Who is Baby Gronk and Why is He Trending?
In recent weeks, social media has been abuzz with questions about a 10-year-old football prodigy known as “Baby Gronk.” Madden San Miguel, who goes by the moniker online, first caught the attention of the internet in March when his parents uploaded a video of him meeting Louisiana State University gymnast Olivia Dunne, also known as “Livvy” to her over 7 million TikTok followers.
The buzz reached a fever pitch when TikTok user Henry De Tolla, known online as h00pify, shared a clip from the original video, adding his own commentary and sprinkling slang throughout. In the video, De Tolla claims that Livvy “rizzed up” Baby Gronk, convincing him to commit to LSU when he is of age to play college football.
Who is Livvy?
Livvy Dunne is a junior NCAA gymnast at LSU, and a social media star. She is among the highest-paid college athletes in the country, according to Sports Illustrated Lifestyle, and said to make seven figures through social media and endorsements.
What Does “Rizz” Mean?
The word “rizz” was popularized by YouTuber Kai Cenat in 2021, according to Dictionary.com. It is slang for charming or seducing another person. In De Tolla’s videos, he suggests Livvy has been deploying this charm to convince Baby Gronk to attend LSU.
Did Livvy Actually Rizz Up Baby Gronk?
It is important to note that Livvy did not flirt with or try to seduce Baby Gronk. In the original video, Livvy met Baby Gronk and simply told him that he should come to LSU when he is older. This innocent interaction has become the subject of countless memes and jokes on social media.
