Former ‘Bachelorette’ Gabby Windey has recently revealed her newfound relationship with writer and comedian Robby Hoffman. The reality show alum, who co-starred in season 19 alongside Rachel Recchia, took to Instagram on August 2 to share the heartwarming news. In a carousel of affectionate photos capturing moments of kissing and embracing, the Colorado-based ICU nurse proudly displayed her love for Hoffman.
The Instagram post was captioned with a playful remark, “Told you I’m a girls girl!!” The news garnered congratulatory messages from fellow Bachelor Nation stars, including Windey’s former co-star Rachel Recchia, who expressed her love and support.
Gabby’s coming-out post followed shortly after she disclosed on “The View” that she is now “dating a girl.” The former Denver Broncos cheerleader couldn’t contain her excitement as she posted a selfie video on her Instagram story, divulging more details about her blossoming romance with Hoffman. “It’s been honestly, truly, really the best experience over these last three months,” she joyfully shared.
For Hoffman, who had already publicly identified as queer, the Instagram announcement prompted a playful response on her own story, where she humorously wrote, “Guys some news … I am gay.” Hoffman, who was raised in a strict Hasidic Jewish home, had previously opened up about feeling alienated in her Jewish school due to her sexuality. Nevertheless, she embraced her identity as “very Jewish and very gay” and now incorporates her experiences into her standup routines.
As a writer and comedian, Hoffman is currently developing a comedy called “Rivkah” for Showtime, which is inspired by her own life. Her talent has earned her recognition, including a Daytime Emmy Award in 2019 for her work on the PBS children’s show “Odd Squad.”
Gabby Windey’s revelation and her journey into this loving relationship with Robby Hoffman stand as a testament to embracing one’s true self and finding happiness in authenticity.
