Vinny shared a photo of himself looking out of a window, with the caption, “stop looking for the one…be the one, and let them all come to you.”
Gabby, herself, then commented, “Onw,” which stands for on my way.
Vinny then replied back to Gabby’s comment, “patiently waiting while you kill the finale.”
Now, Gabby is addressing the flirtatious exchange.

After the internet went into a frenzy, Gabby Windey decided to address the flirting and clear the air a bit.
“I mean, we’re friends. We were on [Dancing With the Stars] together,” the former "Bachelorette" lead said on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast. “Apparently both of us just like to kind of stir the pot. Which is, like, funny. But [the rumors] did happen out of nowhere.”

Gabby went on to say the internet frenzy was “hilarious to watch.” "Gym, tan, laundry baby," Gabby added laughing. "I'm a like guido in training after this."
Val Chmerkovskiy, Gabby's dance partner on "Dancing With the Stars" added, "it was an inside joke that got away."
So, there we go. It seems like Gabby and Vinny are not dating and they were purposely flirting to stir the pot!

Just a few weeks after the “Bachelorette” finale aired, Windey was spotted without her engagement ring on her finger during “Dancing With the Stars,” and fans began to speculate the two parted ways. That news was, in fact, confirmed by fellow co-lead Rachel Recchia.
Gabby Windey recently addressed her breakup from fiancée Erich Schwer during Monday’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” after her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, revealed they would be dancing a waltz routine to Des’ree’s “I Am Kissing You.”
“For me, it holds a special place because I did just go through a breakup,” Gabby told Val. “The end of our relationship happened because we weren’t completely in step and in sync with each other on our common goals or just the way we approach life. We weren’t each other’s best match.”
Erich also spoke out on the breakup, taking to his Instagram Story, “A lot of you are reaching out with questions about me and Gabby. The reality i that we ultimately were not each others people – it’s hard when there isn’t one thing to put your finger on.”
“We met in a very unique situation and in a very unique way and I’m grateful we did. I would never take it back,” Erich continued. “Gabby is an amazing person and she is doing amazing things. I will always root for her and I hope she gives them hell in the DWTS finale.”

Gabby Windey and dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy will compete against TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and dance partner Mark Ballas, “Let’s Make a Deal” host Wayne Brady and dance partner Witney Carson, and Drag Queen Shangela and dance partner Gleb Savchenko for the Mirror Ball Trophy. “Dancing With the Stars” finale airs on Disney+ on Monday at 8 PM ET.
