Recchia revealed she has stayed in touch with Windey and has made every effort to be in theDWTSballroom to watch her compete.
“As much as we can talk and exchange texts we do, and I go and support her in person really any chance I can get,” she shared. “Whatever support and whatever she needs right now, I’m going to try to give to her, just because we all know how difficult it is, especially in the public eye.”
Recchia — who also split from fiancéTino Franco, who she met on the ABC reality show — continued, “I’m just happy she has something to focus on instead of just whatever is happening behind the scenes.”
