The Bachelorette season 19’s co-lead Gabby Windey had a great run on the series, but what happened to her after she left Bachelor Nation behind? Gabby, who originally appeared on The Bachelor season 26 with Clayton Echard, captivated audiences with her sweet, charming disposition during her time on the series. Gabby and her eventual co-lead, Rachel Recchia, grew close during their time on The Bachelor. Once they were eliminated from Clayton’s season, Bachelor Nation was interested in watching their next journey. Though The Bachelorette had started with two leads in the past, they were the first pair to ever co-lead.
Throughout their time on The Bachelorette, Gabby and Rachel supported each other in their journeys to find love and wade through the guys who weren’t there for the right reasons. Gabby was open to different men than Rachel, which made it easier for them to be able to navigate tricky situations throughout their season together. While Gabby had shared that she was happy to be the lead, she hadn’t wanted to do so without Rachel by her side. Though both women ended the season happy, things didn’t last in their Bachelorette relationships. What’s Gabby been up to since The Bachelorette?
Gabby Competed On Dancing With The Stars
After her time as The Bachelorette led to an engagement and a huge amount of social media fame, Gabby decided to take on another challenge and compete on Dancing With The Stars. While both Gabby and Rachel were interested in taking on the competition, Gabby was available to dance on DWTS season 31. A former NFL cheerleader for the Denver Broncos, Gabby was paired with Valentin Chmerkovskiy throughout the competition, where she was able to show off her skills as a dancer. Coming in second place, Gabby joined the DWTS tour after her season, traveling with the exciting stage show.
Gabby Got Into A New Relationship After Breaking Up With Eric Schwer
While Gabby got engaged to Eric Schwer in The Bachelorette season 19’s finale, their relationship was short-lived. The pair broke things off after the season had ended, staying together for just two months before splitting during her time on Dancing With The Stars. Though Gabby was sad to have ended her engagement, she was happy to be finding herself and moving forward. In mid-2023, Gabby announced she was in a new relationship, which she’d been dropping hints about for some time. Revealing that she was dating comedian Robby Hoffman, Gabby came out while announcing her new relationship with her girlfriend.
Gabby Started Her Own Podcast, Long Winded
Although she’d stayed out of the spotlight for a while after breaking things off with Eric and finishing Dancing With The Stars, she managed to get herself back into the swing of sharing with her followers after announcing her new relationship. In March of 2024, Gabby launched her own podcast, Long Winded With Gabby Windey. Focusing on discussing current events and pop culture, Gabby does a great job hosting and sharing her life without being overindulgent. Interviewing guests and sharing her stories, Gabby is doing something she loves and sharing it with the world after her time on The Bachelorette.
