Gabby Windey On Vinny Guadagnino: 'He's So Dead To Me'

Gabby Windey announced her split from fiancée Erich Schwer, who proposed to her on the “Bachelorette”finale, when she was competing on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Quickly after the news broke that the two had split, fans began shipping her to date Vinny Guadagnino from “Jersey Shore,” who also competed in this past season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

The two have been having fun with the dating rumors and even began flirting on social media, throwing the internet into a frenzy. The "Bachelorette" admitted she would be open to dating the "Jersey Shore" star, however, now she is saying he is "dead" to her.

Gabby Windey recently did some press for the upcoming Dancing With the Stars Live 2023 Tour, where she, once again, was asked about Vinny Guadagnino.

“Who’s Vinny?” she jokingly said to Us Weekly before going on to say she really doesn't know what is going on between her and the "Jersey Shore" alum.

“You guys need to ask him. He’s so dead to me because he hasn’t been doing any press and I have,” she continued. “I’m, like, dealing with all these questions. But he’s the one who started it.”

The "Bachelorette" went on to say the two have a great friendship, which started on "Dancing With the Stars," and they just "naturally kind of clicked."

“I think both of our senses of humor are similar, so [we are] just, like, flirting in the comments [and] seeing where things go," she continued.

Despite fans knowing that right now, the two are just having fun with the rumors, they continue to ship the two reality television stars.

“That’s kinda been the craziest part about it is, like, how much other people love it. And they know we’re just messing around and they don’t even care,” Windey told Us Weekly. “So it’s just fun to watch. It just feels good that people do root for you and, like, want you to be happy.”

However, the "Bachelorette" star did admit she doesn't know much about Vinny.

“I truly don’t know that much about him,” she said. “I was, like, so tunnel vision during the competition. You don’t really spend that much time with the other celebrities. But, you know, there’s only one way to find out!”

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 more recently when 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.”
