Former Bachelorette Gabby Windey has found love... and this time with a woman!
The Dancing with the Stars runner-up publicly came out on The Viewand also shared photos of her new girlfriend, comedian Robby Hoffman, on Instagram.
On Wednesday, Windey led up to the details of her new relationship while chatting with the ladies of The View:
“I always just want to live my truth, and my story."
She then revealed:
“And I have been seeing someone for a couple months, and I’ve been keeping it a little more private because it is a bigger story and a bigger conversation, because I’m dating a girl!”
When asked about "the twist" the hosts didn't see coming, the Season 26 Bachelor contestant elaborated:
“I think it was always a whisper in me that just got louder and louder, and I didn’t really know to pay attention to it."
"I think, you know, when this happens, there’s some shame, obviously, surrounding it.”
Responding to Joy Behar's "So is it girls now?" inquiry, Windey replied:
“I think so."
“I think it’s just like, my girl. She’s the best.”

Windey may have been co-runner up on The Bachelor, but we'd say she definitely came out a winner.
