Secrets Behind Camille Kostek's Stunning Beach Body

Camille Kostek is a very successful model and cover star. She's best known for her work with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Kostek has also modeled for Victoria's Secret, L'oreal, and Kittenish. She's recently started a hosting career and has appeared on Wipeout and Dancing With Myself. She recently shared a new swimsuit photo. "Surprise!! my edit with @laporteswim is out now ? while we drop this curated capsule with your new fav summer swim… we've been working since the start of the year on my personal designs with the team!!!! ….. whoops sorry @jodavenportcalica I can't keep it a secret anymore!!! ???

She Eats Enough Protein

Kostek makes sure to get enough protein in her diet. She shared her secrets for doing so with E! News. "I've never been someone who counts calories. I've been a very intuitive eater for years and I noticed the difference when I was not meeting my protein goals. For me, I'm so happy to be working with Optimum Nutrition. You can imagine being with Rob [Gronkowski] and working out with him that protein is a big thing in this house. He's always on me about meeting my protein goals."

She Makes Her Own Food

Kostek likes to make a lot of her meals. She shared one of her favorite recipes with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. "I love my lunch to be bake-free whenever possible. I like cooking at night but in the middle of the day, when I am very hungry, I like to have recipes that I can whip up quickly and are healthy. My go-to no-bake recipe would have to be a can of garbanzo beans strained and washed mixed with tomato, bell peppers, feta, cucumbers and avocado, topped with olive oil, Himalayan salt, cracked pepper and a dash of lemon juice."

She Believes In Balance

Kostek eats a balanced diet. She talked about this on her Instagram stories. "It's always been my goal to eat as clean as possible as much as possible. Making meals/snacks/drinks with ingredients I know and understand. When I'm out to eat, this is much harder/or on the road at airports/on sets, etc., and I allow myself to eat unhealthy when I'm in a mood to and enjoy it."

Kostek shared some of her wellness secrets with E! News. She says that she makes sure that the goals she sets are things she knows she can do. "I just want to set attainable goals and I like sharing that with people who may be looking for a little bit of inspiration. When I was setting goals last year, I wanted to do something that I knew I wouldn't give up on and it was doing things that actually give me joy. I've never been a cold turkey kind of person, but that's totally fine for anyone who is. For me, I'm all about the baby steps. If you let yourself down, pick yourself up, and keep going. I say to start with the little things like breathing deep."

She Stays Hydrated

Kostek shared her typical diet in an interview with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. In it, she shared how she makes sure to stay hydrated. "I like to stay as hydrated as possible so on top of drinking liters of water throughout the day I like to eat bowls of watermelon whenever I have a meal or am looking for a snack. It's a great way to fill me up while hydrating my body and keeping my skin nice and hydrated."

Camille Kostek looks so good in a bikini

Camille Kostek looks like she’s touched down in the tropics after watching the Super Bowl.

"You know who you are, be with your person and just find your peace.”

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit celebrations continued for Camille Kostek

The models hit the catwalk for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s runway show as part of Miami Swim Week, where they sported an array of swimwear, including one-pieces and two-piece sets.

The runway show took place just weeks after Kostek, who is the significant other of NFL stars Rob Gronkowski, unveiled their stunning photo shoots from this year’s edition of the iconic magazine.

Camille Kostek, who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2019, was photographed for 2022 in St. Croix, a locale that holds a special place in her heart.

“Shooting in St. Croix this year for the destination is like my world’s colliding because my mom’s actually from the [US] Virgin Islands and my mom’s sister Camille, who I’m named after, still lives out in the Virgin Islands,” Kostek told in June.

For the shoot itself, Kostek posed aboard a boat — which wasn’t without challenges.

SI Swimsuit model Camille Kostek returns for upcoming issue

The 29-year-old is gearing up to appear in the upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, which is expected to drop this summer. The former Patriots cheerleader was the co-winner of the first SI Swimsuit Model Search in 2018 alongside Haley Kalil.

Talking about how she trains for the magazine she told. “I'm very happy that I got into the modeling industry now, because before when I was younger, I think when it came time for a photoshoot, I would really pay attention to what I was eating, and work out even harder that week. Now, it's become such a lifestyle.

I eat clean all the time, and I am taking a walk, or on a run, or doing workout bands wherever I am in a hotel room, or training at my at-home gym.

I really don't do anything different when it comes time to shoot for SI. It's become a lifestyle, it's become a routine, and you really get last-minute notice before the shoots, so thank goodness that I'm always prepared. Because I think that I found out just a couple of weeks before I knew I was going to shoot for my fourth year.

