Rob Gronkowski, former NFL tight end, recently joked with his followers about a possible venture into modeling after appearing in one of his girlfriend’s Instagram reels. Gronkowski’s girlfriend, Camille Kostek, announced a couple of days back that she is teaming up with La Porte to launch her own swimsuit collection. The announcement comes at the heels of her highly successful promotion for her own photoshoot for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Gronk and Kostek have been together since 2013, although they kept their relationship pretty private for the first two years. Kostek was originally a cheerleader for the New England Patriots where Gronkowski was a tight end.
“Wait till the end. My modeling career just started!” Rob Gronkowski’s Instagram account.
