Gabby Windey joked about being pregnant on Wednesday’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” where the host held up a selfie she took in a fake belly on the set of Netflix’s “The Body.” “As you can see I’m pregnant,” Windey said, Bachelor Nation reported.
Meyers thought the belly looked very realistic, according to Bachelor Nation. “It was quite gray in person. If there was a baby in there, you would be worried about its blood flow,” said Windey, who worked in ICU nursing at University of Colorado Hospital before reality TV, according to NBC.
“Potential necrosis,” she added.
The prognosis improved from there. “But this baby is fully alive and doing well with foundation on. Just like mom,” Windey said.
Gabby Windey’s ‘Late Night’ Fart Threats and Acting Debut
She plays Coach Miller, the pregnant coach of a dance team, Bachelor Nation reported. The show’s official clip description says she talked about “making her acting debut in the series The Body, her wife Robby Hoffman being obsessed with her and her experience teaching a dance class for 4-year-olds.”
“John Malkovich and Gabby Windey stop by Studio 8G TONIGHT!” the show posted on X that afternoon. The kids’ dance class got top billing in the clip’s title, which says Windey “Used Fart Threats on 4-Year-Olds.”
The same title says she “Is Terrified to Watch Herself in The Body.”
Inside Quinn Shephard’s ‘Raunchy Teen Psychodrama’
Netflix lists Coach Miller as a recurring role, and Sofia Wylie and Nnamdi Asomugha are among the series regulars, Tudum reported. “It’s a raunchy teen psychodrama with a dash of Catholic horror,” creator Quinn Shephard told Tudum.
Netflix’s synopsis starts with a ritual. “After a dance-team initiation goes wrong, a group of badly behaved Catholic school girls begin having prophetic visions,” it says, and those visions stir up mass hysteria in their town.
“I’ve always been interested in the idea of girlhood as a religious experience,” Shephard said.
Shephard, who talked satire with Gayety for 2022’s “Not Okay,” also directs the premiere and some later episodes, according to Tudum. “It’s satirizing some of the trauma of growing up queer and repressed and the confusion around that,” the creator said.
Robby Hoffman Calls Windey ‘The People’s Princess’
Hoffman, the comedian Windey married in Las Vegas on Jan. 11, 2025, reposted the “Late Night” clip to her Instagram Story. “The people’s princess!!! And my queen!” she wrote, according to Bachelor Nation.
The couple made it legal in a Los Angeles County civil ceremony that April, Cosmopolitan reported. They marked their first anniversary in January. “The best and fastest year of my life,” Windey wrote on Instagram at the time.
From ‘The Bachelorette’ to ‘I’m a Lesbian Now’
Windey co-led Season 19 of “The Bachelorette” with Rachel Recchia and finished second on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2022, NBC says. In August 2023, the same month she went public with Hoffman, she told Bethenny Frankel’s “Just B” podcast, “I honestly do think real love transcends gender to a point, and I truly feel like that,” ET reported.
On the Season 3 premiere of Peacock’s “The Traitors,” fellow player Jeremy Collins asked how her “Bachelorette” season ended. “I’m a lesbian now,” replied Windey, who went on to be one of that season’s winners, Entertainment Weekly reported.
She credits Hoffman with patience early on. “I had such a good partner to kind of show me the ropes and lesbian culture and just be really patient with me,” Windey told Interview in February 2025.
Her bump stays on set, though. “We don’t want kids,” Windey said in the same Interview conversation. “No kids!” Hoffman added.
Windey also hosts the weekly SiriusXM podcast “Long Winded with Gabby Windey,” billed as “a deep dive into the topics today’s audiences care about.”
