DWTS: Gabby Windey Reveals Whether She & Vinny Guadagnino Are Dating

Dancing With The Stars season 31 contestants The Bachelorette leading lady Gabby Windey and Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino have been flirting on social media for the past few weeks, and now Gabby reveals if they are dating. When Gabby began her DWTS journey with her professional dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy, she was engaged to her Bachelorette final rose recipient Erich Schwer, but they broke up during the competition. Later, Vinny and Gabby began flirting online, and Gabby said that she would be open to going on a date with him. Fans have been speculating about their romance ever since.

On the Click Bait with Bachelor Nation podcast, DWTS season 31 runner-up Gabby set the record straight and revealed that she is not dating Vinny…yet. “People need to be asking him these questions because he’s the one who started all of it,” Gabby commented on the podcast. When asked if she would go on a date with Vinny, Gabby replied, “Oh my God, of course! I feel like that’s understood. But we live in different states. My schedule is so crazy. So I think…I don’t know.” Gabby explained that, in the beginning of DWTS, not only was she in a relationship, but she was completely focused on the competition. “I was in it to win it,” the former Bachelorette said. “He never had a chance. I was like, tunnel vision. I really didn’t flirt or anything. I’m always myself. And Erich was in and out of the studio.” Gabby shared that she got along well with Vinny’s professional dance partner Koko Iwasaki, so the two DWTS pairs would share their dances with each other. Vinny was eliminated from DWTS the week that Gabby announced her breakup with Erich.

Gabby also relayed a story about running into Vinny at Starbucks, saying, “I’d just got out of bed, I was so tired, no makeup, my hair’s a mess, no bra, like my boobs are down to my knees.” The fan-favorite DWTS competitor said that she was so exhausted that she hadn’t even brushed her teeth yet, so she sat a table diagonally across from him. Gabby revealed that they joked and laughed together. After that, Vinny started commenting “funny stuff” on Gabby’s Instagram posts. However, she admitted, “I just think all men are full of s***, so I’m like ‘Oh this is fun for me cause it’s just like flirty cute.'” Host Natasha Parker then told Gabby that Vinny told her at a party that he thinks Gabby is “beautiful,” “great,” and “awesome.” Gabby said that Vinny would never say that to her face. Vinny told Bachelor Nation’s Natasha that he and Gabby do not live in the same place, but maybe things would be different if they lived closer.

Gabby and Vinny have been teasing DWTS fans with their flirty comments for a while now, but they have not yet taken that next step to going on a date. Gabby will be co-hosting the upcoming DWTS Live tour, during which Vinny will make some appearances, so perhaps they will be able to connect with each other on some of those tour stops. Gabby and Vinny already like each other and have built a friendship, so their relationship could work because of this.

Both Gabby and Vinny have had very public dating lives. If they ever do decide to date, they will definitely be pushed into the public eye once again. Hopefully, the pressures of everyone rooting for their relationship will not end up ruining it for them. There is a long history of people meeting and falling in love on Dancing With The Stars, so hopefully Gabby and Vinny will find what they have been searching for with each other.
