Rob Gronkowski reveals that Baby Gronk situation is now making him feel uncomfortable
A few weeks ago, the internet was introduced to Madden San Miguel, a 10-year-old boy who identifies himself as Baby Gronk. He gained attention through a collaboration with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, and as a result, he now has over 327,000 followers on Instagram.
At first, Gronkowski saw this as a joke. However, San Miguel’s father has made things increasingly uncomfortable for the former player by persistently seeking a collaboration between the four-time Super Bowl champion and his son.
“My brother told me — I was like ‘Yo, did you see Baby Gronk yet?’ He goes, ‘Did I see him? His dad f–kin’ hit me up 500 times already,'” Gronkowski said during an appearance on Will Compton and Taylor Lewan’s podcast. “He goes ‘Don’t do anything with him. The dad is so annoying.’ … It’s to the point where it’s awkward. It’s too far.”