I'm just very blessed that I have figured out a way to enjoy a healthy lifestyle just about every day. That doesn't mean there are no cheat days, but I can't say it's really anything different.

SI Swimsuit model Haley Kalil says people are shocked by her science degree

The Minnesota native made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2018 after participating in the franchise’s first-ever open casting call. She was named the co-winner alongside Camille Kostek. This year, she’s back for the upcoming issue which is slated to drop sometime this summer.

Before Kalil made her modeling debut, she was already making a splash in the science world. She graduated summa cum laude from St. Cloud State University with a 4.0 in biomedical sciences and psychology with a minor in chemistry. The 28-year-old also published award-winning immunological research and worked with numerous local science programs to encourage young women to pursue STEM fields. Now, she’s launching The Nerd Herd, an organization that aims to empower women to love their bodies while pursuing STEM studies.

Kalil spoke about appearing in SI Swimsuit for the fourth time, the moment she nearly gave up her career, and how she deals with stereotypes.

“Honestly, I still can’t believe it. It seems like just yesterday that I was making a video for them in hopes that I’ll ever be considered. I never dreamed that I would be shooting my fourth spread for them. It’s mind-blowing. I’m honestly honored.

I’m honored because this is how I got my start in modeling. Swim Search was my first access to the modeling world. And it has allowed me to inspire so many other women to celebrate their bodies. And I’m repping all the ginger nerds out there *laughs*. But really, representation is everything. It’s one of the real reasons I wanted to be a part of Sports Illustrated because they were one of the first major fashion publications where I saw a redhead for the first time. And I thought, "Wow, everyone teases me at school for being a redhead. Here’s this model who’s beautiful and also a redhead." I felt I could be beautiful, too.

So for me, it’s all about being that representation for someone else. I hope someone can look at me and go, "I see myself in her." That’s really my ultimate goal with every single year that I shoot with SI.”

Katie Austin slipping on one of her mom icon Denise Austin old swimwear to show off her own toned figure

Denise revealed that Katie is a finalist in the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swim Search competition, which means that she could appear in the pages of the magazine's star-making swimsuit issue.

Denise Austin is a fitness instructor and former gymnast who rose to fame in the late '80s. She appeared in a large number of aerobics videos, as well as the long-running fitness series Getting Fit, Denise Austin's Daily Workout, and Fit & Lite . She continues to share exercise and diet advice and her daughter has followed in her footsteps. However, Katie is helping people get healthy in a more modern way by making a name for herself as a fitness promoter.

Denise shared side-by-side photos of herself and her daughter rocking the same white leotard with a zipper front and high-cut legs, which are currently very on-trend. The health guru revealed that the garment was 20 years old.

In her Sports Illustrated Swim Search profile, Katie revealed that 2019 cover model Camille Kostek inspired her to audition for the competition for the second time. She also said that one of her favorite recent SI Swim covers was from the same year as Camille's first. Soccer star Alex Morgan appeared on her own separate cover, and Katie found it encouraging and inspiring to see a female athlete celebrated in such a way.

Katie stated that she isn't changing her fitness routine or eating habits ahead of her photoshoot. Instead, she has decided to focus more on mentally preparing for the shoot by practicing "self-love and self-care."

"I want to focus on staying positive and confident," she said.

While talking about what her Swim Search experience has been like so far, Katie revealed that she has become close with her fellow finalists. She described the group as supportive of one another, and she said that it feels like she has gained "a whole new group of friends."

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Camille Kostek admitted it’s not always easy being in the spotlight

“It’s easy to get spiraled into our phones, the computer screens and read these comments about yourself in the comment sections of photos or articles,” the cover girl told Fox News. “And definitely in the modeling world, it’s heightened. The trolls come through even more. It can be super hard. You could have 900 people telling you that you look incredible, that you’re an inspiration. But you could have two people telling you something negative about your body or personality and that will bother you.”

“I just think that as much as we say sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me — words do hurt,” continued the 27-year-old. “Hurtful words hurt people… [But] people who don’t know you also don’t define you. We already understand what like and what we don’t like about our bodies. We are already hard on ourselves. We don’t need people to try to tell us who we are.”

Kostek insisted that like anyone else, she has her own insecurities. But rather than responding to negative comments, she prefers to use her social media for a good cause, in hopes it will uplift someone who could use some much-needed encouragement.

“I always seek the time to talk to people who are reaching out for help because sometimes you just need that one person to tell you everything is going to be OK,” said Kostek. “And I like to share some of the things that I deal with… to remind people that I hear them too.”

