Robby Hoffman on Marriage and Career Success
Comedian Robby Hoffman, best known for her role in the Netflix series Hacks, recently sat down with Josh Peck and Ben Soffer on their podcast “Good Guys” to share insights into her marriage to fellow comedian Gabby Windey. The conversation delves into the early days of their relationship, their career successes, and what it means to be each other’s biggest supporters.
No Plans for Kids
One of the most intriguing topics discussed was whether Hoffman and Windey plan to start a family. With the couple approaching their first anniversary, Hoffman made it clear that they have no intention of having children: “No, no, no, no, no, no kids.” She explained, “First of all, you know, physically speaking, the science — it’s different for straight people because it can happen naturally. Sometimes it doesn’t happen naturally. But for us, it’s kind of like because we’d have to go very out of our way … it’s not something we want to go out of our way for.” This candid admission provides a glimpse into their personal choices and priorities.
Success in Comedy
Hoffman also shared the journey behind her recent success. “I’ve been very slow and steady, wins the race,” she said with a smile. “I’ve been working a long time, but steadily chipping away.” The comedian’s rise to prominence is marked by significant achievements; she recently nabbed a recurring role on Hacks and is set to debut her new stand-up special, “Wake Up,” which hits Netflix on December 14. Hoffman’s career trajectory showcases the hard work and dedication required in the entertainment industry.
Supportive Marriage
The conversation wasn’t just about professional milestones; it also touched on the dynamics of their relationship. Hoffman praised her wife, Gabby Windey, calling her “unbelievable.” She shared that meeting Windey was a game-changer for her career: “Meeting Gabby, I think she knew no matter what, whether she’s there or not, this is what I do. For love or money, when I’m poor … there’s nothing else you’re gonna do.” This mutual support and encouragement are evident in their relationship.
Lessons from Marriage
Hoffman concluded by reflecting on the lessons she’s learned in her first year of marriage to Windey. “We’re in a refinement stage,” she teased, suggesting that being with your other half helps you grow and understand each other better. She highlighted that she doesn’t always have to say what’s on her mind or try to make everyone laugh, which is an important lesson for any relationship.
The podcast episode offers valuable insights into the personal lives of two successful comedians, highlighting their journey to success and the importance of mutual support in both careers and personal relationships. As Hoffman prepares for the release of “Wake Up,” fans can look forward to more laughs and stories from this dynamic duo.
