The upcoming Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is making waves with some unexpected names. When SI released a sneak peek, the internet went wild. And why not? NFL icons Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are involved in the 2025 edition. Yes, really.
On Friday, SI Swimsuit dropped its New York Launch Week trailer on Instagram with the caption, “NYC Launch Week unlocked… You didn’t think we’d keep things quiet, did you?” And here’s the twist—Rob Gronkowski’s girlfriend, Camille Kostek, and Tom Brady’s rumored love interest, Brooks Nader, teamed up for the shoot. It feels like a nod to the iconic Rob-and-Brady duo, just in a whole new way. So, what’s this photoshoot really about? Let’s take a closer look.
The full 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is set to drop later this spring, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. Recently, Sports Illustrated has been teasing sneak peeks of this year’s featured models. Olivia Dunne—the standout LSU gymnast and social media star—is making her return. Earlier this week, the magazine released a stunning shot of Dunne, now in her final year at LSU, rocking a leopard-print bikini. The New Jersey native looked incredible, and SI is thrilled to have her back.
Camille Kostek is also returning, and her friendship with Brooks Nader is as strong as ever. The two are quickly becoming the ultimate duo—reminiscent of Rob and Tom Brady in their heyday.
Remember their iconic looks in the 2023 SI Swimsuit style guide? That year, double-layer bikinis were the trend, thanks to Brooks and Camille’s shoots in the Dominican Republic. Both models wore the same style as the L.A.-based swimwear brand SAME, though in different colors. Nader went bold with a pink and blue combo, while Kostek chose a solid blue underwire top paired with a pinstripe halter neck. A perfect twinning moment—and just another example of their effortlessly synced style.
Meanwhile, as Brady’s attention seemed to shift back toward Brooks, his ex-wife was busy planning a wedding of her own. Wild times, indeed.
Gisele Bündchen’s journey: Planning for her ‘Forever’
Things are starting to feel a lot like wedding bells in Gisele-land—whether that’s Miami, Costa Rica, or wherever she happens to be glowing these days. According to Life & Style, Gisele Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu partner, Joaquim Valente, aren’t just doing well—they’ve reportedly welcomed a baby boy and are now gearing up for a wedding.
Yes, the real deal. Think vows, a white dress, and maybe even a barefoot beach ceremony. Even sweeter? Gisele and Brady’s 12-year-old daughter, Vivian, is helping with the planning.

“They’re planning a wedding, and Vivian is excited to help,” a source shared, adding that both kids—Vivian and Benjamin—are fully embracing their new baby brother and warming up to Valente as part of the family. It seems Gisele has traded Sunday night stress for peaceful sunrise moments—and she’s loving it.
“He’s so different… much more chill and laid-back,” the insider said, comparing Valente’s energy to Brady’s famously intense vibe. “Gisele says life with him is a lot more peaceful.” Translation: no more 4:30 a.m. TB12 wake-up calls—just zen mornings and calm energy.
But don’t think TB12 is sulking while Gisele writes this new chapter. With a $375 million deal at Fox Sports and a stake in the Raiders, the 47-year-old former quarterback is thriving in his media career. And when it comes to co-parenting, insiders say it’s all about love and respect between the exes.
A source told Page Six that Gisele holds no grudges: “They’re doing a great job co-parenting, and she hopes he finds happiness too.” And maybe he found that with Brooks Nader. In the Brady-Bündchen post-divorce world, they’re not focused on who won—they’re focused on who found love.
Looks like they both have. Honestly, all fans want is to see Brady happy again.
