The Bachelorette 2022: Who is Gabby Windey? | The Sun

FORMER Denver Broncos cheerleader Gabriela Windey, known as Gabby, was last seen by Bachelor nation as a contestant on season 26 of The Bachelor.

Gabby will be in The Bachelorette 2022 which premieres Monday, July 11 at 8 pm ET on ABC.

Who is Gabby Windey?

Windey, 31, is a cheerleader for NFL's Denver Broncos, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, she showed her passion extends beyond the field.

When the Covid-19 pandemic closed stadiums and hospitals were in dire need of staff, Windey, who had been dancing since the age of 12, focused her energy on saving lives.

She had been a nurse for three years when she was hired to be a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos in 2016.

Why did Susie leave The Bachelor?

During the pandemic, Windey put the majority of her focus into her nursing job and worked 12 hours or more.

The result of her efforts was winning the Pop Warner Humanitarian Award in 2020– alongside the Cleveland Chiefs lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif – making her the first woman to receive the award.

Typically, only NFL players receive the award.

In the press statement put out by Pop Warner Little Scholars, it said, “Windey and Duvarney-Tardif's selflessness and commitment to helping others are an embodiment of sacrifice and teamwork, making them model representatives for young student-athletes across the nation.”

Did Gabby Windey make it to the finale of The Bachelor?

Part two of the finale of The Bachelor aired on March 15, 2022, at 8pm ET, and unsurprising to fans, Windey made it to the final night.

Gabby made it to Bachelor Clayton Echard's final two picks along with contestant Rachel Recchia.

During the March 15 finale, Clayton sat both Gabby and Rachel down to break up with them.

"It's not feasibly possible for me to be in love with three women like I said I was," Clayton said.

Gabby did not hold back on confronting Clayton when he broke up with her.

"When you say you love someone, you're assuming responsibility to protect someone's feelings and you didn't do that."

Gabby also expressed that Clayton might have had ulterior motives all along.

"I truly felt that we were on our own journey," Gabby said.

"But watching it back, you were clearly pinning us against each other."

When Clayton asked Gabby if he could walk her out, she responded and quickly said "no."

Who has Gabby Windey dated?

Windey has dated previous Bachelor contestant Dean Unglert, 30, who appeared in season 13 of The Bachelorette.

He was eliminated in week eight but later returned to Bachelor in Paradise for the fourth and sixth seasons.

Unglert had only kind things to say when the producers of The Bachelor asked about his ex-girlfriend.

Windey and Unglert dated when they were 19 years old and Unglert said she was the "second love of his life."

On his podcast, Unglert said he told producers, "Oh, she’s great. If she gets selected for the show, she’ll either win the show or she’ll be the next Bachelorette.’ And I firmly believe that."

Who won season 26 of The Bachelor?

The finale of season 26 of The Bachelor aired on March 15, 2022, at 8pm ET.

In a shocking whirlwind ending of the season, Clayton brought back Susie after breaking up with both Gabby and Rachel.

Clayton revealed that he will be moving in with Susie in Virginia after he left his job and vacated his condo.

Clayton asked Susie if she would accept the final rose, and she said yes.

"It's not team Clayton or team Susie, we're together and we want people to root for us," Susie said, reaffirming that the pair is happy together.

In another twist, for the first time ever there will be two Bachelorettes.

Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia are next season's Bachelorettes.

"For the first time, we will have two Bachelorettes for the entire season," Jesse announced.
