The hit Bravo reality TV series Summer House season 8 first premiered on February 22, 2024. So far, the show has offered insights into the close-knit relationship between cast members Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Paige DeSorbo, Danielle Olivera, Ciara Miller, and Gabby Prescod.
32-year-old Gabby Prescod joined the Summer House cast in season 7 and planned on meeting "new, like-minded friends" following her debut on the show. As a fashion director, Gabby has worked with big names such as Blanc magazine, Bustle, and Grazia.
Her Summer House season 8 description briefly describes her personality and what viewers can expect from her storyline this season. Gabby Prescod's official Bravo TV bio states that she approaches life with a "fresh perspective" and wants to let her "guard down" gradually.
"Gabby is approaching life with a fresh perspective. She is slowly freeing herself up to live life in a more open way. Her parents left their family home in New York last summer to pursue a new life for themselves in Texas. Feeling abandoned, she leans on her new friends in the house for support, but finds letting her guard down is harder than she expected."
