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.
