Although his mother prefers to remain out of the limelight, his father, Jake has been instrumental in his rise to fame on social media. Behind the scenes of Miguel's online pages is his older brother, who works in marketing. In an interview with The Athletic, his dad explained his job.

“Man, I'm in the marketing business, and I can't reveal too much about it for fear of giving it away. A brand it is. An uprising. Yes, I am capable of doing all of that. I take care of everything.”

He said that his extensive network contributes to his son's success.

“I am well-connected. Friends of mine played football in the NFL. Some of my friends are Power 5 coaches. People who played on my high school team in the past. Many of the people I know manage the company's social media accounts.”

While his son's dream of playing in the NFL is, according to Jake, he hopes to give him a leg up financially by allowing him to earn money during the interview. Jake explained,

“He is the kind of child you would be proud to have in your home, despite what you might see on the internet. He's the one. It appears like a show every time we do anything. It is not the truth. The internet and my real life are not mutually exclusive.”
“My son is not divine or in any way superior to any of these other children, in my opinion. He aspirations to join the NFL. Yet, the NFL is unusual. Making it is challenging. So, I intend to help him gain a following and a platform so that he can start saving right away.”

Baby Gronk and his dad during the 'Bring the Juice' podcast

While appearing on a podcast in June 2023, Baby Gronk dutifully repeated his father's instructions in response to questions. The football player's father told him to answer yes when the host asked if he would accompany Olivia Dunne to prom. “I already DM’ed her, and she said yes.”

In an interview with The Athletic, San Miguel outlined his desired marketing endgame. The father said:

“We intend for every action we take with our content. There is a strategy for everything. Simply being an influencer and creator. He maintains a wall of separation between his training and his life on the internet. He excels in five different sports and is technically quite talented, especially on the football field. His baseball skills are far superior to his football ones, which is something not many people know. He is a very modest young man. Academically gifted.”

Baby Gronk, Madden San Miguel's real name, has become extremely popular online lately. Even his famous father, Jake San Miguel, has become famous recently. Will Compton, a podcaster and former NFL player, recently received criticism from the father.

Compton accused the father of being a "con artist" about his kid. San Miguel responded to Compton's accusation on social media, claiming that Compton lacks the necessary understanding of his or his son's lifestyle to make an informed judgment:

"He eats good, but he does eat burgers and everything else, and pizza. You just don't see how we live. It's not about sports, it's not about football, it does not last forever. You do content, you get paid off the internet. That's all we're doing. It's a new day, it's a new generation."
"Do you see how these kids are nowadays, on their iPads on their phones all day? He is a kid, but at the same time, he does a little workout. We're not outside no more because we can't trust nobody, no more. So, the kids aren't just running around outside and playing."

In the end, San Miguel said:

"It's not the old days, so we do a workout. He eats healthy, he doesn't eat processed foods, the foods that can give you cancer, that's pretty smart I would think."

Baby Gronk's dad promotes his son's accomplishments online. As his son attended colleges around the US, Jake often took advantage of the spotlight on him to guide him. After receiving his father's support, Gronk should have no trouble achieving his goals.
