A fan joked that they are “stanning” the couple, and that no one should come after them!
90 Day Dramaturg kept it simple, saying that Gabe is a true king, reminding followers how Isabel’s daughter called him “respectful, calm, [and] fun,” which are great qualities in a step-dad.
TV Queen thought Gabe has good energy and could get along with almost anyone. What a great compliment!

While Isabel, and her daughter, Sara, already know and have long accepted that Gabe was born female and transitioned to male, Gabe is certain that he needs to be open and honest with Isabel’s family, including her parents, who he loves and respects.
“They gotta know,” Gabe admitted in last week’s episode. “They accepted me. They love me so much, and I feel like every time I see them, I’m like, ‘Damn, I feel so bad,’ because they need to know.”
He revealed how happy he is to become a part of a new family and that he does not want any secrets.
