Gabby Windey Thanks Fans for Support on ‘DWTS’ and Shares Which Co-Star She’d Go Out With
So proud!
Former Bachelorette Gabby Windey absolutely killed it week after week on the “Dancing with the Stars” ballroom floor this season.
Gabby and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy performed so well that they made it to the finale and were runners-up for the Mirrorball Trophy.
Now, Gabby is getting ready to head out as co-host of the “DWTS” tour and thanked fans for their ongoing support.
She took to Instagram to share an emotional post alongside photos from the season.
Gabby wrote, “In between tears trying to sum up the last few months. It’s been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine it with anyone else other than Val.”

She went on, saying, “You were quick to offer your friendship and even quicker to believe in me as evidence by, incessant (but loving) criticism that pushed me beyond what I ever thought I was able to accomplish. These tears are filled with so much gratitude and also sorrow that one of my favorite times in my life is now in the past.”
We’re not crying, you’re crying!
Gabby concluded her post, writing, “I was honored to share that stage last night with three other incredible performers and have learned from each of them along the way. Thank you to everyone who makes this show possible!! And thank you to all who voted for us and who continued to show us your undying love and support. It means the entire world!!!”
We couldn’t be more proud of Gabby on her extremely impressive “DWTS” journey. You made Bachelor Nation so proud!
And while Gabby revealed on “DWTS” that she is no longer with her ex-fiancé Erich Schwer from “The Bachelorette,” she would be open to dating one of her fellow “DWTS” contestants.

“Jersey Shore’s” Vinny Guadagnino and Gabby have had some flirtatious exchanges on social media after their time competing together in the ballroom.
Then on this week’s episode, reporters asked Gabby how she would respond if Vinny wanted to take her out to dinner.
“Oh my gosh. Oh wow. You guys get right to business,” Gabby responded.
And her partner Val seemed to support the possible “DWTS” match, chiming in and saying, “She likes food!”
Gabby eventually revealed that she'd be open to the idea of a date with Vinny, saying, “Yeah, I would at this point. I could use a pick-me-up.”
We’ll keep you posted if we hear anything else about this potential date night. For now, we’re wishing Gabby our biggest congrats and sending her all our love!
