Rob Gronkowski likes to have fun and the playful side of him has always favored a rather obnoxious type of joke. Gronk’s girlfriend, former Patriots cheerleader Camille Kostek, explains that his obsession with ’69’ jokes dates all the way back to when he was a toddler.
As a guest on “Barstool Rundown” on Comedy Central Tuesday night, Kostek was asked about a story circulating that Gronk intentionally missed a free throw during a HS basketball game so that his team would finish the game with 69 points. Camille had the following to say:
Rob told me he’s been saying ’69’ since he was a little kid and I thought that was a total exaggeration. He goes, ‘Ask my mom.’ I said, ‘Fine, I’ll ask your mom.’ His mom came over, I asked his mom, and she said he’s been saying ’69’ since he was like three years old. This isn’t a new thing. This has been going on and on.
While 3 years old seems like a stretch, Gronk has been pretty open about his affinity for the number. Once, he taped the number to his practice jersey and another time he cracked himself up with a joke during a press conference. However, we didn’t know that 3-year olds could even count that high. Then again, this IS the Gronkowski household we’re speaking of.
