We first met Gabby when she competed in Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor in 2022 and she eventually became the Bachelorette alongside Rachel Recchia.

They're an Emmy-winning comedian
Robby is a stand-up comedian who's received honors and awards for her punchlines. In 2020, they were named a "Comic to Watch" at the New York Comedy Festival and recognized as one of Vulture's "Comedians You Should Know." Their first TV writing job was on PBS' Odd Squad—and they snagged a Daytime Emmy for their work on the show. Robby also hosts a podcast with Rachel Kaly called Too Far.
Robby also has an hour-long comedy special called I’m Nervous on Just for Laughs' YouTube channel. Ya know, in case you need a good giggle.

"Life is better when shared, so now I feel like I get to share it with someone that I really care about," the former Bachelorette explained. She added, "We were serious right away. It felt good for both of us. And then I think you just take it day by day and let it unfold." Robby added, "You're either doing that or you're not. So, I think it's pretty serious."
