The Bachelorette star Gabby Windey has revealed that she's looking forward to spending more time with former Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino and getting to know him better.

Gabby and Vinny, who met on Dancing with the Stars' 31st season, have been publicly flirting on social media since November 15, sparking rumors they're romantically interested in each other.

"Who's Vinny?" Gabby, 31, joked with Us Weekly on Friday while promoting the upcoming "Dancing with the Stars Live 2023 Tour," which will feature The Bachelorette alum as a co-host with pro dancer Emma Slater.

Vinny, 35, will also be appearing on the Dancing with the Stars' tour -- which kicks off January, 6 2023 -- for select dates.

"He's so much fun," Gabby gushed of Vinny, adding, "We built a good friendship on the show and just I think like naturally kind of clicked."

Gabby previously admitted how she and Vinny initially liked stirring the pot and teasing fans with their flirty banter, but Gabby said dating Vinny is a real "possibility" for her.

"I think both of our senses of humor are similar, so [we are] just, like, flirting in the comments [and] seeing where things go," Gabby shared.

Gabby confirmed last week that she'd "of course" go on a date with Vinny, whom she also recently called her "celebrity crush," but the ball is apparently in his court now and he needs to ask her out.

"You guys need to ask him [how he feels]. He's so dead to me because he hasn't been doing any press and I have," Gabby joked. "I'm, like, dealing with all these questions. But he's the one who started it."

Last month, for instance, Vinny playfully dubbed Gabby his "Baby mamma" on social media, and she in turn called him, "My main man."

Gabby also called Vinny a "ten" on Instagram and he quipped in reply about how she needed to stop talking about herself.

Fans of Gabby and Vinny have been shipping them as a couple for over a month now.

"That's kind of been the craziest part about it is, like, how much other people love it," Gabby told the magazine. "And they know we're just messing around and they don't even care."

Gabby said the reaction has been "fun to watch" and it "feels good" to know that people have been rooting for them to be together.

"[They] want you to be happy," Gabby noted.

Gabby got engaged to Erich Schwer on The Bachelorette's Season 19 finale, which aired in September, but they called off their engagement less than two months later.

News of Gabby and Erich's split surfaced on November 4, and then Gabby revealed on Dancing with the Stars later that month how she and her former fiance weren't "in sync" or "the best match" for each other.

Gabby also told Us that the pair wasn't compatible once they started their lives together in the real world after being in The Bachelorette bubble.

While Gabby clearly has an eye on Vinny, she admitted she doesn't "know" if they'd be "compatible" either.

"I truly don't know that much about him," Gabby admitted. "I was, like, so tunnel vision during the competition. You don't really spend that much time with the other celebrities. But, you know, there's only one way to find out!"

Gabby and Vinny will have time to spend together during the Dancing with the Stars tour, which Gabby said she's "excited" to host.

Gabby said her response to hosting the tour was "hell yeah" and "sign me up."

"I'm just like a little bit of an eager beaver, but I had so much fun dancing and a tour is a whole new experience that I'll probably never get a chance to do again in my life," Gabby explained.

"So I wanna be able to take advantage of it to keep dancing. I really fell in love with Ballroom and to try out a new position as a host."

Gabby and her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy finished Dancing with the Stars' 31st season in second place behind winners Charli D'Amelio and pro partner Mark Ballas.

Vinny and his pro partner Koko Iwasaki were eliminated before the show's semifinals round.

Gabby, who also briefly dated The Bachelorettes alums Dean Unglert and Blake Horstmann before her stint on The Bachelor's 26th season starring Clayton Echard, 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."