Before Camille Kostek was named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s newest cover girl, she struggled to be accepted as a model

“In February of 2017, I was still not represented,” the 27-year-old told Ocean Drive for their September 2019 issue. “An agency in LA asked me how I would feel about gaining weight because the plus-size initiative was flourishing. It felt like defeat. But I am a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifesting," she said.

She continued: “That March, I was on Instagram and SI posted their first-ever open casting call. It said, ‘Are you the next Chrissy Teigen? The next Kate Upton? Then submit a 60-minute video telling us why.’ I was like, ‘Screw the agencies, I’m doing this myself.”

But the cover girl admitted she didn’t always feel so confident about her curves. In fact, Kostek told Ocean Drive it was difficult to find someone she could easily identify with.

“Growing up, it was hard to associate with some of the women who were being portrayed in the media,” she explained. “I was a girl with freckles and grew into a young woman a little bit more quickly, with hips and thighs. It wasn’t until I picked up an issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit at 15 where I was like, ‘Whoa! If I ever were to be a model, this is what I would want to do.’”

“Looking at the women, I was like, ’She’s got freckles, she’s got hips, she’s got thighs. Her boobs look natural,’” Kostek continued. “That always stuck with me. When I finished school in 2015, I started going to open calls in New York. But I was getting the same response every time: ‘Get your measurements down.’ ’Take X inches off your thighs and hips.’”

In May of this year, Sports Illustrated named Kostek as one of its coveted models for its swimsuit edition. Kostek joined Tyra Banks, 45, and soccer star Alex Morgan, 29.

Golden Barbie Jasmine Sanders won Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's Rookie of the Year Award

Model Jasmine Sanders has graced the pages of high-fashion magazines like Vogue and CR Fashion Book, and now she’s adding Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year to her resumé.

After being in the 2019 SI Swim Issue that debuted in May, the model, who goes by Golden Barbie on social media, has won the Rookie of the Year Award.

Each year, the Rookie is chosen based on a combination of popular vote, editor’s choice and history as an SI Swimsuit brand ambassador. This year’s rookie class featured an amazing group of empowering women including Camille Kostek, Haley Kalil, Halima Aden, Kelsey Merritt, Olivia Brower, Tara Lynn and Winnie Harlow.

Last November, Sanders joined the SI Swim family, and was quick to share her excitement.

“I’m so excited to be part of the Sports Illustrated family!” the model sharedat the time of her initiation into the rookie class. “I love that they celebrate all types of women with different body types from different backgrounds. I can’t wait to be along side such icons as Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Irina Shayk, Chrissy Teigen, and Ashley Graham, just to name a few.”

Prior to joining SI’s rookie class, Sanders has walked the runways of designers like Moschino and Ralph Lauren and she even branched into the beauty world, making an appearance in Kylie Jenner’s “Glosses” video.

Camille Kostek said she’s grateful to have someone to cheer her on during one of the most important moments of her career

In May of this year, Sports Illustrated announced the former Patriots cheerleader is one of their coveted cover models for its annual swimsuit edition. The 27-year-old joined Tyra Banks, 45, and soccer star Alex Morgan, 30.

After it was revealed the Connecticut native would grace one of three covers, the newly retired tight end gushed about her beaming moment on Instagram.

“Congrats baby on the cover!! camille kostek sports illustrated,” Gronkowski, 30, posted to his Instagram story, as Kostek walked on to the “Good Morning America” set with Banks.

“Yes, my boyfriend is Gronkowski, but it would feel good to have support from any guy I’d be dating,” Kostek told Fox News. “There’s no point in being a relationship if the two of you don’t support one another.”

“I think the timing is so interesting,” she continued. “Just a couple of months before I got the cover, Rob retired. And we both didn’t know that this was going to come. But it’s definitely cool for me to have him here to celebrate and see a little bit of what my life is like and the people that I work with. I introduced him to some of the other models, my friends within the industry and editor MJ Day. It just feels good. A relationship always feels good when you have your man supporting you.”

“Rob has been one of my biggest motivators,” Kostek explained. “I constantly see the work he takes on, both on the field and off. He’s definitely someone I admire. I see the goals that he sets and I’m constantly trying to set greater goals myself. I don’t know if I’ll ever catch up to his legacy, but it’s definitely something that keeps me going.”

As for whether Kostek or Gronkowski would ever return to the sports field, Kostek teased anything is possible.

Model Kari Miller will leave Miami and head to South Africa, to start a whole new path

If there was ever a thing as “living your dream life”, Barbadian model Kari Miller believes that she’s well on her way to living hers.

Since leaving Barbados at 22 in pursuit of a modelling career, the now 27-year-old beauty has been making tremendous strides in her chosen career.

