It's no secret that Rob Gronkowski is one desirable dude (He plays professional football! He has a smokin' hot bod! He even looks sexy when he chugs beer!), but despite surely having a handful of attractive admirers, it may take some time before the New England Patriots tight end is ready to settle down. 

Earlier this week, the rumor mill was in full swing with reports suggesting the 25-year-old NFL stud is dating host-actress-model Marisa Hunter after the pair recently hosted an event together, leading tabloids to speculate that the two are an item. 

Well, apparently, Gronk got wind of the false reports, which he quickly took to Twitter to shut down, alerting all the ladies that he is indeed a single man. 

About 15 minutes later, Hunter also tweeted about the fabricated claims, attempting to make light of the scenario. 

Gronkowski's single status is wonderful news, not just for all of you hopeful suitors, because it means he's officially eligable to the next Bachelor (trust us, this is a great idea).

In fact, the football hottie already has some dating-show experience under his belt—he previously appeared on the episode of The Choice back in 2012, a short-lived series which aimed to help the "world's most eligible celebrities find love." 

According to reports, one contestant labeled Gronk a "frat boy."
