Rob Gronkowski Bro Bails On Gronk Cruise ... Over Zika Virus
The Gronk cruise will be ONE GRONK DOWN ... 'cause Rob's brother Dan tells TMZ Sports he has to bail on the party boat because his wife is pregnant and they can't risk getting the Zika virus.
The cruise (which leaves Friday from Miami) has been the talk of the family for months -- in fact, Dan says he and wife Brittany had timed out their pregnancy (she's not due until June) so they could both go along for the ride.
But with the Zika virus spreading to the Caribbean -- close to where the cruise will sail -- Dan and his wife have decided it's too big of a risk ... and had to tap out.
"My wife can't go because she's pregnant and I can't go because it can be transmitted [sexually]," Dan says.
FYI -- medical research suggests Zika can cause serious birth defects in unborn children.
"I'm really disappointed. I was pumped for the cruise."
As for the rest of the Gronks -- "My brothers are all down in Florida ... they've already been going nonstop!"

Rachel Dolezal My New Baby's Name Has Strong Roots
Rachel Dolezal just gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and while she's been mum on the baby daddy's identity and ethnicity ... the kid's name is kinda telling.
The infamous former NAACP leader posted a pic of her son who was born Tuesday, and said his name is Langston Attickus Dolezal. He's Rachel's third child ... she already has 2 older sons.
Now, the name. Langston is for the black poet and civil rights activist Langston Hughes -- while Attickus looks to be a nod to Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" character Atticus Finch ... a white lawyer who defended a wrongfully accused black man.
As for the stray 'k' in Attickus -- our educated guess is it's a mashup with Crispus Attucks ... a black man widely held to be first casualty of the American revolution.
Nice mix, Rachel.

Fetty Wap Ripped 'Baby Mama'... You're a Birth Control Trap Queen
Fetty Wap lit into his alleged baby mama over her stance on abortion, and insinuated she got knocked up on purpose.
As we've reported, the former 'Love & Hip Hop' star says she's 6 months pregnant with Fetty's baby. Sources close to Masika tell TMZ, the rapper's first reaction was to ask why Masika didn't terminate the pregnancy.
We're told they had an angry text exchange in which Masika told Fetty she believes abortion is murder ... and he fired back, "You obviously don't believe in condoms either."
Our sources say Masika pleaded that she'd taken the Pill, but it didn't work -- and Fetty responded by telling Masika she'd be having the baby on her own. We're told he texted, "I ain't comin round helping yu none of that I'm lettin yu no now."
Fetty sources have told us he wants DNA proof the kid is his.
