Financial Struggles and Allegations Against Isabel
The separation continued to make headlines when, months later, Gabe launched a GoFundMe in June 2024 to support his financial recovery. In the campaign description, he detailed additional frustrations, alleging that Isabel had mishandled funds he sent for rent and his business, GMP Wear. According to Gabe, after returning to Colombia, he discovered over $3,000 in unpaid rent and other fees. “Months of rent money I was sending was not going towards rent,” he claimed, adding that he felt blindsided by her actions.
Gabe also shared that Isabel had seemingly disappeared for two weeks without informing anyone of her whereabouts. “Currently, me and my wife are separated, we do not talk,” he concluded, emphasizing his desire to rebuild his life.