Recently, she was able to rub shoulders with some big names in the model industry when she competed in a swimsuit competition for Sports Illustrated magazine.

“I was in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Competition in Miami, Florida. I was chosen for the Top 60 from over 900 women to make it through to the next round of the contest. Unfortunately, I didn’t make the Top 17 to walk in the fashion show for swim week or a chance for the magazine this year. But I was given a crazy opportunity to interact with models like Winnie Harlow, Jasmine Sanders, SI Swimsuit cover model Camille Kostek and got to shoot with someone I’ve wanted to shoot with for a really long time, Yutsai. Honestly, it was my best day for Miami Swim week this year.

"The energy and vibes in the room was so pure and so beautiful; just to be around, interact with and learn from people you’ve only envisioned yourself with was amazing while being able to tell them about my beautiful island,” Kari recalled.

Even though she didn’t make it to the Top 17 of that competition, she is still making strides in other areas.

In a few weeks, Kari will leave Miami and head to South Africa, to start a whole new path.

“I am currently preparing for my move to Cape Town, South Africa, where I will be meeting my new agency Topco Models and spending a few months developing my model book and career. I do not have any specific projects I am working on right now.

"I am more trying to set up my life for what 2020 is bringing for me. I will be working on a few projects in the future to help specifically our people, children and our environment,” Kari said.

Baton Rouge native Brooks Nader officially won the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 Model Search.

The magazine revealed on Wednesday the pinup will appear in the 2020 issue as its handpicked “rookie.” She joins the ranks of fellow model search winners Camille Kostek, Haley Kalil, Anne De Paula and Mia Kang.

Back in May of this year, Nader attended the “SI Swimsuit on Location” event in Miami where she described how her life has changed since appearing on the magazine.

“For me, it’s everything,” Nader revealed at the venue’s red carpet affair. “I’ve always dreamt of it. It’s like a childhood dream of mine. I entered through Model Search, so I did the open call in Miami a year ago and now I’m here. So, the process and the journey for me is everything, because it was a long one.”

Nader insisted she would recommend any girl to take a chance to rock a skimpy swimsuit for the coveted magazine.

“Go for it,” she shared. “Do it. Be yourself. Own it. I mean, editor MJ Day and all the editors are just as nervous to meet you guys. Like, they want to see you. They want to see the real you. You want to be authentic. Show your flaws… MJ loves that. And it’s just such a special thing to be a part of this brand.”

The outlet also revealed Nader easily stands out from the pack. The pinup is described as someone who is obsessed with eating jalapenos from the jar and talented in peeling two pounds of crawfish in under 10 minutes, among other unique talents.

Looking back, Nader admitted she was stunned when the magazine’s editor called her with the exciting news about appearing in this year’s issue.

Nader also told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that she hopes the opportunity will help her define what it means to be a model in today’s fashion industry.

“I want to inspire and encourage young women like my three little sisters to embrace and own who they are and go for it all in life,” Nader continued. “SI inspires us and gives us all permission to own our bodies and our personalities and gifts to let them shine before the watching world.”

Samantha Hoopes reveals the hate from some fans after her pregnancy news

Samantha Hoopes is back for her sixth Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot but she has plenty of other reasons to celebrate these days.

The 28-year-old model is expecting her first child with fiancé Salvatore Palella. She also bonded with new SI Swimsuit cover girl Camille Kostek and is happily meeting fans both men and women.

Hoopes, along with 31 other pinups, recently headed to Miami for “SI Swimsuit on Location,” a two-day ticketed exhibition that gave fans the opportunity to explore one-of-a-kind installations and photo experiences, among others.

Hoopes spoke to Fox News about the shocking reaction she received from followers after her pregnancy announcement, her relationship with fans and embracing her curves.

“I block all the trolls on social media. I just don’t have time for hate or negativity in my life. If I type something out of anger, I just end up in a text fight and what good is that going to do? I just block and move on. It’s not worth it. You can’t fight fire with fire.

But this time it’s super interesting because I have people going into my DMs saying their goodbyes to me or that they’re leaving me forever because I’m pregnant. This one kid wrote, “Wow, I followed you since I was 15 and now I’m 20. You’re pregnant now and I just wanted to say goodbye.” Alright, goodbye, I don’t need you in my life anyway. But I am getting messages where it sounds like I’m dying or something because I’m pregnant. One wrote “It’s been fun these past five years. Goodbye.” But again, you don’t need those type of people in your life.”

