Olivia Dunne is a former national champion gymnast at LSU, where she became the most followed and highest-paid female NCAA athlete. She announced her retirement from her sport in April 2025 with a heartfelt video on social media, shifting her focus to modeling, brand partnerships, content creation and acting. Known for her athletic talent and charismatic content, Dunne has become a leading figure in the NIL space.
While she no longer competes on the mat, Dunne remains dedicated to assisting her fellow athletes through The Livvy Fund—an initiative she founded in 2023 to help connect female LSU student athletes with brands to secure their own partnerships, earning her recognition on Forbes’s 30 Under 30 and Top Creators lists. She’s also been featured by Forbes, TIME100, GQ, ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar and Maxim. Most recently, Dunne announced she’d been cast in a recurring role on the upcoming FOX reboot of Baywatch, alongside fellow SI Swimsuit star Brooks Nader.
Dunne made her debut with SI Swimsuit back in 2023 with a rookie feature in Puerto Rico. She returned for a second shoot in Portugal, and in 2025, she was featured as one of four cover stars with her beautiful Bermuda feature. Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, was the next stop for Dunne, reuniting with the brand in 2026 for her fourth and most recent shoot.
