Six years later and the scoreboard does not lie: In the game of love, Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski and Camille Kostek are winning.

As another NFL season officially kicks off Sept. 9, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already favored to make the playoffs thanks to a talented team led by quarterback Tom Brady.

And while teammate Gronk is no doubt excited about the upcoming season, we're guessing that his romance with Camille is the No. 1 thing putting a smile on his face.

Ever since the summer of 2015, when the NFL player and supermodel went Instagram official, fans have fallen in love with the twosome, who try to keep their romance on the down-low. 

But when Gronk is picking up Super Bowl rings or scoring winning touchdowns, Camille is the loudest cheerleader. And as Camille stars in new movies or graces the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, Gronk is left in awe.

Even if their lifestyle takes them under the Hollywood lights, it's the quiet nights in that are most special for these two.

"We cook together. He's like my little sous chef and we bake," Camille previously shared with E! News in August 2020. "We do meditating together. We do a lot of breath work and yoga stretches and I've been teaching him a lot of stuff as much as he teaches me about workouts…It has been cool."

Before the Buccaneers take on the Dallas Cowboys tonight on NBC, we're compiling some of Gronk and Camille's cutest moments for the ultimate pregame.

For The Long Run 

In May 2024, Camille shared that she and Rob have had their fair share of ups and downs in their relationship—but that it has only made them stronger. 

“Rob and I have been together for many years,” the 32-year-old, who was first linked to Rob in 2015, explained to Page Six. “We’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, and we’ve been able to break up, do our thing and get back together and heal in different ways, and learn and grow through the years.”

Be The Barbie to My Ken 

After dressing up as the iconic doll duo for Halloween 2022, the couple attended the 2023 Barbie premiere together. 

Puppy Parents

After the duo became dog parents in February 2021, their feeds became dominated with their adorable french bulldog. Camille shared a photo of their little family in July 2022, aptly captioning it, "My boys."

Shake It

A duo that fuels together, stays together. As Rob prepared to head into the 2022 playoffs, Camille shared a photo of the couple fueling up with some healthy shakes. As she wrote in a January 2022 Instagram post, "Our kind of date night celebrating another epic football season BUT it’s not over."

Greatest Teammates

When Camille Kostek celebrated the release of her new movie Free Guys in June 2021, Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski had a front-row seat to the special screening. "Summer of 2019 I was cast to play ‘Bombshell' in @freeguymovie," the actress shared on Instagram. "What made it extra special was that it was shot in Boston, a city that has grown to be like a second home for me. Last night was a private screening right here in Boston and it was beyond exciting to be back in a theater (and a dream to see myself on the big screen)." 

Loyal Cheerleader

"4th ring tings," Camille gushed on Instagram after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won big in 2021. "Another Super Bowl Ring Ceremony with this champ. I love celebrating you and this team." 

XOXO

What is it like to kiss Gronk? As Camille once shared, "Tastes like a champion."

Date Night

Fabulous trips are cool, but never underestimate a quiet, romantic dinner close to home. 

Game Over

"I look for someone that makes me feel comfortable," Camille shared with E! News in April 2020. "The support, it's just effortless like it should be. Whatever he does, whatever he wants to pursue, anything that excites him, I'm like, ‘Go for it. I got your back.' And he's the same way."

Watch Gronk and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, Sept. 9 at 5:20 p.m. PST on NBC.
