Without a doubt, experienced NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski is having a gala time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. ‘The Gronk’ came out of retirement in the summer and signed a short-term deal with Tom Brady-led Buccaneers in the offseason. There were multiple reports which claimed that Brady played a huge role in getting Gronkowski out of retirement.

The now-31-year-old has had a rather quiet comeback season with the Bucs. On 45 receptions in the regular season, Gronk had 623 receiving yards and 7 receiving touchdowns. He has 43 receiving yards in the 2020 NFL post-season but is yet to score a touchdown. However, all that can change on Sunday night as the Bucs gear up to host defending champions, Kansas City Chiefs, at the Raymond James Stadium.

How did Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek start dating?

Rob Gronkowski met Sports Illustrated supermodel Camille Kostek during his New England Patriots playing days. Although she is regarded as one of the top American models right now, Kostek started off as a professional cheerleader. After a stint with the Hartford Colonials, Camille was chosen to the Patriots cheerleading roster.

But 8 years ago, Kostek landed on the cover of the cheerleaders’ annual swimsuit calendar. She was later selected as the Patriots’ ambassador on an NFL tour in China. After two great years with New England, Kostek signed with a modeling agency in Boston in 2015.

Kostek later revealed that she only met Gronkowski after she left the Patriots. “We first got in touch once I resigned from the team. I always knew who he was before I was even a cheerleader. I knew who he was on the roster but I just never paid any mind. Once I resigned is when we finally met,” Camille told Fox News.

Camille Kostek and ‘The Gronk’ are definitely relationship goals!

Camille and Rob started dating in 2015. They had a brief split in 2017 but that was not enough to keep these two lovebirds away from each other for long. After getting back together, Kostek has been part of Gronkowski’s life, both on and off the pitch. The couple have been together for 6 years now and look to be going strong.
