Camille Kostek recently shared her thoughts on her boyfriend, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski, being roasted at The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady — the live comedy roast of Tom Brady held as part of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival.
Speaking with ET at the launch party for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit issue at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City’s Times Square, the 32-year-old model shared how she felt watching the roast.
“I was so nervous. My sister had gotten married the day before. So he literally got on a flight from the Virgin Islands to shoot over after the wedding,” she recounted. Despite her nerves, she shared in the laughter and admitted, “I was scared ’cause I knew he was nervous. And then I was excited, and then I was laughing, and then I was like, ‘Oh, that was a burn.'”
Reflecting on Gronkowski’s experience, she added, “He is still laughing to this day reminiscing on the jokes. I think I memorized the roast now. I can tell you what jokes Nikki [Glaser], Bill [Belichick], Tony [Hinchcliffe], everyone said by now.”
She noted that for Gronkowski, participating in the roast was “like a dream job for him. To just rip on all of his teammates and just be a class clown for everybody to watch.”
Kostek also opened up about the 60th anniversary of the iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit magazine, expressing her excitement and nostalgia. “It’s really special. I’m still in my reflection period of it all, like settling in. Launch week is always very exciting,” she said.
She also reminisced about the 50th-anniversary issue that inspired her to pursue a modeling career a decade ago. “It was always like a farfetched dream. But that was 10 years ago in 2014 when I was like, ‘I want to make this happen. I want to make this come to life.'”
Kostek also shared her plans for the cover she graces, humorously noting, “Right now, it’s just a beautiful coffee table book, but I think the next step is going to be to get that baby framed.”
When asked if Gronkowski had seen her photos early, she revealed that even she didn’t get early access. “I brought the magazine home at the end of press tour when I finally got my hands on a tangible copy, and he was able to flip through,” she explained.
Gronkowski’s favorite shot was a centerfold image of Kostek in a blue suit taken at night in the rain, a departure from her previous beach shoots. “He noticed, and he said that he thought it was different and special.”
Speaking with ET‘s Kevin Frazier at the roast event earlier this month, Gronkowski was asked if he would ever consider coming back from retirement, and returning to the NFL.
“No, man. The only tight end I got going for myself is right here, right in my rear end,” Gronkowski joked. “I ain’t coming back and playing. No shot, man.”
