Personal Life
Relationships
Gabi has her first boyfriend in sixth grade. she also had an on and off relationship with a guy for 2 years just before Freshman Year. He dumped her for one of her friends.
In October 2010, whilst at Notre Dame High School, Gabi began dating Brandon Grube. They had both met during the summer 2 months before the new school year started. Brandon asked Gabi to go to his Senior Homecoming with him and gave her a stuffed dog. They had their first kiss waiting for the bus to come standing outside his locker. Gabi had to ask her parents permission before she could accept Brandon as her boyfriend because of their age difference. By February 2011, Gabi was suspicious of Brandon and was worried that he might be cheating on her but didn't say anything for fear of losing him. In June she found out that he had indeed cheated on her. During the Christmas break of 2011, Brandon broke up with Gabi. After the weekend he started dating Gabi again. During the April of Gabi's Freshman Year of College, her parents bought Brandon a MacBook and Gabi was looking through his Skype and found out that he had another girlfriend of 9 months, since August. After this Brandon broke up with Gabi again. After this Gabi went and begged him to take her back. Gabi then wanted to date someone else but Brandon wouldn't let her break up with him. After this they were kind of dating but not really. During summer 2015 Gabi met Collin Vogt whilst still technically in a relationship with Brandon. While on a break with Brandon, Gabi was seeing a guy who she refers to as Joey while she was at college. Gabi describes him as the guy who broke her heart (they broke up in early July 2015).[39]
In 2018, Gabi revealed that Canadian singer Justin Bieber asked her out back in February 14, 2015, while she was dating her ex-boyfriend.[40]
On July 25, 2015, Gabi started dating Collin Vogt. In late 2018, they moved in together in a cottage in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. They call the cottage The Castaway Cottage. For their 4-year anniversary they went to Bermuda and plan to have a second home there one day. Gabi and Collin hope to have children together. In Gabi's YouTube Video "i threw up during an expensive massage", which was published on August 9, 2019, she revealed that when she and Collin have kids they want to raise them in Bermuda. She also revealed in her next vlog that she'd moved out of the "Cinderella Cottage" in LA because she only went there a couple times a year. She said that in about a years time she and Collin will hopefully get a second home in Bermuda. On February 10, 2020, Gabi shared a Q&A video with Collin and he confirmed that he was going to propose to Gabi very soon. They also said that they would name their children, if they were girls, Elowyn and Clara, and if they were boys, Eden and River.
