When competing on "Dancing With the Stars," Gabby Windey announced her split from fiancée Erich Schwer, who proposed to her on the “Bachelorette” finale, which aired just a few weeks earlier.
Quickly after the news broke, fans began shipping her to date Vinny Guadagnino from "Jersey Shore,"who also competed on this past season of "Dancing With the Stars."
The two had fun with the dating rumors and even began flirting on social media, throwing the internet into a frenzy.
Would Gabby Be Open To Dating Vinny?
A few days after the first flirtatious exchange occurred on social media, Gabby addressed the topic, admitting at the time the two were just friends and they were “stirring the pot.” A few days after, the “Bachelorette” star then stated she would be open to going on a date with the “Jersey Shore” cast member.
And last night at the People's Choice Awards red carpet, the 31-year-old was asked if dating the "Jersey Shore" star is still on the table. To which Gabby responded, "I think it's a possibility, I don't know we will all have to wait and see."
The "Dancing With the Stars" runner-up continued to joke and said "Gabby, tan, laundry," as a reference to the famous "Gym, tan, laundry," catchphrase from the "Jersey Shore."
Vinny and Gabby Get Flirty
Fans first started noticing Vinny Guadagnino checking Gabby Windey out during “Dancing With the Stars.” But then, fans noticed the two starting to flirt with one another on social media.
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.”
And just last week, Vinny posted a photo on Instagram, writing “If I’m a lot, go find less,” to which Gabby commented, “A lot of you is never enough.”
The “Jersey Shore” star also posted a photo for Thankgiving, writing, “thankful for my haters 🙏🏻,” to which Gabby commented, “Thankful for you ❤️.”
But it did not stop there because Vinny shared an Instagram Reel showing off several black jackets writing, “You know the vibes.” The “Bachelorette” alum commented on this post as well, asking “Where’s my black jacket.” Vinny then replied, “@gabby.windey what’s mine is yours.”
Gabby Windey Addresses Split From Erich Schwer
After fans began to speculate Gabby and Erich had broken up as the "Bachelorette" star was spotted without her engagement ring, the 31-year-old confirmed the split during an 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 Schwer Speaks Out
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.”
