She was born at 10 May 1995 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Her mother, Catherine, is a skating coach. Her father lives in Texas.

«My father is from Athens Greece, but his whole family come from Crete. I knew a few frases in Greek, but since i haven’t been in Greece for many years now, i forgot it» Gabriella said in an interview in the newspaper «L’Equipe».

She has been working with Guillaume since they were 9 years old, after her mother’s suggestion, who was also their trainer.
