Rob Gronkowski | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are Super Bowl champions again, but not with their former team, the New England Patriots!

The former Patriots stars are now playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they won Super Bowl LV on Sunday night (February 7) at their home stadium in Tampa, Fla.

The Patriots reacted to the Buccaneers’ win right after the game ended.

“Congratulations to the greatest of all time,” the team tweeted. They added, “And Gronk, be careful with that trophy…”

You might remember that Gronkowski accidentally dented the Lombardi trophy back in 2019 while practicing his batting stance with the trophy. The incident happened during the Red Sox’s opening day in 2019.

Rob Gronkowski has been dating his girlfriend Camille Kostek for years, and we’re getting to know her a little better as he prepares to play in the 2021 Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 28-year-old model met Rob when they were both stationed in the New England area. She was a cheerleader for the New England Patriots and Rob was their star tight end. It’s unclear exactly when their relationship started, but they’ve been linked consistently ever since around 2015. The first photos we have of the couple together are from back in 2016.

After Camille left the Patriots cheerleaders, she modeled for Sports Illustrated, Victoria’s Secret, L’Oreal, New Balance and more. She has a large social media following on Instagram, with over 800,000 followers. She also made Maxim‘s Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women in the World in 2019.

In an interview last year, they sat down for an interview together and were asked if it’s taboo to sleep together before a big game.

“Well, then night before games, he would have curfew,” Camille said. “So he didn’t get to sleep there.”

“Sometimes we did it, sometimes no,” Rob added. When asked if he thought it impacted his play in the game, he said, “No, I don’t think so.”

Camille chimed in, “If anything, I feel like if we have hooked up before a game, he would be more loose and ready to go, less tense.”

Rob Gronkowski‘s girlfriend, model Camille Kostek, is speaking out about how they first met when she was a New England Patriots cheerleader and he was their star tight end. They’ve been linked for years but have never publicly told the story of how they first started dating!

“It was November, 2013 and we were at a Goodwill event. It was right before Thanksgiving. So we were filling turkey baskets for families who are less fortunate. And yeah so Rob [Gronkowski] and I, you know, I feel like with dating apps these days and people sliding in the DMS and stuff, I’m so happy that like, with my love story, we met in person at a charity event. I feel like it’s very rare these days to meet at the library and the grocery store or wherever else, especially in this COVID world where you can even see half your face out. So I feel like it’s made dating a lot harder,” Camille, 28, said on SiriusXM’s This Is Happening with Mark Zito and Ryan Sampson.

Rob wrote his phone number down and had a teammate give it to her at the event. At the time, Camille was a cheerleader for the Patriots, and was worried she’d be breaking a rule by pursuing anything with a player.

“I was like, ‘Oh no, no, no, I can’t take this. I can’t take his number.’ And then he was like, ‘just take it,’ and I was like, ‘okay,’ and I put it in my pocket. And I, I never spoke about it again. I didn’t make it locker room talk. I never spoke about it. You know, some of my captains now are probably like, ‘girl, what?’ So, and then I just, I sat on it for a couple of days and then I FaceTimed him,” Camille explained.

She expressed she was worried this was some sort of trap to get her in trouble for contacting a player. When she called him for the first time, she thought it might be a fellow cheerleader getting her in trouble! However, it was obviously Rob.

“And I was like, ‘hello.’ And he was like, ‘who is this? You called me.’ And I was like, ‘um who’s this?’ And I could tell it was his voice. And he like peeked his head over. And he had just gotten back from a Texans game. So he had like a suit on and everything. And he was like, ‘hello?’ And I was like, ‘it’s Camille.’ And he was like beaming. ‘He was like, Oh my God, I never thought you’d call me.’ And then little did we know 2021 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I’m here as his girlfriend almost eight years later. It’s kind of crazy,” Camille said.

She was then asked if there might be an engagement ring in their future! She responded, “I’m hoping that he’s smart enough to ask my friends or my sisters [for ring advice]. For me right now we’re focusing on the big [Super Bowl] ring.”

The couple once revealed if they hook up before his games or not!

Rob Gronkowski gets a hug from his mom Diane during his interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Turns out that Diane is the biggest reason that he came out of NFL retirement to join Tom Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccanneers.

“Of course, it didn’t hurt that Tom went to Tampa and the opportunity was there to go to Tampa,” Rob shared during his interview. “Tom was like the appetizer, and there were a few other reasons – I love the weather.”

He added that the “main reason I came down to Tampa was because my mother lives two hours away.”

“She can get to all eight of my home games. Whenever I have days off, she’s two hours down the street and I get to see her. She’s super excited,” Rob added just seconds before the hug came.

If you recall, Rob followed Tom to the team shortly after the latter was traded.

Later on in the show, Rob participated in an at-home obstacles in a game called “What Can’t Gronk Do!?” After completing the tasks, he raised $10,000 for the Gronk Nation Youth Foundation.

Rob Gronkowski is opening up about returning to the NFL after a year off.

During a call with press, the football player revealed that he’ll miss not playing for New England Patriots anymore, but is looking forward to Tampa Bay.

“I’m very thankful for the 9 years I had with the New England Patriots,” Rob shared. “I’ve learned so much under that organization…I’m not going to sit here and say its an easy organization to play for.”

He continued, “I know that the NE Patriots, hands down, it is not the easiest place to play but it gets you right. It gets you mentally right, it gets you physically right … but I’m definitely going to take what I’ve learned … and apply it to my daily life, big time.”

Rob also opened up about heading to Tampa Bay with Tom Brady.

“Tom is like the appetizer of the whole meal. He got me hooked when he went down to Tampa.”

“Playing with Tom is special,” he shared. “We have a great chemistry out there and every time we get together, its just like the old days. It doesn’t matter if we take a month off or 6 months apart, we just go out there and we’re throwing the ball just like its a normal practice.”

“I saw what was down there. Just the opportunity to go down there and play with that type of offense. I mean they got some special wide receivers out there, they got other great tight end and let me tell you, I love working with tight ends too so I’m definitely looking forward to that, working with [OJ Howard and Cameron Brate]. That’s definitely going to be a special opportunity. Just blessed to be in this situation.”

The news that Rob was returning and heading to Tampa Bay broke over the weekend.

Rob Gronkowski is reportedly returning to the NFL after a year of retirement from the Patriots.

However, when he returns, it probably won’t be with that team.

ESPN is reporting that Rob told the Patriots, who he was still under contract with at the time of his retirement, that he wanted back in, but also wanted to reunite with Tom Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The deal worked out says that the Patriots are trading both Rob and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers. In return, New England will get a fourth-round pick from Tampa.

Tom officially signed to Tampa Bay in March.
