The Bachelorette’s Gabby Windey holds a rose for her final rose ceremony.

A former The Bachelorette winner has gone public with his new girlfriend, and Bachelor Nation fans are raving about it. Gabby Windey fell in love with Erich Schwer during her season of The Bachelorette, which aired in the summer and fall of 2022. Schwer received Windey’s final rose and the couple became engaged, but the joy they showed during the September finale quickly faded. Less than two months after the finale aired and after weeks of rumors, Windey confirmed their engagement was over. Now he has made it clear that he has switched to someone else.

Erich Schwer is dating model Elizabeth Turner

The big revelation came on Valentine’s Day. First, Turner shared a photo showing her kissing Heavy via their Instagram stories. The former “Bachelorette” winner later shared it again via his Instagram stories. So far, however, neither of them have shared anything about their romance on their Instagram feeds.

As The Sun shared, Turner is a model who graduated from Duke University in North Carolina in 2014. She became a clinical psychologist and is currently working her way through graduate school. According to Turner’s LinkedIn pageShe graduated from Duke with a Bachelor of Science in English Language and Literature. TV Overmind already noted Turner has expressed an interest in eventually pursuing a PhD in psychology.

In November 2020, rumors circulated that Turner was dating “The Bachelorette” star Tyler Cameron. At that time, a source told E! News The two had “had a few dates,” but added, “It’s nothing serious.” Turner was romantic associated with Leonardo DiCaprio And Ryan Eggold from New Amsterdam also in the past.

Schwer said he fought after The Bachelorette

The former “Bachelorette” star recently hinted that he might be ready to start looking for love again. On February 10th Difficulty with OK! magazine he took things “very slowly.” He also shared, “I personally struggled with my mental health during my last relationship, and I wish I could have dealt with it better.” He noted that he was trying to manage publicity and engagement while he was dating was dealing with his father’s death at the same time, and “There were times when I felt lost and unmotivated, and unfortunately this spilled over into some other areas of my life.”

Of his short-lived romance with Windey, Heavy said Muscle & Fitness recently, “I think we had a really great connection and there was just a lot of external factors, and I think once we got back into the public eye our lives went in different directions pretty quickly.” Despite the split, Schwer insisted that he “Proud as hell of her,” adding, “She’s made an amazing career out of it and she’s doing amazing things.” While Schwer admitted he “just went into hiding for a while” after the breakup, he apparently is ready for romance again. Of course, Bachelor Nation fans had some concerns when the revealing Instagram story was shared on The Bachelor sub.

“Based on the girl he dated before the show and now on this girl, he has a guy and it’s not talkative.” joked one Redditor.

“Hopefully they live happily ever after summer so we don’t have to see him on BIP lol.” joked another.

“Damn, tough start on Valentine’s Day is a choice,” someone else explained.
