- Dunne addressed the controversy on the Full Send Podcast earlier.
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne is an American gymnast who is a current member of the LSU Tigers women’s gymnastics team. The former USA national member has a strong social media following of around 4.9 million on Instagram. Her on-the-mat abilities, her good looks, and her strong social media following have helped her become a strong American public figure at the young age of 21.
The famous New Jersey native is coming back from a huge controversy in 2023 when she was linked with Madden San Miguel also known as Baby Gronk. Dunne was criticized for a video in March 2023, where she met the 11-year-old rising football star Baby Gronk.
Olivia Dunne exposes Baby Gronk on Full Send Podcast
The meeting was criticized within the American sports community for inappropriate behavior from Olivia Dunne with Gronk who is 10 years younger than her. The American gymnast waited two months to reveal the full details of the incident on her appearance during the Full Send Podcast in June 2023.
Dunne talked on the podcast about how she was caught off-guard when she saw her name trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. Fans and other users were talking about how the gymnast was ‘rizzed up by Baby Gronk‘ after she met the Gronk for the first time outside the gym of Louisiana State University.
Dunne added to dismiss the claim and clear the air surrounding the story. She revealed how her teammate told her to meet Gronk outside the gym. Dunne obliged and met the 11-year-old outside the gym, where he was waiting for her with his dad.
Dunne added that Gronk’s dad told her to make the video, which involved hugging and everything else. She further pointed out in her conversation how it is easier to shoot and present something in a certain way. It can easily be planned behind the scenes.

It was clear from the conversation that Dunne blamed Gronk’s dad for the angle of the video which went viral for all the wrong reasons. The 11-year-old and his father have often been criticized for irregular behavior on social media for the sake of going viral. The case with Olivia “Livvy” Dunne looks like another one of their social media debacles.

The meeting was again negative among TikTok users, who are confused as to why Dunne continues to entertain the controversial 11-year-old even after their past news reports. Gronk also attracted some negative attention for teasing Paul Skenes, boyfriend of Olivia Dunne, in an Instagram post at the event.
The two big social media stars continue to attract engagements with each other’s names, which can be seen as a win-win for both parties. It is hard to say how long the Baby Gronk can milk the name of Olivia Dunne for views for his social media followers.
