"I could use a pick me up," she noted.
Gabby's Dancing with the Stars pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy interjected, "She likes food!"
Gabby and Vinny, 35, worked fans into a frenzy when they flirted on social media with each other last week.
The former Jersey Shore star called Gabby his "baby mamma" and Gabby dubbed her former Dancing with the Stars opponent her "main man" on Instagram, which sparked dating rumors.
Gabby addressed speculation a romance was brewing on Friday.
"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. Which is, like, funny. But [the rumors] did happen out of nowhere."
The Season 19 The Bachelorette star admitted on the podcast it's "hilarious to watch" fans freak out or get excited over the idea of her possibly getting romantically involved with Vinny.
Gabby then joked about how she may appear on the next Jersey Shore Reunion.
"Gym, tan and laundry, baby! I am, like, a Guido in training," Gabby quipped.

Gabby recently split from her The Bachelorette 19 winner Erich Schwer. She 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.
The next day, Gabby posted a video of one of her semifinal performances on Instagram.
"We're going to finale!!!!! I'm filled with so many different emotions -- excitement, fear, gratitude, and mourning that this experience will soon end. Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us and I hope to make you proud next week!!" Gabby captioned the clip last week.
Vinny commented on Gabby's post, "Good job Baby mamma," to which Gabby replied, "My main man."
That same day, fans noticed that Gabby dropped a comment on Vinny's Instagram page.

Another fan commented, "[Vinny] could you please end your single life for her? She's totally worth it and you know it!!! @gabby.windey go for Vinny!!!"

Earlier this month, E! News reported multiple sources claiming Gabby had dumped Erich and the pair's relationship was over less than two months after The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale aired on ABC, and then People confirmed the report on November 4.
After Gabby made her statement on Dancing with the Stars, Erich explained via Instagram Stories last week how he can't put his finger on one thing that went wrong with his relationship. Erich noted how he and Gabby simply aren't each other's person.
Prior to falling in love with Erich on The Bachelorette, Gabby competed on Clayton Echard's The Bachelor season earlier this year.
Gabby also previously dated, briefly, The Bachelorette alums Dean Unglert and Blake Horstmann.
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.

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."
Vinny added how he gets a taste of married life just from hanging out with his friends.
"I get to talk about, like, marriage stuff and Home Goods and Bed Bath [& Beyond], and I get to, like, hold their babies and then give them back to them," Vinny joked with the magazine. "It's kind of like a perfect situation right now."
Gabby has been wanting a commitment from a man who will love her unconditionally.
But until she finds that person, Gabby told Us last week that she's just "trying to move forward" after her breakup with Erich, a real estate agent from New Jersey.
Gabby said her stint on Dancing with the Stars was therapeutic for her, although she wouldn't describe it as a "distraction" from her personal life.
