Olivia “Livvy” Dunne is one of the most influential athletes of her generation — a former NCAA gymnastics star who pioneered the era of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) earnings and built a multi-million dollar brand while still competing in college. Born on October 1, 2002, in Westwood, New Jersey, and raised in Hillsdale, Dunne began training in gymnastics at the age of three and was already competing at elite levels by age eleven. Her mother homeschooled her from age 14 to allow full focus on training.

Dunne joined the U.S. Junior Women’s National Team in 2017 and represented the United States at the City of Jesolo Trophy in Italy, helping the team win gold. After a series of injuries derailed her senior elite career, she refocused on collegiate gymnastics and enrolled at Louisiana State University in 2020. At LSU, she primarily competed on the uneven bars and floor exercise, achieving career-high scores of 9.925 and 9.900 respectively. Her most celebrated athletic moment came in the 2023-24 season, when she was part of the LSU Tigers squad that captured the program’s first-ever NCAA women’s gymnastics national championship.

While her gymnastics accomplishments are impressive, Dunne’s cultural impact extends far beyond the gym. When the NCAA’s NIL rule took effect in July 2021, she was perfectly positioned as the most-followed NCAA athlete in the country, with a combined social media audience that grew to over 13 million across TikTok and Instagram. She became the first NIL athlete signed by WME Sports and quickly secured landmark deals with Vuori, American Eagle, Grubhub, BodyArmor, Nautica, and the content platform Passes, among others. She is estimated to have earned over $10 million during her college years alone, making her the highest-paid female college athlete in history.

In 2023, she launched “The Livvy Fund” in partnership with LSU’s NIL collective to create opportunities for other female student-athletes. She has appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2024. In 2025, Time magazine named her to its inaugural TIME100 Creators list as one of the 100 most influential digital voices. Off the field, she is in a relationship with Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, the top MLB draft pick of 2023. With her gymnastics career at LSU concluded, Dunne has transitioned into full-time influencer, entrepreneur, and model, continuing to expand her brand on a global scale.
