Who is Rob Gronkowski’s girlfriend Camille Kostek? Model recalls “energy was off” between her and other NFL wives over unmarried state

Rob Gronkowski’s long-time beau, Camille Kostek, opened up about being treated quite unexpectedly when the athlete was playing for the New England Patriots. Kostek is a Sports Illustrated model, actress, and entrepreneur. Also, she hosted Dancing with Myself, according to The Harry Walker Agency.

The 33-year-old model looked back on meeting other WAGs during her partner's games on the June 18 episode of Kristin Cavallari's Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, Us Weekly reported.

Curious Kristin asked her guest,

"When everyone found out that you were dating Rob, the other WAGs, how did they treat you?"

In response to her question, Camille Kostek revealed that the "energy was off." She explained,

"I felt like I was seen as a lesser than girlfriend because I didn’t have a ring on my finger."

Recalling those experiences, she further continued,

"But you want to know what’s so interesting about that? The woman that’s coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she’s divorced."

Camille Kostek recalled her breakup with Rob Gronkowski

The lovebirds have been dating for around a decade now. They met years back but began seeing each other only in 2015. They came across each other when Kostek was cheerleading for the Patriots.

Camille Kostek and Rob Gronkowski faced obstacles in this past decade, including a breakup. Recounting their brief separation, the model added during the recent conversation,

"Rob and I met when I was 21 years old and we’ve been in each other’s lives for 10 years. First breakup was in 2017, but I think that some of the best things that changed the trajectory of my life came from this f*cking breakup that broke me but also allowed me to get in the zone. I didn’t care about dating. I felt like I was asexual."

During that phase, Camille attempted to tick off a mention from her bucket list and "decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit."

She also shared with Cavallari:

"I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy. There were so many things I was destined to want to do and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.'"

During the conversation, the host also enquired about Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady's ex-wife. On being asked how much time Camille spent with Gisele, she simply responded, saying,

"I wish it was juicy. Honestly, what’s so special about Gisele is when we would cross paths, she would embrace me and talk to me like we’ve known each other forever. I only have great things to say about her."