“Pregnancy is so beautiful. You’re creating a baby. You’re creating a life. You’re creating the next generation. We have the capability to do that and I'm just in awe of it all. Yes, I’m getting cellulite that I didn’t have before, but this is a beautiful moment in my life. And my bump has become my biggest accessory. I love showing off my bump in tight clothes because it’s so cute.” She told

Ex Miss Universe Olivia Culpo says before her shoot she practiced in the mirror, had 10 poses ready and did a test shoot on her I Phone

Sports Illustrated announced in October 2018 that the former Miss Universe would be gracing the publication’s annual swimsuit issue for the second time.

Culpo’s rookie issue in 2017, titled In Her Own Words, showed the model wearing nothing but paint as a way to take ownership of the insecurities she felt stifled her before the shoot. This will reportedly be Culpo’s first time rocking bikini looks for the magazine, which she admitted she was nervous about.

SI reports that Culpo shared with People in January 2018 that she enlisted the help of Hannah Ferguson for her first rookie shoot and it gave her the confidence to do a second.

“I asked Hannah what I should do. She said, ‘practice in the mirror, practice all of your poses, have 10 poses ready, know your angles,’ and I did exactly that and it helped,” Olivia shared with People.

“I actually did a test shoot on my iPhone with someone that I work with. We looked insane. We were on the beach with the iPhone doing a test shoot. People were just staring at us.”

The influencer will be joined by models Danielle Herrington, Lindsey Vonn, and Kate Bock for the publication’s annual spread. The Inquisitr previously shared that model-turned-mogul Tyra Banks will appear on the issue’s cover, which will be her first swimsuit cover since retiring from modeling in the mid-2000s. Model Camille Kostek and soccer star Alex Morgan will also grace the cover the outlet’s annual swimsuit edition.

Sports Illustrated named its coveted cover models for its swimsuit edition.

The lucky models gracing its cover in 2019 are Camille Kostek, 27, Tyra Banks, 45, and soccer star Alex Morgan, 29.

The three women that make up the covers of the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue represent the brand in the most powerful way possible. While each individual woman is so unique, they come together cohesively to tell a spectacular story,'" the magazine announced on Instagram.

This isn't the first time the former "America's Next Top Model" host has graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Banks first appeared on its cover in 1996 and returned again in 1997.

Tyra Banks is the epitome of what we hope for all the women who are a part of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit," editor MJ Day said on the magazine's website.

Camille Kostek told Fox News she’s always envisioned herself as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and believed the magazine offers an empowering message for women.

“If I didn’t think I could be here, I wouldn’t do it, I just want to send the best message possible to women, It’s been such a refreshing, exciting time for me to model and be represented by a company that embraces women of every shape and size. That’s exactly what I stand for as a woman.”

The magazine also shared on its Twitter account a video of its third cover model, Alex Morgan, being surprised with the news that she made the final cut. "This picture just shows me how strong I am and how hard I've worked not necessarily to show off my body in any way, but I work every single day to compete on the highest stage in my sport and this just shows all the training and discipline and commitment and sacrifice."

Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek wrote the Sweetest Message to Rob Gronkowski

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Camille Kostek and Rob Gronkowski are the ultimate couple.

After the New England Patriots tight end announced his retirement on Sunday, Camille took to Instagram to post an incredibly heartfelt message to her boo.

“You motivate me to be better, you show me that limits can be pushed and that challenges make you stronger. If you ask me, you’re the best to ever do it,” Camille wrote.

“There is nothing like the thrill of watching you play. I love you with all my heart, you allow me to take the term ‘proud girlfriend’ to a new level. For all the people that have come up to us to tell you they are your biggest fan, I quietly smile because I know I’m yours and I will continue to root you on in all that you do.”

And that loving support goes both ways. After Camille earned a spot in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2019 rookie class, Gronk was there to help his girl train for her big shoot on Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Camille Kostek says the vicious comments she received after posting these images really hurt her

The model and dancer initially ignored the haters, but eventually she returned to social media to share some of the more vicious comments and reveal just how much they hurt her.

She thought she looked good in the image and we have to agree. But the body-shaming trolls of the internet world did not.

Camille was compared to a giraffe, a hippo, told she needed to hit the gym and find a good doctor. One commenter simply called her gross. Another referred to her as a 'wide load'.

She was accused of being an attention-seeker and told to get over herself when she announced the cruel barbs hurt. But she fought back saying she would not let this kind of bullying bring her down, at least not for long.

“I would never and have never [before] picked up the phone and filmed myself crying, but I’m very happy that I have it because I’m able to look back on it and reflect and see how upset I was that these comments rattled me to the point that I was so hysterical. But I’m also able to look at that and see myself in so much pain, and realise that that was just a small moment in time and by people that I don’t give af about.”
