Olivia Dunne is back on TikTok as she outlines upgrading from a “college athlete” to a “pro.” The LSU gymnast, 22, made headlines earlier this year for confirming she’d be attending a fifth year at Louisiana State University, and a post uploaded to her feed yesterday outlined her journey.
Fans got more than what they expected, though. Sneaking in a mention of boyfriend Paul Skenes, Olivia wound up dedicating much of her post to the baseball player, and anyone swiping far enough saw a sweet snapshot of the couple. The above photo, shared on Olivia’s Instagram earlier this year, offered another reminder of her relationship with Paul.
Olivia Dunne Shows TikTok Her Gymnast Upgrade
“He hated that I was a college athlete,” Olivia wrote to accompany her first slide.
The image showed her stretching out her arms while on tip-toe as she balanced on one leg during a floor competition. Wearing her signature purple LSU leotard, the New Jersey native highlighted her muscular legs and toned waist, also drawing the eye to her gym-honed arms.
Going hard-hitting and covered in chalky marks in her second slide, Olivia gazed down at her gloved hands while prepping a move. “So I went pro,” she continued. The NCAA athlete, who is now the most-followed on social media, told fans that this wasn’t “about me” in a further selfie, with the closing share showing her embracing beau Skenes.
In a caption accompanied by a yellow heart emoji, Olivia wrote: “Lovaaa.”
Showcasing Her Real Gymnast Skillset
Olivia is followed by over 5 million on Instagram. In December of last year, she offered up a real reminder of her gymnast skillset, sharing this beam-set photo as she delivered a perfect side split. Flaunting her incredible flexibility and agility, the star wove the holiday season into her caption, telling fans: “Season’s greetings.”
Fans rushed to comment. “Great Beautiful photo of you my love,” one said. “That’s the money shot,” another wrote. Livvy is, indeed, bringing in more money than ever as her social media endorsements now earn her seven figures. In 2024, Olivia is signed to brands including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Vuori Clothing, Accelerator energy drinks, Aveeno skincare, and boxer Jake Paul’s new W skincare and shower range.
Olivia is followed by 8 million on TikTok. In 2023, she made her Sports Illustrated Swim debut, returning to the magazine for a second shoot earlier this year. Fans are likely waiting to see how high Olivia will climb up the celebrity ladder.
