Gabriel welcomed a daughter in 2020. He values privacy and has not revealed her name. In February 2023, Gabriel shared a photo of himself with his daughter. He wrote on Instagram, “A glimpse into the pit of insanity. If you live in the midst of chaos your thinking becomes chaotic and disorganized. Indeed. That is my ultimate secret to remaining inhumanly tense and on edge. Always keep yourself guessing so that your enemies and rivals wont have any idea what your next move will be. Always wear your gi. And always possess wrist control when addressing a toddler.”

So if acting doesn’t work out, which I hope it does, I’m probably going to go into graphic design or something like that.” Gabriel showcases his hand-drawn illustrations on the Instagram page @son.sonofnone. In August 2022, Gabriel revealed that he personally created a piece of art for Keanu Reeves, his co-star in The Whole Truth. “My art officially adorns the halls of a legend. Much love to this man for trusting me with a pen,” Gabriel wrote on Instagram.

5. Gabriel recently became a certified waller.

Gabriel is a man of many talents. “After a solid week of work, I passed my Level 1 exam. Im officially a DSWA-certified waller and have a trade. No longer am I simply a clown who serves no other purpose than to entertain. I can pile stones on other stones in an organized manner now too. Level 2 soon,” he shared on Instagram.
