“I mean, we’re friends. We were on the show together,” she said. “Apparently both of us just like to kind of stir the pot. Which is, like, funny.”

Evidently, the DWTS celebrity finalist did not expect that their random banters on Instagram to spark rumors. Nevertheless, she and Guadagnino had fun riding fans’ assumptions, saying that it’s “hilarious to watch.”

“[The rumors] did happen out of nowhere. Like, we were bantering and stuff and then all of a sudden one media account, then another, then everybody’s like blowing up in the comments,” she said.

According to her DWTS partner Val Chmerkovskiy who was also in the podcast, the Instagram comments were “an inside joke that got away.” The romance speculations came quick after Windey celebrated a secured spot in the finale of DWTS where both she and Guadagnino are part of the cast.

Windey entered the competition engaged to her Bachelorette sweetheart Erich Schwer. However, the two recently confirmed that they have split up.
