Kostek and Gronkowski hunkered down in Malibu in March 2020. During the pandemic, the pair spent a lot of time dancing together and creating videos. "The pandemic actually is when I started creating and I had so much fun with it," Kostek told E! News in May 2022. She said she didn't always want Gronkowski around while she was dancing, but sometimes welcomed it. "Sometimes I was like, 'Get out of here. I don't want you to learn this one,' but if he caught me at the right time, I would teach him," she added. "Ultimately it'd be really fun and it's like a smile. It's contagious. You see someone having fun and then you want to do the dance."
Kostek later turned her passion for dance into a show called "Dancing With Myself," which aired in May 2022. It features regular people competing in dance challenges for a cash prize.
