Bachelorette Gabby Windey and Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino were spotted holding hands during a flirty night out for a Dancing With the Stars tour stop, The U.S. Sun has exclusively learned.
Gabby is a cast member of the Dancing With the Stars Live 2023 Tour, and Vinny joined the group temporarily last week.

Vinny, 35, had his fourth and final performance at Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on January 14.
After fist-pumping his way onto the stage, he told the crowd it felt “amazing” to be back with the DWTS cast, according to an eyewitness.
The 35-year-old reality star joined Gabby, 32, and pro dancer Emma Slater on stage.
“The crowd went wild once they saw Vinny, even Gabby and Emma were cheering him on and dancing along with him,” the source continued.
“Vinny and Gabby were on stage together a few times throughout the show when they were dancing and talking to the audience.
“They definitely had a flirtatious vibe going on and looked like they were just having a blast.
“They smiled at each other and laughed.
“They held hands a few times on stage – It seemed like it was part of the dance routine but also seemed genuine.
“They also held hands when they bowed to the audience at the end.”
DANCING DUO
The 32-year-old Bachelorette star had a “moment” with Vinny when they “looked into each other’s eyes,” the witness said.
Gabby asked Vinny: “Don’t you feel like ballroom dance you build such an emotional connection with your partner?”
Vinny responded: “Definitely. I was more a physical guy, but that [DWTS] process taught me to be a little bit sensual.”
Gabby then said: “I mean you really have to look into the other one’s eyes. Like right now.”
Vinny awkwardly told her: “I’m looking into your soul.”
Gabby then took a dig at the ABC reality dating show: “Maybe I would be more successful on The Bachelorette if any of those men knew how to dance.”
Vinny asked: “Those guys didn’t know how to move their hips?”
Gabby responded: “They didn’t know how to do much of anything.”

RELATIONSHIP STATUS
Following the show at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Gabby departed ways with Vinny as she and the rest of the cast traveled to their next tour stop.
The rest of the cast on the DWTS Tour includes Alan Bersten, Alexis Warr, Brandon Armstrong, Britt Stewart, Emma Slater, Gleb Savchenko, Kateryna Klishyna, and Sasha Farber.
The Staten Island native, however, remained in Atlantic City to host The Pool After Dark at Harrah’s Resort on Saturday night.
An eyewitness told The U.S. Sun that he was seen “partying with his male friends, drinking vodka sodas, and was distracted by his phone.”
He “avoided flirting with girls,” especially since his VIP table was blocked off from the crowd.
“There were a few dancers from The Pool that entertained him and his friends, but he wasn’t doing too much socializing,” the insider shared.
When Vinny took the stage to take photos and videos for his Instagram, he asked people to “DM him” and reminded them that he’s “single.”
“I just came from ballroom dancing on Dancing with the Stars. But now, I’m here to get f**ked up tonight,” he told the crowd.
“Where are my single ladies at? I’m single!”
Meanwhile, Gabby is also single after splitting from her ex-fiancé Erich Schwer two months after The Bachelorette finale.
‘OPEN TO DATING’
Fans have been rooting for Gabby and Vinny to date after catching their flirtatious social media banter back in November when both were competing on season 31 of DWTS.
In one Instagram pic, the Jersey Shore star wrote in the caption: “Stop looking for the one…be the one, and let them all come to you.”
Gabby jokingly commented: “Omw (On my way).”
She told media outlets at the time that she “could use a pick-me-up” when asked if she was “open to dating” Vinny.
The former Denver Broncos cheerleader then addressed her rumored fling in a December interview with Us Weekly: “[Vinny’s] so much fun. We built a good friendship on the show and just I think like naturally kind of clicked.
“I think both of our senses of humor are similar, so [we are] just, like, flirting in the comments [and] seeing where things go.”
While Gabby continues on the DWTS Tour, Vinny will be reuniting with the cast of Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
The new season premieres on January 26 at 8pm Eastern on MTV.
