This is her shot at romance! Bachelorette, Year Nineteen Blake Horstmann and Dean Unglert, both of Bachelor Nation fame, had dated Gabby Windey in the past. Find out more about the new protagonist down below, such as her occupation and educational background.
With Whom Has Gabby Been Romantically Involved?
The 31-year-old used to be in a very committed relationship with Dean, also 31. In his podcast “Help! I Suck at Dating,” the former Bachelor in Paradise contestant referred to her as his “second love of my life.”
Like, she was a major ex. I went to the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and she was my girlfriend back then,” the former Bachelorette contestant revealed.
Even Dean got a call from the show’s producers asking if his ex-girlfriend would be a good addition to the show.
“Producers called me and were like, ‘Hey, we’re thinking of casting this person — what do you think of her? We know that you dated 10 years ago.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, she’s great. If she gets selected for the show, she’ll either win the show or she’ll be the next Bachelorette,’” he noticed. “And I firmly believe that.”
The Colorado native’s three-month fling with Blake, now 33, occurred when she was 23.
“It was a very long time ago, so Gabby could have changed a ton. She could be a different person,”In the December 2021 episode of his podcast “Behind the Rose,” Blake said that he and the woman had met through a mutual acquaintance. “But from what I remember, she was obviously beautiful, and a lot of fun to be around. She’s the life of the party. She’s very outgoing, easy to get along with. I’m excited to watch her. I don’t know if she’ll win, but she doesn’t, I wouldn’t be shocked if she’s Bachelorette.”
Where Did Gabby And Her Bachelor Clayton Go Wrong?
The official ABC bio for Gabby before she came on season 26 read, “Gabby is looking for a man with calm confidence.” She doesn’t have a specific physical appearance she’s looking for, but she will definitely pass on a guy who lacks charisma. Her perfect boyfriend will push her limits, express his emotions, and do his share of the effort in the relationship.
Her goldendoodle, Leonardo, is a “absolute requirement,” therefore anybody she chooses as a partner must “also have room in their lives” for him.
For the entirety of The Bachelor Season 26, Gabby was a frontrunner, but Clayton ended things with her during the season’s two-night finale. When the former football player admitted to sleeping with two of his final three girlfriends and loving them all, she made waves with her response.
“I don’t think he’s being fair right now,” Gabby told viewers during her confessional. “I don’t think you tell multiple women that you love them thinking that there would be no consequences knowing that there are steps along the way that we have to get through. For him to say that ‘the woman I walk out with is the woman I love the most?’ Like, wrong f–king answer.”
The season of the brunette beauty and co-Bachelorette Rachel Recchia will be one for the record books because she is “not in the business of competing with anyone for love.”
