But arcs in prestiege comedies are far from the only thing occupying Hoffman’s time right now. She and Windey are enjoying settling into their life as a married couple, and getting closer to each other’s families: “Gabby is so cute. She gets so much free shit, like cosmetics and stuff. My little sister is currently staying on our couch, and she already texted me, ‘I’m so excited to use Gabby’s masks.’ Gabby just naturally thinks of that stuff.”
They’re also planning a future on their own terms. For now, they do not plan to have kids; as Hoffman puts it, “We want to be each other’s babies forever. We want to heal through each other and with each other. When my brothers and I would fight growing up, my mother would always say, ‘You don’t choose your family,’ but marriage is the one loophole to that.”
In their downtime, Hoffman and Windey are big fans of visiting LA’s many Korean spas, and they favor old-Hollywood haunts like Musso & Frank or Taix for date nights. As Hoffman tells me about bringing Windey to visit her mother in Regina, Saskatchewan, she pauses to amusedly note the city’s correct pronunciation: It rhymes with “vagina,” in case you were unsure.
She can’t help this kind of thing. “Whether it’s a highbrow thing or lowbrow,” Hoffman says, “I’m never, ever going to leave a joke on the floor.”
