She's hilarious and married to our new lesbian icon, but who is Robby Hoffman?
The third season of The Traitorsmade reality TV star Gabby Windey a household name and an instant lesbian icon, but the announcement that the former Bachelorette just got married in a secret Las Vegas wedding made us curious about who won her heart.
Earlier this week, Windey married her girlfriend, Robby Hoffman, who is both a comedian and television writer, but since she hasn’t spent the last decade on reality TV the way Windey has, most people don’t know who she is. And a crying shame because Hoffman has a darkly sarcastic wit, a deadpan delivery, and talks openly about her sexuality, gender identity, and relationship with Windey.
But who is Robby Hoffman and why should you be falling in love with her just like Windey?
If you're a lover of comedy, you need to know who Robby Hoffman is. Hoffman is an award-winning TV writer and stand-up comic who has written for shows like Workin’ Moms, The Chris Gethard Show, Baroness Von Sketch Show, and Odd Squad, for which she scored a Daytime Emmy. She was named “Comic to Watch” in 2020 by the New York Comedy Festival and has an hour-long comedy special called I’m Nervous on Just for Laughs' YouTube channel.
The comic was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., but was raised in Montreal, Canada by a single mother. Hoffman, who grew up in a Hasidic Jewish family with nine siblings, now considers herself to be ex-Hasidic but describes herself as both “very Jewish” and “very gay,” Hey Alma reports.
Hoffman is currently working on writing a comedy for Showtime and A24 that’s loosely based on her own life, called Rivkah, Cosmo reports. The TV show will be about her life as a genderqueer woman living in LA and her youth spent living in the closet within a Hasidic Jewish community.
Hoffman is a genderqueer woman, who has had top surgery, and uses she/her pronouns. While on an episode of Long Winded with Gabby Windey, Hoffman described getting top surgery as being “way better” than she ever thought it could be.
Hoffman started dating The Traitors star Gabby Windey back in 2023 after the pair met outside a bar. Windey came out on The View by announcing she was in a relationship with a woman and then the went Instagram official in August 2023 and moved in together the following year.
The cute couple tied the knot in Las Vegas on January 11, 2025, but kept their nuptials secret until March 5, when they did an interview about the wedding with Cosmopolitan.
The couple was staying in a penthouse in Las Vegas when they decided to get married, but it was Hoffman who ultimately proposed in the cutest and nerdiest way imaginable.
“I had a friend make a crossword,” Hoffman revealed to Comso. “I gave him the clues and the answers, and I said it had to say, “WILL YOU MARRY ME, GABBY.”
Luckily, Windey said yes and they got married in an intimate and very Sapphic ceremony where the couple danced to Chappell Roan’s “Hot To Go.”
When giving advice to a caller on her wife’s podcast Long Winded with Gabby Windey about top surgery and dealing with dysphoria while strapping, Hoffman said, “I like to top and to strap, but I don’t have rhythmic sensibility about me, I know people have seen me dance or my version of dance” she said before saying that getting top surgery helped her feel more confident int he bedroom but it wasn’t the main reason she got it done. She went on to say, “Sex for me is so mental, if I’m strapping and I want to feel more masc, I get that. You just want to feel as much you as you can when you’re doing sex because it’s so intimate.”
