Camille Veronica Kostek (February 19, 1992) was born in Killingworth, Connecticut to Alan Kostek, a contractor, and Christina (née Decosta), a gym manager. She was a former National Football League (NFL) cheerleader for the New England Patriots (2013-14) before coming to prominence for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and gaining international recognition after landing a solo cover with the magazine in 2019.
Kostek majored in Communications at Eastern Connecticut State University. In 2018, Connecticut Magazine included her in the “40 Under 40” list of influential people. She was first included in Maxim’s Hot 100 list of Sexiest Women in the World in 2019
Trained as a dancer, she often posts videos of herself on social media spontaneously dancing in places outside a dance studio. Her trademarked phrase #NeverNotDancing caught on and inspired others to do the same.
