Comedian Robby Hoffman has shared her unique vision for a quinceañera-themed bat mitzvah that she hopes to organise for her wife, Gabby Windey, if Windey decides to convert to Judaism. Hoffman, who grew up in a Hasidic Jewish family, made the comments during a recent interview and explained that the idea stems from her wife’s background. Windey, who is 35, was a military brat and never had the chance to experience a traditional quinceañera celebration.

Hoffman, 39, expressed the sentiment that such a themed celebration would combine elements that are significant to both of them. She quipped, “It would be the perfect combination for us. The quinceañera bat mitzvah could be excellent. We can be the first.” However, she was quick to clarify that she is not pressuring Windey into making a decision about conversion. Instead, she noted, “We’re not really actively pursuing anything, but she just, I think, wants to be matching.”
The couple’s relationship appears to have garnered positive attention since they tied the knot in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas in January 2025, just under two years after they first met in Los Angeles in 2023. Hoffman reminisced about their initial connection, noting, “I thought she was gorgeous.” Their romance intensified rapidly, with Hoffman revealing that just 13 days into dating, she confessed her love for Windey. “I was very honest about my intentions and how I felt. I’m pretty decisive,” she said.
The comedian likened her commitment to Windey to her long-term relationship with her glasses, which she had for 12 years. “They were on a teddy bear in a window of an optometrist, and I thought, ‘They look small enough for me,’” she explained, drawing a humorous analogy to her feelings for her wife. She further emphasised her intentions by playfully stating, “I need at least 50 years with you. Give me 50 years, and then make a decision.”
Hoffman’s marriage to Windey often serves as a source of inspiration for her comedic material; however, she does not typically run her jokes by her spouse. “I do not, but I should,” she stated, while acknowledging that Windey is supportive of her career. “If she has something to say, well, she’s going to say what she has to say. I mean, my wife is not shy,” she added with a laugh.
While Hoffman has spoken candidly about her relationship, she initially hesitated to go public. She admitted, “I’m always pessimistic, so I just thought less is more on the private fronts.” Nevertheless, the reaction to their love story has been overwhelmingly positive. “It feels very organic. We’re just living our lives, and maybe you see 0.5% in pictures, but I’m with her 99% of the time,” she remarked, highlighting the balance between public and private life in their relationship.
Moving beyond their personal lives, Hoffman touched on her spiritual journey. Although she describes herself as having moved away from strict religious adherence, she maintains a belief system that resonates with her. “I still pray at night — I’m not an animal,” she joked. She added, “I’m doing gay, and it seems like God’s letting me get away with it, so I’m grateful.” This light-hearted yet spiritual perspective reflects her unique approach to faith in relation to her identity.
As the couple continues to navigate their lives together, fans can anticipate more updates from Hoffman. The comedian is set to feature in an upcoming issue of PEOPLE magazine, where she will likely share additional insights into her and Windey’s relationship, along with her comedic aspirations.
Their love story exemplifies a modern relationship that merges diverse backgrounds, cultures, and beliefs, proving that love can indeed create its unique celebrations, even those as eclectic as a quinceañera-themed bat mitzvah.
