Camille Kostek returns to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for fifth year with SIZZLING beach shoot

Camille Kostek is back in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for her fifth year in a row, this time sizzling inside its pages in an assault-flaunting brown bikini.

The 30-year-old dancer and girlfriend of Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was shot by photographer Derek Kettela for the issue, which hits newsstands May 19.

In a new image released on Wednesday, Camille stuns in a brown bikini bottom by Leimakani paired with a tiny, low-cut but long sleeve brown crop top.

‘Can never get enough of @camillekostek! Who’s with us?’ the magazine wrote on Instagram.

Though Camille likely posed for the magazine months ago, she was surprised to see the image posted on social media. 

‘AHHHH WHAT A SURPRISE TO SEE THIS!!!!’ she commented. 

‘I just opened up this app and it was the first thing on my timeline!!!! Seeing that logo across my photo never gets old. It gives me the chills every single time. Truly grateful to get the call back each year. 

‘I’m beaming, I love you @si_swimsuit. Happy almost launch week!!!!’ she added.

Camille is a former New England Patriots cheerleader — which is how she met Gronk in 2013.

Camille shared her swimsuit model dreams in an interview with Ocean Drive in 2019. 

‘It wasn’t until I picked up an issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit at 15 where I was like, “Whoa! If I were ever 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.” That always stuck with me. 

‘When I finished school, 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 your hips.”‘

Sports Illustrated liked her body just as it was.

‘Throughout the entire process, my body never really changed, but my outlook on my life and my body changed. My relationship with myself, my colleagues, my boyfriend… everything got better,’ she said.
