Gabbie Hanna is an American Internet and YouTube personality who rose to fame when she created “The Gabbie Show” and her vlog channel, earning herself over 6.5 Million subscribers. Gabbie gained further popularity after collaborating with some of the biggest creators on the platform.
She teamed up with Lilly Singh, Miranda Sings, Joey Graceffa, Ricky Dillon, and Shane Dawson and uploaded a lot of content. Besides this, Gabbie dropped her debut song Out Loud in 2017, which caught the larger audience’s attention.
Early Life
Gabrielle Jeannette Hanna was born on February 7th, 1991, and was raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania. She is mainly of Lebanese, French, and Polish descent. Gabbie grew up in a loving home with six siblings, five sisters and one brother.
As a kid, Hanna was energetic, and it was her rambunctive personality that inspired her to create her account on Vine and YouTube. Gabbie attended the University of Pittsburgh where she majored in psychology with a minor in Economics.
But after graduating from college, she didn’t continue her psychology education and ended up working as a waitress. It was while serving tables that Gabbie first got into Vine.
Career
Gabbie originally registered her Vine account under her real name in late 2013. However, when she got going, she decided that the content she was producing might make it harder for her to get a job. Soon, she changed the name of her account to “The Gabby Show”.
Gabbie started blowing up online and garnered a large following through sharing impressive content. Slowly but gradually, she earned over 4.9 million followers and over 3 billion loops. Following her success, she relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a Vine Star. However, the platform shut down in 2016.
From there, Gabbie built a Facebook page, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram and continued to earn a large following on those platforms as well.
Breakthrough
The biggest breakthrough moment of Gabbie’s career came when she joined YouTube. While most YouTubers generally build a main channel before creating spin-off channels, Gabbi was already so popular online that she felt comfortable starting two channels almost simultaneously.
Gabbie’s vlog channel was created on January 25, 2014, with her first video posted seven months later on August 27. The Gabbie Show channel (although far more popular today) was created a couple of weeks after the vlog channel on February 11, 2014.
Her first video on The Gabbie Show channel was posted once again seven months later, on September 10, 2014. She posted a Q&A video on her vlog channel; it was a Vine compilation. Both channels grew steadily over time as her fans from Vine discovered her on YouTube. Gabbie Hanna has a net worth of $3 Million.
Other Ventures
Outside of social media, Gabbie is also known for her film work. In 2015, Awesomeness Films produced a comedy movie called Janoskians: Untold and Untrue, featuring Gabbie. The following year, she appeared in the comedy film Laid in America.
From there, Hanna continued to appear in one project after another, including Oscar’s Hotel for Fantastical Creatures, Sanders Shorts, Dance Showdown, All My Plants are Dead, Creator to Watch, Escape the Night, Total Request Live, Ice Cream Therapy, Betch!, Occupy Alice, Teens want a Know, and Anxt.
Additionally, Gabbie tried her hand at music by releasing songs and EPs such as Monster, Honestly, Call Me Crazy, Out Loud, Bad Karma,2WayMirror, Glass House, Butterflies, You Oughta Know, Medicate, and more.
Personal Life
From a young age, Gabbie felt like she was fat, even though she wasn’t. As a result, she explained that she spent an unhealthy amount of time thinking about and worrying about food.
Gabbie would go days without eating and struggle with eating disorders. Eventually, Gabbie dealt with the problem healthily, working with a therapist and focusing on a healthy diet and exercise.
Gabbie began dating Payton Saxon in August 2019. Gabbie shared a poem she wrote on Twitter after their 2nd date.
