Gabby Windey Spills Tea About Relationship with Girlfriend and Rachel Recchia Shares ‘Paradise’ Tease
Getting candid.
Former Bachelorettes Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia stopped by the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, where they opened up about love and “Paradise.”
Co-hosts Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt asked Gabby about her new relationship with girlfriend Robby Hoffman.
Gabby got candid about her new romance and said, “I’ve never been happier, I feel. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted and just life is easy for once in a relationship. I feel like I’ve never had that before.”
How sweet!
Rachel chimed in and gushed over her BFF’s new relationship too and shared how adorable Gabby and Robby are.
Rachel said, “I’ve seen Gabby in this setting engaged, I’ve seen her in many relationships. But Gabby in the relationship with Robby, I’ve never seen her so happy. It makes me wanna cry, because at the end of the day, I just want to see her with the person she’s supposed to be with.”
Joe and Serena also asked Rachel about her time in “Paradise” and Rachel spilled the tea.
The former Bachelorette said, “I’m in ‘Paradise’ and it’s so funny because it started off as something we would all kind of talk about or joke about. Then, it turned into something very real. I can say my time in ‘Paradise’ was very real.”
Rachel continued on, saying, “I was very much there to find someone, genuinely, so we’ll see if I do. Who knows?! You guys found love in ‘Paradise.’ You two and Becca and Thomas, so going into this, I was like if anything can work, it’s going to be ‘Paradise.’ Let’s try it!”
And while the “Paradise” teaser has Bachelor Nation fans excited for Season 9, Rachel said that’s not even the tip of the iceberg.
She said, “I am so excited for everyone to see it and I think what the trailer showed is just very mild compared to what actually happened. So that’s the tease.”
