Rob Gronkowski’s name needs no introduction in NFL circles. The five-time Pro Bowler spent nine seasons dominating secondaries with the New England Patriots before briefly retiring in 2019.
He didn’t stay on the sideline long. In April 2020, he came out of retirement and reunited with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, winning his fourth Super Bowl ring (Super Bowl LV) before retiring again in 2022.
In Nov. 2025, he officially signed a one-day contract with the Patriots to retire as a “Patriot for life”. In his 11 seasons, he posted 9,286 receiving yards, 621 receptions, and 92 receiving touchdowns.

Gronkowski, now 36, remains a fixture at Fox Sports as a studio analyst on FOX NFL Sunday. For now, he stays in the broadcast booth, breaking down plays instead of making them, while his longtime girlfriend, model Camille Kostek, continues to make headlines with her glam.

There was a comeback chatter briefly made the rounds earlier this year. In February 2025, reports surfaced that Gronk was training for an NFL return and had eyes on the Denver Broncos, allegedly intrigued by the team’s progress under Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport shut that down quickly with two words: “Nope. Nonsense.”
While Gronkowski holds down the Fox desk, Camille Kostek has been running her own route. The 34-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit legend has appeared in every SI Swimsuit edition since co-winning the inaugural Swim Search in 2018. She recently took her signature cold-weather drip to the snowy mountains in Park City, Utah.
Kostek shared a series of photos from her wintry mountain trip on Instagram. She stepped out in a plush, statement fur coat, layered over form-fitting denim, with a white T-shirt beneath. She captioned the post with emojis only,adding,“❄️ 🐆 🎈”
Watching her stunning look, the comment section didn’t stay quiet for long.
NFL fans can’t get enough of Camille Kostek’s mountain look
Fans flooded the comments with the kind of energy usually reserved for game-winning drives.
One fan wrote, “Looks stunning. Faux fur Apples never disappoints.”
Another one added, “Obsessed with this coat & you 🤩.”
A third noted, “Gorgeous gorgeous girlie 🦋.” A fourth backed that up with “Gorgeous girl.”
The fourth IG user added a lighter touch, penning, “So cutie !!”
The couple’s off-field story is just as notable. Gronkowski and Kostek met in 2013 at a Patriots “Thanksgiving in a Basket” charity event. Gronkowski famously wrote his phone number and the word “Shhh” on the back of his own “Hi, My Name is Rob” sticker, then had teammate Jermaine Wiggins pass it to her.

Because the Patriots had strict rules against cheerleaders dating players, they kept the relationship secret for nearly two years. They didn’t go “Instagram official” until Sep. 2015, after Kostek left the squad. Their first public appearance followed in July 2016 at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards.
