Patriots great Rob Gronkowski slams ‘SILLY’ Robert Kraft for suggesting Taylor Swift should date him instead of Travis Kelce because he’s ‘better looking’
New england patriot great Rob Gronkowski has reacted to team owner Robert Kraft suggesting that Taylor Swift should date the tight end instead of Travis Kelce because he’s ‘better looking,’ suggesting that the comments were ‘silly’ in the first place.
The 34-year-old ‘Gronk’ – a four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pats and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – has been dating Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek since 2015 and despite the couple remaining unmarried since then, the five-time selectee isn’t falling out of love with his longtime girlfriend anytime soon.
‘Kraft is always being silly,’ Gronkowski said of the 82-year-old, business executive, who has owned the Patriots since 1994, on the latest episode of MassLive’s ‘Eye on Foxborough’ podcast. ‘He’s always being silly.
But I’m very happy to be with my girl, Camille. She’s a sweetheart. She was actually a Patriots cheerleader. We go down in history. But Mr. Kraft always has a job. And he’s always got silly jokes out there too. So that’s just Mr. Kraft for you.’
‘And I appreciate his comments,’ he further pointed out. ‘You know, commenting on my looks, saying I’m very good looking because I will say Travis is a dime piece. He’s a 10 out of 10. So if he says I’m better looking than Travis Kelce, then hey, I’m like a 10.2.’
Last month, Kraft was filmed talking to fans about Swift having her first show at Gilette Stadium – home of the Patriots. While discussing her success as an artist who won 14 Grammy awards in the last 14 years, Kraft pitched that Swift should be dating a different tight end than the starting one on the Chiefs.
‘Her first stadium concert was on my birthday in 2010, June 5th. We convinced her and her family that she could sell out a stadium,’ Kraft recalled at Topps Hobby Rip Night in West Palm Beach. ‘When she came to view the Chiefs play the Patriots this year at Gillette, I gave her a framed ticket from that concert.
