When one fan asked Gabby to name her celebrity crush, Gabby simply posted a photo of her former Dancing with the Stars opponent, former Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino, according to BachelorNation.com.
Gabby and Vinny have been publicly flirting on social media since November 15.

Last month, Vinny playfully dubbed Gabby "Baby mamma" on Instagram, and she called him, "My main man."
Gabby addressed her flirty relationship with Vinny and what was going on between them shortly afterwards.
"I mean, we're friends. We were on [Dancing with the Stars] together," Gabby explained on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast.
"Apparently both of us just like to kind of stir the pot."
Gabby and Vinny competed against each other on Dancing with the Stars' 31st season, but Vinny and his pro partner Koko Iwasaki were eliminated before the semifinals after consistently landing at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard week after week.

For Gabby's part, she and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy finished as the runner-up couple behind winners Charli D'Amelio and pro Mark Ballas.
In late November, Gabby told Us that she would go on a date with Vinny if he asked her out, and she called him a "ten" on Instagram.

And just last week, the Season 19 The Bachelorette star confirmed to the magazine that dating the fellow reality TV star is a real "possibility" for her.
"I don't know, we'll have to wait and see. Gabby, tan, laundry," she joked, referring to the famous tagline, "Gym, tan, laundry," that the Jersey Shore cast would often say when the reality series aired on MTV.

Fans have therefore been shipping Gabby and Vinny dating "hard" for almost a month now. One Instagram user even commented, "So when are you guys getting married?"
Also during Gabby's Q&A session last week, she revealed her favorite moment with Rachel Recchia, who co-starred on The Bachelorette's nineteenth season with her.
"Honestly, so many," Gabby noted, according to BachelorNation.com.
"She's as loyal and amazing as she seems and she's honestly the best thing to come out of my experience on The Bachelor. But also, when I couldn't stop spraying champagne on one of our first days of filming together."
Gabby also confirmed she has no regrets since competing for Clayton Echard's heart on The Bachelor's 26th season.

"So many of this question and no!!!!! And if I did, I would never admit it outloud sooo," Gabby joked.
Gabby also dished to her followers how she has "so many" insecurities when asked to share her biggest insecurity.
"It's a lifelong journey, but the more you can love yourself the more you can love others which is the true reward and makes you feel more connected. I'm not actualized or enlightened though, so also therapy and champagne," Gabby shared.

Gabby was shown accepting a marriage proposal from New Jersey native Erich Schwer on The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale that aired in late September; however, the pair announced their split in early November.
Gabby spoke out about their broken engagement for the first time on Dancing with the Stars' November 14 episode, revealing they're not "in sync" or "the best match" for each other.
While Gabby worked on moving on from Erich, her flirty banter with Vinny on social media fueled speculation they may be into each other and spark up a romance.
Gabby, who also briefly dated The Bachelorettes alums Dean Unglert and Blake Horstmann before her stint on The Bachelor, has been wanting a commitment from a man who will love her unconditionally.
Gabby said her stint on Dancing with the Stars was therapeutic for her as she dealt with her split from Erich.
As for Vinny, Jersey Shore fans probably remember that he hooked up with Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Angelina Pivarnick. He also dated Instagram model Elicea Shyann from 2017-2018.
In 2019, Vinny and his Jersey Shore co-star Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio looked for love on Double Shot at Love, but a lasting relationship didn't come from the show.

Vinny also dated Too Hot to Handle star Francesca Farago in 2020, according to Life & Style.
When asked if he'd like to get married and have kids, Vinny told In Touch Weekly in June 2021, "I would never just settle down just to settle down. It would have to be for the right one."
