Perhaps there was some extra motivation behind Rob Gronkowski's performance when he scored three touchdowns in the Patriots' season-opener last Thursday.
The New England tight end's girlfriend, ex-cheerleader Camille Kostek, was in attendance to watch her man and the Patriots dispatch the Steelers 28-21 at Gillette Stadium last week in Massachusetts, according to the New York Post.

Gronkowski, 26, and Kostek, 23, have been romantically linked since April, and it looks like the relationship is still strong heading into the new football season. Gronkowski had a whirlwind of a summer in celebration of the Patriots Super Bowl victory, his first ever title as an NFL star.
It appears the couple survived the three-time Pro Bowler's party cruises and busy summer of television appearances and book tours to still stand strong today.

"You can tell they are really enjoy being with each other," a friend of the pair told People magazine. "They both have a great sense of humor and feed off each other really well."
Kostek has chronicled a lot of the couple's dates on Instagram, including a dinner the two shared on Friday, a day after New England's season-opening win. The former cheerleader snapped a picture she captioned as "Friday night date night" while sitting on the lap of the hulking tight end.
With Kostek looking on, the Super Bowl XLIX champion had a game to remember against the Steelers. Playing alongside Tom Brady after the quarterback got his four-game Deflategate ban overturned, Gronkowski had five receptions for 94 yards and reached the end zone three times.
Off the field, the relationship is blooming, at least if Instagram is any indication.
