Rob Gronkowski’s girlfriend Camille Kostek recently revealed that the couple skipped this year’s Super Bowl because Gronkowski had a critical role in a FanDuel commercial that aired during the game.
The sports betting company had promised to give away $10 million in free bets to those who had money on the game if Gronkowski could kick a field goal from the 25-yard line. Gronkowski had to shoot the commercial during the game, which overlapped with the Big Game, causing him and Kostek to miss it.
Kostek revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the filming of the commercial was a source of stress for the couple. Gronkowski had expressed concern about failing the kick and letting his fans down. He emphasized that he hadn’t kicked a football in years, and the experience was more nerve-racking than playing in a Super Bowl game. However, even though he missed the kick, FanDuel still gave away $10 million in free bets.
Gronkowski, a four-time Super Bowl winner, admitted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month that his infamous partying made him a better football player. He said that partying and doing crazy things with friends made him a better player on the field.
He demonstrated to Fallon how he would carry his friends on his back, lift them, curl them, and dance while holding them up. He believes that the movements and gyrations he made while partying translated to the football field.
It seems that Gronkowski’s success in the NFL and his partying habits have made him a popular figure. Kostek also revealed that her boyfriend has a strong social media following, with many fans eagerly waiting for updates from him. It is clear that Gronkowski’s participation in the Super Bowl LVII commercial was a critical moment, one that forced him to miss the Big Game.
However, it also showcased his personality and his willingness to take on new challenges, regardless of the risks.
