Sat Mar 08 00:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Former Bachelorette Gabby Windey Elopes with Comedian Robby Hoffman in Surprise Vegas Wedding
**Las Vegas, NV** – In a surprise announcement, former *Bachelorette* star Gabby Windey revealed she secretly married comedian Robby Hoffman in a whirlwind Las Vegas ceremony earlier this year. The couple, who began dating in 2023, tied the knot on January 11th amidst the chaos of evacuating their Los Angeles home due to wildfires.
Windey, 34, shared the news on Instagram, posting a picture of herself and Hoffman, 35, kissing in front of a rose-adorned altar. The wedding, described as intimate and spontaneous, followed a brief engagement that began after the couple sought refuge in Vegas. Windey revealed to *Cosmopolitan* that she proposed to Hoffman, who had been ready to propose weeks earlier.
The unexpected nuptials, which included a dress purchased the same day and a ceremony set to Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go,” contrasted sharply with Windey’s previous engagement on *The Bachelorette*. Her relationship with Season 19 co-star Erich Schwer ended in December 2022, just two months after the show’s finale.
Windey’s fellow *Bachelorette* Season 19 lead, Rachel Recchia, expressed her joy, commenting on the Instagram post with heartfelt congratulations. The couple’s unconventional wedding, described by Windey as “giving ‘Bachelor’ because there were roses everywhere,” has captivated fans and highlighted the couple’s unique and spontaneous love story. The pair joked that the urgency of the situation mirrored the spontaneous energy of reality television.
