Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman’s romance is forever!
The Traitors star, 34, revealed on Instagram on Wednesday, March 5 that she is now a married woman after wedding her writer and comedian girlfriend, 35, in a secret ceremony held on Jan. 11, 2025.
Windey shared a carousel of photos and videos showing behind the scenes footage of the event held in a Las Vegas chapel — which she told Cosmopolitan totaled a just $799 with a limousine and minister. She showed several scenes from the big event including her wedding kiss with Hoffman in front of a white flower arch and the pair cuddling up together both during and after the ceremony.
She also shared the special moment when she walked down the aisle in a lacy white long-sleeved dress with a bouquet of red roses to Chappell Roan’s hit song “Hot to Go,” as Hoffman waited for her at the altar in a blue button down shirt and slacks. When Windey finally got to the altar, she and Hoffman took each other’s hands and began dancing together.

The newlyweds also took part in a special tradition as Hoffman broke a vase to “symbolize the fragility of marriage” before breaking out into song and clapping her hands. Windey clapped along as a friend scattered flower petals around them.
The Bachelorette alum captioned her wedding photos, “Husband and wife!!,” and revealed why she and Hoffman — who began dating in August 2023 — chose to tie the knot at the start of the year after fleeing to Las Vegas following the Los Angeles fires.
“We had just evacuated from the fires. Literally cue Rihanna, ‘We found love in a hopeless place,’ ” Windey told Cosmopolitan. “What better time to get married than right now? Because if the world is ending, we want to be with each other.”

She also shared on Instagram how Hoffman popped the question by showing a photo of a completed crossword puzzle on her phone that spelled out the words, “Will you marry me, Gabby” — something she noted was a tradition for the couple. However, she noted to Cosmopolitan that her girlfriend has a special twist in mind.
“So I was doing this off-brand crossword [Hoffman gave me] thinking, ‘whatever, fine, she’s got a streak.’ We started and the first clue was ‘a document signed when someone dies.’ I was like, ‘Maybe a deed.’ And she said, ‘How about a will?’ So the crossword went on, but the downs didn’t make sense…”

“We literally got to the final one… and the rest of it—WILL YOU MARRY ME—existed. And she was like, ‘LYREB?’ I finally had to just say it. When you plan, God laughs. And she went, ‘Baby??’ and I had the ring,” Hoffman recalled, adding that the couple were “engaged for a day” before they tied the knot.
The couple noted that they had gone out to find the items needed for the wedding and “everything just fell into place so naturally.” They then reminisced about how “perfect” the ceremony was when it finally came together. Hoffman shared, “It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to.”
The Dancing with the Stars alum echoed her sentiments saying, “It was literally the best night of my life. We were dancing, taking pictures… It was the best. In a weird way, it was giving Bachelor because there were roses everywhere.”
“I never envisioned my wedding as a kid or anything, but that’s part of what made this feel so right. Actually being there and feeling it, it was so us,” she added.
