Try this:

<?import javafx.geometry.Insets?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane?>

<?import javafx.scene.control.Button?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.Label?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.Text?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.TextField?>
<GridPane fx:controller="sample.Controller"
          xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" alignment="center" hgap="10" vgap="10">

    <Text text="Sup"
          GridPane.rowIndex="0"
          GridPane.columnSpan="2"
          GridPane.halignment="CENTER" />

    <Label text="Frist Name:"
            GridPane.rowIndex="1"
            GridPane.columnIndex="0"/>

    <TextField
            GridPane.rowIndex="1"
            GridPane.columnIndex="1"/>

    <Button text="Say Sup!"
            GridPane.rowIndex="2"
            GridPane.columnIndex="1"
            GridPane.halignment="RIGHT"/>
