From bidding adieu to gymnastics to enjoying quality time with Paul Skenes Olivia Dunne shares best moments of the year

As the 2025 year nears its conclusion, Olivia Dunne shared highlights of her memorable moments with fans. Dunne's notable moment of the year was in April, when she announced her retirement from the sport, concluding her collegiate career as well.

She shared a few glimpses of her gymnastics routine from competitions while representing the LSU team. Since her retirement from the sport, the former gymnast was seen prioritizing her time with her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, who won the 2025 National League Cy Young Award. Dunne was present with her beau while the winner was announced. The former LSU gymnast also accompanied Skenes at the All-Star Red Carpet Show.

Although she retired from the sport, Dunne did not fail to leave her mark on social media. The social media star appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine for the second time. She also grabbed her fans' attention after walking the Miami week Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in a polka dot monokini and zebra print bikini, the highlights of which she shared in the carousel.

Olivia Dunne reveals the reason for working in the NIL realm

Olivia Dunne once opened up about balancing work and college. In an interview with swimsuit.si.com, she opened up about fighting for equal NIL opportunities for women athletes. She emphasized that, as both female and male athletes work hard, they should both receive fair opportunities.

“I just want to show other girls that they can have it all — they can be a savvy businesswoman, they can capitalize on their NIL while still in college,” Dunne said. “Being at the forefront of NIL while still at LSU and while only being 20 years old, I hope that it shows other girls that they can do it, too. The collectives mostly go to men’s sports here at LSU, and I just want to fight for equal NIL opportunities. Women’s sports deserve the same publicity — we put in equal work, equal time in our facilities, and in school."

Olivia Dunne also established the Livvy Fund, which helps female collegiate athletes to explore lucrative NIL deals.
