Livvy Dunne gives rare update on post-LSU plans in revealing video: ‘Life is sweet as cinnamon’
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne shared a lot of changes in her life since announcing her gymnastics retirement last month.
The former LSU gymnast revealed Tuesday on her TikTok that she completed her first semester of grad school and purchased an apartment in New York City.
“First semester grad school done, house hunting at the beach, bought a nyc apt, and walking to get a piña colada life is sweet like cinnamon,” Dunne, 22, wrote, including a video of her modeling a leopard-print bikini while walking along the beach.
“Quick lil life update,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model captioned her post.
Dunne, who is a native of New Jersey, did not elaborate further.
The influencer announced her plans for grad school in December, but did not say where she was enrolled at the time.
Dunne is studying technology management, she told GQ last month in a joint interview with her boyfriend, All-Star Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.
She majored in interdisciplinary studies for undergrad.
She added that she could see herself putting down roots in Florida, the same state where her grandparents live.
Dunne became an internet sensation during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which she began posting videos of herself doing gymnastics on the beach while visiting her grandparents in Florida.
She became one of the faces of the name, image, and likeness (NIL) era when the NCAA rules changed, and is the highest-earning female college athlete in history.
Dunne has made an estimated $9.5 million since the NIL rule change went into effect in 2021.
After winning an NCAA title with LSU in 2023, Dunne returned for her fifth year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dunne announced her gymnastics retirement last month following LSU’s loss in the NCAA championships.
The Tigers finished third in the NCAA semifinals, missing out on a third straight national championship appearance.
Dunne previously told The Post she wanted to focus on her brand after leaving LSU.
“I feel like [Sports Illustrated] is something that can last beyond college,” said Dunne, who made her debut in the 2023 edition.
“I think that’s important, creating a substantial brand that will last post-college. And [SI Swim] is one of those, I don’t even want to call it a partnership, because they’re like family to me. That’s been amazing.”
Beyond her modeling, Dunne explained she wants to teach the next generation of female college athletes how to capitalize on their NIL.
“So I definitely want to do something [in NIL] overall, after I’m done at LSU,” she said. “And hopefully expand beyond LSU and help educate people and just help girls out. … I’ve always loved sports. So definitely something in the sports realm.”
Dunne has supported the reigning NL Rookie of the Year, Skenes, who was drafted by the Pirates and got a $9.2 million signing bonus, at some of his games.
