Rob Gronkowski Expresses Envy Over Tom Brady's Single Lifestyle
In a candid interview, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski has opened up about his envy for Tom Brady's life as a bachelor, highlighting a dramatic shift in their personal dynamics since their playing days.
From Teammates to Lifestyle Contrasts
Appearing on Today recently, Gronkowski reflected on how the tables have turned between him and the legendary quarterback. "Definitely single Tom Brady," Gronkowski said with a grin when asked which version of Brady is more fun. He elaborated, "We flipped the script. I was single when I first got into the league and Tom was married, and I was like, 'Hey, this guy's lame, he'll never go out with me.' Now he's going out every week and I'm at home with my girl."
This revelation underscores a significant change for both athletes. Gronkowski, once known as a party boy, is now in a long-term relationship with Camille Kostek, while Brady has embraced a more social lifestyle following his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bundchen in 2022.
Tom Brady's Post-Divorce Life and Romantic Links
Since his split from Bundchen, Tom Brady has been linked to several high-profile figures, sparking media speculation about his romantic life. Key points include:
- Bundchen has moved on, marrying her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in late 2024 and welcoming a baby boy in February 2025.
- Brady's past includes a relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan from 2004 to 2006, with whom he shares a son.
- Recent rumors have connected Brady to model Irina Shayk and influencer Alix Earle, with photos showing them cozying up in St. Barts in December 2025.
- Other speculated links, such as with Kim Kardashian, were dismissed by reports stating they are just friends, while names like Sofia Vergara and Brooks Nader have also surfaced.
Despite the buzz, Brady has remained focused on his family. In a statement to People magazine, he emphasized, "I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids." He has been seen socializing with celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, indicating a busy post-retirement schedule.
Successful Transitions to Life After Football
Both Brady and Gronkowski have seamlessly transitioned from their NFL careers to new ventures. Brady, after a storied 23-season career that included seven Super Bowl wins and three MVP awards, now holds a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and works as a broadcaster for Fox Sports under a lucrative 10-year contract worth $375 million US.
Gronkowski, meanwhile, has joined the Fox NFL Sunday pre-game show lineup, continuing his presence in the sports media landscape. Their professional successes mirror their evolving personal lives, with Gronkowski's comments shedding light on the camaraderie and contrasts between the two football icons.
This story highlights how even legendary athletes navigate changes in lifestyle and relationships, offering a glimpse into the human side of sports stardom beyond the field.
