"Dream chasers in this house," she wrote, adding a red heart emoji alongside a portion of Gronkowski’s retirement post.
Now that Gronkowski’s schedule has cleared up, Kostek hopes for a summer vacation with her boyfriend.

I have family there; that’s where my mom grew up. He’s never been the years that we have been together. I hope that will be our tropical getaway … do it the local way."
