS co-star.
Her Campus reached out to Windey’s and Guadagnino’s teams, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
If Guadagnino rings a bell you probably recognize him from his MTV days on Jersey Shore. Guadagnino appeared in all six seasons and quickly became a fan favorite. Just as he stole the hearts of Americans on DWTS, maybe he’ll sweep in and steal the heart of Windey. Fans are already debating: is it #GINNY or #VIBBY?
Gabby & Vinny have been flirting nonstop.
Fans went crazy when flirtatious comments were shared between Gabby and Vinny on Instagram. Gabby posted a video celebrating making it into the Dancing with the Stars finale where Vinny commented “Good job Baby Mama” and Gabby replied “my main man”.
The Jersey Shore star posted a picture of himself chilling, staring into the NYC skyline with the caption “stop looking for the one…be the one, and let them all come to you,” to which Gabby replied “Omw.”
After Gabby’s chaotic journey through The Bachelor franchise, (Clayton’s season, hello) all I want is for this woman to have some happiness, and fans think *maybe* Vinny could be just that.
Are Gabby & Vinny actually dating?
Gabby addressed the relationship dynamic between her and Vinny on the Chicks in the Office podcast. She claimed that they’re just friends and the relationship rumors flew out of nowhere (as they normally do). “Apparently both of us just like to kind of stir the pot. Which is, like, funny,” Windey tells the podcast.
The tea continues when after the finale of DWTS, Gabby was asked point-blank if she’d date Vinny to which she responded, “Yeah, I would at this point. I could use a pick-me-up.” I’m absolutely here for this.
The banter between Gabby and Vinny is unmatched and while DWTS is over, fans hope the public thirst between the pair is far from it. Honestly, I’m into it. Or am I the only one on Gabby & Vinny shiptok?
