Rob Gronkowski was using Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding to help his former NFL teammate get a chance at love.
Gronkowski was among the 1,000 guests who attended Swift and Kelce's star-studded wedding last month. The couple got married on July 3 at Madison Square Garden. The four-time Super Bowl champion went to the wedding with his longtime girlfriend Camille Kostek but was looking to set up his former New England Patriots teammate, Julian Edelman.
“Julian Edelman was the third wheel, so we were kind of looking for some girls for him,” Gronkowski shared during a Thursday, Aug. 13 appearance on the "3rd Hour of Today." “He was like, ‘Oh, who’s that? Is she single?’ I’m like, ‘Go for it, Julian.’ Camille and I were trying to play matchmaker.”
While Gronk failed his mission to set up Edelman, he has high hopes for his former teammate.
“No luck, but Julian doesn’t need any luck. The guy, he’s a beautiful looking kid."
In the past, Edelman dated Jaqui Rice -- Jerry Rice's daughter -- in childhood; he then had a relationship with model Ella Rose, with whom they share their daughter Lily. The NFL star's daughter was born in 2016, and they also broke up that year.
Edelman dated Victoria's Secret's Adriana Lima from 2016 to 2017.
What Rob Gronkowski said about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding
Gronk praised the DJs for getting the vibes going for Kelce and Swift's big day.
“The dance floor energy was top notch and the wedding was top notch as well," Gronk said. "You couldn’t have painted a better picture of how the whole wedding went down, there’s no doubt about that.”
“Everyone was on the floor,” he said. “There was DJs, magicians was going.”
Alongside Edelman and Gronk, the couple also had other celebrity guests like Selena Gomez, Brad Pitt, Tom Brady, Gigi Hadid, and Tom Hanks.
Kelce is currently in training camp as he heads into the new season, he shared his first thoughts on the "crazy" night of his wedding, adding that it was filled with “a lot of celebration.”
“It was a fun offseason, man,” Kelce told reporters during Chiefs training camp on Aug. 12. “Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us.”
