Ever since Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady hung up their cleats in back-to-back years, their partners and ex-wives have been more in the news than the Lombardi-winning offensive duo. First, it was Brady’s ex, Gisele Bündchen, making an incredible comeback to the fashion industry. Now, it’s time to divert the attention to Gronk’s longtime girlfriend Camille Kostek, who set an esteem benchmark in her professional field this year.
Like Gisele Bündchen, Camille Kostek is also making her mark in the world of glamour and fashion. Once a cheerleader for the famed New England Patriots NFL franchise, Kostek’s career reached new heights when she got associated with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. This year, she continued her dominance as she made her way into the sweltering 2023 Swimsuit issue.

Hailing from Connecticut, Camille Kostek received her first shot at greatness when she participated in SI Swimsuit’s first open casting call, ultimately co-winning the 2018 Swim Search. She followed it up the next year as she became the 2019 SI Swimsuit Cover star. There has been no looking back ever since. Gronkowski’s partner made her sixth consecutive SI franchise appearance this year. Kostek was photographed by James Macari at Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic.
Kostek and the rest of the models donned the Barbie wear because of the hype and anticipation surrounding the upcoming Greta Gerwig-directed film. “The swimsuits were sexy and playful while exuding tons of powerful feminine energy. Think lots of hot pink. Bold patterns and strong silhouettes, suitable for the iconic doll herself,” SI Swimsuit’s official website said.

It wasn’t Kostek’s SI cover story that shocked fans
While Camille Kostek had her cover story moment in 2019 along with gymnast Simone Biles, this year had the spot reserved for a special candidate. The 2023 SI Swimsuit cover star was none other than 81-year-old television personality and Snoop Dogg’s BFF, Martha Stewart.
Another star to receive cover honors was Hollywood actor Megan Fox. ‘Top-Chef’ host and best-selling author Padma Lakshmi also made her SI Swimsuit debut in this year’s issue. When it comes to previous magazine issues, SI Swimsuit featured racer Danica Patrick in 2008 and 2009.
