Gronkowski Swings By CT Christmas Tree Farm

KILLINGWORTH, CT — Former New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski made a stop at a Christmas tree farm in Killingworth over the weekend with his girlfriend Camille Kostek. The couple went to Winterberry Farm Sunday.

Winterberry Farm posted on their Facebook page: "Camille Kostek and her family have been loyal Winterberry Farm customers for years and this year Camille’s boyfriend, Rob Gronkowski, joined in on the family tradition. Thanks for being such good sports! Merry Christmas."

Kostek, 27, is a Killingworth native and former Patriots cheerleader who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue earlier this year. She's a Haddam-Killingworth High School graduate where she was a lacrosse team captain before she went on to Eastern Connecticut State University.

She posted a photo of the Christmas tree farm on Instagram: "family tradition with my favorite addition this year."

Gronkowski is a three-time Super Bowl champion who retired in March following a series of injuries. He was recently rumored to be returning to the Patriots this season, but the deadline for the team to bring him back passed on Nov. 30.

Since retirement, Gronkowski has been busy as a representative of CBD Medic products, which he says "changed his life" and "made a huge difference in pain management." He's also hosting Gronk Beach in Miami Feb. 1, described as his "personal music festival," and appeared as an NFL analyst on FOX.
