Gabby Windey Ties the Knot with Robby Hoffman in a Vegas Love Story
In a delightful twist of fate, Gabby Windey, the much-discussed Bachelorette alum and current star of The Traitors, announced her marriage to comedian Robby Hoffman during an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas this past January. The couple, who have been dating for almost two years, revealed their nuptials through a heartfelt Instagram video shared on March 5, where Gabby strutted down the aisle in an elegant lace gown, accompanied by the upbeat sounds of Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!”
In an exclusive chat with Cosmopolitan, Gabby gushed over the experience, likening it to a fairytale wedding complete with roses—though she never envisioned such an affair as a child. “It was so us,” she said, emphasizing the simplicity and authenticity of their celebration, which was attended only by a minister and their photographer. Gabby expressed that the absence of a large crowd alleviated the pressure typically associated with weddings, allowing them to focus solely on one another.
However, the couple’s decision to marry in Las Vegas was not entirely whimsical. It stemmed from a more somber backdrop: they had recently evacuated their home due to devastating wildfires in Southern California. After struggling to find accommodation, they found themselves in a hotel room that felt like a wedding suite, leading to Gabby’s spontaneous proposal. “Should we get married?” she asked Robby, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Gabby’s journey to this point has been a rollercoaster, especially following her heartbreaking split from her Bachelorette pick, Erich Schwer, just two months after their engagement. In August 2023, she reflected on her newfound love with Robby, describing him as someone who makes her feel safe and cherished, embodying the love she had long sought on reality television.
Their love story is a refreshing reminder that amidst the drama of reality TV romances, authentic connections can flourish. Meanwhile, other Bachelor Nation stars are navigating their own love lives—some finding success, like Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, who recently got engaged after meeting on The Golden Bachelorette, while others, like Jenn Tran, faced heartbreak post-finale, highlighting the unpredictable nature of love in the spotlight.
