Swimsuit model Camille Kostek and Rob Gronkowski kept their relationship under wraps for a few years before going public.

Rob Gronkowski, a former NFL tight end, and swimsuit model Camille Kostek have been dating for a number of years. However, when the former New England Patriots cheerleader pursued the renowned tight end, she violated NFL regulations.

Kostek was first linked to Gronkowski in 2015. They previously met in 2013 when the pinup was a cheerleader, and Gronkowski was in his third season with the team.

NFL cheerleaders are not allowed to date the players.

“There is that rule where [you] cannot date the players,” Kostek told Fox News Digital. “I broke that one, but I kept it a secret for a little while. It was worth it in the end.”

Kostek then revealed the secret behind their lasting romance.

“We read our calendars to each other,” she chuckled. “We don’t spend every waking moment together, so it’s exciting for us to get on the phone. It’s a common thing weekly to get on the phone together when we’re in different states and put out our calendars.”

“It was my sister’s wedding in St. Thomas, and we had our calendars together. We were down on the beach, and I said, ‘I have the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. It’s a big one, it’s the Legends issue. So, I’m going to be in New York for the first half of the week and then the second half of the week in Miami. And he’s like, ‘Perfect, I have a podcast to record in New York. I’ll be there for your event.’ And I’m like, ‘Perfect.’”

“It’s exciting when we can line up our schedules,” Kostek said. “We have our press week, but then we squeeze in a dinner together or even just a bagel together on a park bench and make it a romantic movie, even if it’s 30 minutes. But I think that’s what keeps it alive; we both are just so supportive of each other, whether we’re afar or together.”

“We get so excited even just going to a charity event,” she continued. “We did a gala recently where we both dressed up. We looked at each other, and we were like, ‘When was the last time we got dressed up together?’ And he was like, ‘I guess this is a date.’ And I said, ‘It’s a date.’

“We always look forward to our schedules [matching]. Whenever we both find time in our schedule where we have a week off, we book a trip. We’re thinking about going to Greece later in July. Now we’re just so excited about that. It will be our romantic time. In the meantime, we’re having fun being a dog mom and dad and being on the go.”

After entering a contest to be featured in the renowned Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Kostek made her debut in the magazine in 2019. During their quest in 2018, Kostek was chosen from over 5,000 other models, and the rest is history.

Gronkowski and Kostek attended Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition 60th anniversary party a few weeks ago. She posted pictures from the evening to Instagram.

Camille Kostek, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, recently shared that she and Rob Gronkowski briefly separated but then got back together.

“Rob and I have been together for many years,” the 32-year-old, who was first linked to Rob in 2015, explained to Page Six May 14. “We’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, and we’ve been able to break up, do our thing and get back together and heal in different ways, and learn and grow through the years.”

Kostek started dating the former New England Patriots tight end when she was just 21 and is thrilled they haven’t tied the knot yet.

“If we were to be married sooner, it would have been over by now,” she added. “But we’ve been able to do our thing individually.”

She and Rob will eventually be married, but she isn’t in a rush or ready to share too many specifics just yet.

“It will be a surprise and a special day,” she said of any potential wedding, before adding that she’s “very happy now.”

Even though she and Rob have had some rough times, they seem to be happy together right now. They frequently exchange online notes and control each other’s social media feeds, after all.
