They say never meet your heroes. But when Madden San Miguel a.k.a. Baby Gronk got the chance to meet viral LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, he snatched it up like the last pail of water in a scorching desert. It all began in March 2023, when Baby Gronk visited Olivia Dunne at Louisiana State University. The 20-year-old Dunne showed the 10-year-old Baby Gronk around, and he posted a photo of the encounter on his Instagram.

And what is expected to happen after you post a picture with the most followed NCAA athlete on social media? One has the potential to go viral, and so he did. In fact, Baby Gronk was so impressed by LSU, and probably Olivia Dunne, that he made a promise. He was going to join LSU, or at least it came in his Top 3 list. Now, after the LSU athlete and the young football player have been making rounds on the internet, Dunne’s fans are reminiscing about a viral Tik Tok she posted back in February.

Anything the world-famous gymnast touches seems to turn to gold, including Baby Gronk. After all, Dunne has dedicated fans all over the world, especially in America, a fact which is evident in her 7.6 million followers on Tik Tok and 4.2 million followers on Instagram. Remember when she decided to do a ‘boyfriend reveal’ on Tik Tok? The video managed to garner 10 million views and nearly 1 million likes.

The video was captioned with, “he?s just a little shy I swear #foryou #bf.”?The reason? Olivia Dunne was seen dancing alone in the video, with no boyfriend in sight. This is the video that her fans have been recalling after her meeting with Baby Gronk. Baby Gronk, who has been nicknamed after retired NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, currently has more than 300,000 followers on Instagram, a result of some calculated moves by his father. Gronk has been regularly ‘marketed’ by his father, Jake San Miguel.

Gronk’s father has made no qualms about creating a brand around his son and ensuring he becomes a popular football player in the future. With the way things are going right now, he might just meet his goal. Jake also said, “A lot of people don’t know this about him, but he is a better baseball player than football player. He’s a really humble kid. Straight-A student.”
