The 42-year-old fitness guru - who wrestled under the ring name Tyler Reks - shared the news via a press release on Thursday, calling Gabbi's journey a 'thrilling story of gender transitioning.'
'Gabbi is about to share her thrilling story of gender transitioning from a former WWE Superstar, Body Builder, Fitness Guru, Motivational Speaker and Motorcycle Racer to a fun loving and fabulous female,' the release read.
'She has been finally set free and ready to rule her world.'
The release continues, saying: 'Despite his successes during and after his WWE career, Gabe was still wrestling with a secret persona dwelling deep within him. This is a persona he has been hiding in the loud silence of his soul since childhood," the release continues.
'Finally, with the blessing of his loving wife Priscilla, Gabe is ready to reveal who he really is. "He" is now known as "She": A beautiful, wise, witty and wonderful woman called "Gabbi.""
'This is a story that wrestling and other sports fans, friends and followers must not miss, especially many in the LGBTQ community dealing with challenging transgender issues, who Gabbi and [wife] Priscilla are willing to help,' the release goes on.
The San Francisco-born wrestling star will share more about her transition in an in depth interview on Extra this Friday.
