In an interview with The Tab, Gabby shared that she would like to have a conversation with Marcel to address the situation, adding that she would be open to forming a friendship despite not being able to “look at him in the same way.”
“We haven’t seen each other in years,” began Gabby. “I would like to have a conversation with him, and put it behind us. I don’t think I would ever get back with him, it was a betrayal of trust. There are no hard feelings. We had a great experience together. I think we could be mates.”
