Gabby Windey Reveals She & Vinny Guadagnino Have a Real Chance at Dating
Spilling the tea!
Former Bachelorette and “Dancing with the Stars” finalist Gabby Windey joined the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” crew as a guest co-host this week.
During the episode, co-hosts Joe Amabile and Natasha Parker had to ask Gabby about her budding romance with “Jersey Shore” and fellow “DWTS” star Vinny Guadagnino.
Gabby revealed how their rumored fling came to be and started from the beginning.
She said, “We were friends and I was in a relationship. I was in it to win it; he never had a chance. I was tunnel vision on winning the show, so I wasn’t flirting or anything, but I’m always myself. Erich was in and out of the studio, so I didn’t even think about it. Vinny gives me sh*t now saying I only found out who he was two weeks ago.”

Gabby went on, sharing, “Coco his partner is so great and we got along so well, so it was a natural relationship. Val and I would show them our dances and they would show us theirs. It was fun and felt like co-workers. Then I went through the breakup and we were nearing in on the finale and I was so zoned in. I think he got eliminated the week that our breakup was announced.”
Then came their Starbucks run-in, Gabby said, “I saw him at Starbucks one morning and I just had gotten out of bed. I was so tired, I had no makeup on, my hair was a mess, I had no bra on, and my boobs were down to my knees. I was just trying to get a coffee!”
She continued, adding, “He was sitting there having a coffee, so I thought I’d talk to Vinny because he’s nice and we were shooting the sh*t and laughing over the fact my arch nemesis was an 18-year-old with the best dance technique in the world. It was all jokes, but I hadn’t brushed my teeth so I sat at a table diagonally from him because I didn’t want him to smell my breath.”
And Gabby learned her lesson about leaving the house without brushing her teeth.
She said, “I never left the house without brushing my teeth again in case I ran into Vinny! Then he started commenting funny stuff on my Instagram and I just think all men are full of sh*t and it was just fun for me. It was just flirty cute.”

Natasha chimed in saying she ran into Vinny at a party recently, sharing, “He asked me if I’ve met Gabby and said that you are beautiful, great, awesome.”
Gabby noted that Vinny would never say those things to her face and Natasha started laughing.
Natasha said, “Well, he told me, and now I’m telling you because I’m spilling the tea! He said, ‘She’s amazing, but she was engaged and of course I’m a respectful person. We were cool, but once that ended, I was already eliminated. I live in N.Y. and she lives in L.A., but if we lived in the same place maybe it would be different.’ But I said he’s always in L.A., so I just have to say I stan.”
Joe cut right to the chase and asked Gabby if she would go on a date with Vinny if he asked her out.
Gabby said, “Oh, my gosh, of course I’d go on a date with him! I feel like that’s understood. But we do live in different states and my schedule is so crazy, so I don’t know.”
