Emmerdale’s character Gabby Thomas, portrayed by actress Rosie Bentham, has faced numerous romantic challenges in the show. Rosie Bentham entered the Emmerdale cast in 2016 as Gabby Thomas and has experienced a tumultuous love life storyline in the show.

Gabby Thomas, as a single mother, was set to marry Vinny Dingle last year. Their relationship faced turmoil as Vinny was secretly struggling with his sexuality, leading to their breakup. Currently, with Vinny now dating Lewis Barton, Gabby is showing interest in Vinny’s brother, Ross Barton.

Off-screen, Rosie Bentham has maintained privacy regarding her personal relationships but has shared some insights. In January 2023, Rosie revealed her dating “red flags,” highlighting the distinction between genuine interest in her and curiosity about her character when interacting with fans.

Rosie emphasized the importance of privacy in her love life, mentioning her preference for dating “real blokes” over celebrities. In a later interview, she disclosed being in a relationship since a few months prior, opting to keep details private due to the fast-paced nature of relationships at her age.

In September 2025, Rosie unveiled her three-year-long secret relationship, expressing happiness and contentment. Her boyfriend, who prefers anonymity, was introduced to her through a mutual friend. They share a passion for health and fitness and enjoy a peaceful life away from the spotlight.

Despite attending events together, Rosie’s boyfriend prefers to remain out of the public eye. Their relationship thrives on shared interests and mutual respect for each other’s privacy. Rosie appreciates the balance between her work in the TV industry and their private life, with her boyfriend finding humor in being recognized as “Gabby” by fans.
