Who Is Baby Gronk?
The man (or boy) in question, Baby Gronk, is a 10-year-old football star whose real name is Madden San Miguel. Despite his nickname, Baby Gronk is not related to famous NFL player Rob Gronkowski.

Dunne is an NCAA gymnast at Louisiana State University (LSU). Her following consists of women who liken her to a girlboss and men who have become enthralled with her content, which is sometimes described as thirst traps.
No matter, her following has spiraled her into influencer status and has recently led to her collab video with Baby Gronk. The collab video in question was posted to Baby Gronk's Instagram as a Reel back in March, eventually leading to the hilarious video that has inspired the recent memes.

What Does 'Rizz' Mean?
For those who aren't aware, the word "rizz" is the latest slang term to achive widespread usage and mainstream acclaim. The word was first used on Twitch en masse at the beginning of last year, often used in the phrase "unspoken rizz."
The word "rizz" is short for "charisma," isolating the middle syllable of the word. It's used to describe how a person is able to attract a potential date, usually without trying, as in, "unspoken."
The word's usage has led to many meme trends, the most viral of which are the Rizz Nicknames that TikToker @h00pify seemed to utilize to a nauseating degree in his "Baby Gronk" video.
