Gabby Windey is looking for love again!

The former Bachelorette star, 31, opened about potentially starting a romance with her Dancing with the Stars pal Vinny Guadagnino during an interview with E! on the red carpet of the 2022 People's Choice Awards.

"I think it's a possibility," she shared. "I don't know. We'll all have to wait and see."

When host Laverne Cox asked if she had any GTL [gym, tan, laundry] plans on her radar — referring to Guadagnino's Jersey Shore catchphrase — Windey joked, "Gabby, tan, laundry!"

Windey also noted how "not enough" people were sliding into her DMs after her split from ex-fiancé  Erich Schwer last month. "So if you need permission, now's the time!" she jokingly added.

One comment saw Windey call him her "main man" as Guadagnino called Windey his "baby mama."

Another flirty exchange featured Guadagnino's caption: "Stop looking for the one…be the one, and let them all come to you." Windey responded that she was "Omw [on my way]."
