Olivia Dunne was under fire after meeting baby Gronk
Apart from her recent photo with Jefferson, Dunne's connection to the NFL extends to baby Gronk.
Baby Gronk, whose real name is Madden San Miguel, was the talk of the town a few days ago. Of course, a meeting with Olivia Dunne only highlighted him more. Dunne not only met with Baby Gronk but also invited him to attend the university.
The exchange took place when Madden San Miguel was on the LSU campus.
"Hey are you that kid from the internet," Dunne asks.
As Madden responds with his name, Dunne ultimately asks him to come play for their college as well. Fans, on their end, weren't too happy with the invitation. They asked LSU and Dunne to at least wait untill Baby Gronk is 18 to invite him.
