Robby Hoffman joked that she wears the pants when it comes to treating wife Gabby Widney out.
“I’m the boy in my relationship. I pay a lot,” the comedian, 36, joked while appearing on the Tuesday, April 28, episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “When somebody else is paying, it’s unusual for me.”
Hoffman explained that when she travels solo for work or personal reasons, she prefers to keep things low-key. The experience changes entirely, however, when she’s joined by Windey.
“When I’m traveling with Gabby, my wife, that’s when I splurge,” she added. “We’re pressing play on the movie at the same time, it’s a whole different experience.”
Hoffman shared that Widney is a “first class” woman and it doesn’t feel right when the Traitors winner is sitting in the back of the plane.
“People don’t want to see Gab and me necessarily in economy. They want to dream,” she said. “We’ve been at it. They’ve seen us at it and they’re like, ‘Hard work does not pay off at all.’ Like the American Dream is that dead.”
Windey and Hoffman started dating in 2023. Before her romance with the Hacks star, Widney was engaged to Erich Schwer after appearing on season 19 of The Bachelorette.
Two years later, Hoffman and Widney secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas. The couple decided to elope after they evacuated their home during the California wildfires in January 2025.
“Gabby turned to me and she went, ‘Should we get married?’ And look: I’ve been proposing since the day I met her,” Hoffman recalled in a March 2025 interview with Cosmopolitan. “We got to this room and it’s like out of a mafia movie, 12-foot ceilings, a separate bedroom from the living room, that type of hotel. And we were like, ‘Whoa.’ And then Gabby floated getting married.”
Windey added, “It was nice, it being my idea, Robby was literally ready to propose three weeks in and I’m always the one pumping the breaks, but when something feels right, it just feels right. I think it was better for the both of us that it was my idea.”
Later that year, Hoffman opened up about her and Windey’s first year of marriage.
“People say the first year is the hardest. We can’t believe it every day. I’m so thrilled,” she said during an December 2025 appearance on Josh Peck and Ben Soffer‘s “Good Guys” podcast. “Maybe straight people, they move in later. You know what I mean? Maybe the first year of marriage is the real dating. We were doing all that, but we got it out in the dating. So we’re just now like, ‘Let’s go. We are home.’”
