Livvy Dunne was a USA junior national-team gymnast whose "classmate" was her dog — homeschooled from 7th grade for training — and when the ankle bone died ("my Olympic dreams died with it"), she took the LSU full ride, the NIL rule changed after her freshman year, and everything after that is the era named after her: SI Swimsuit cover, WME, a Baywatch role, and a formal objection to the House v. NCAA settlement, argued in her own words before a federal judge.
New Jersey, gymnastics from age three because she climbed everything, national team as a junior, monthly weeks at the Olympic Training Center.
The exit from the elite track has two tellings she gives — the dead ankle bone at 2018 US Championships, and her own choice at ~16 to stay healthy and keep the LSU ride — both hers, kept side by side. At LSU the NIL rule flipped after freshman year: "my whole entire life like was so different after that."
What followed: the Livvy Fund, her NIL collective funding LSU women athletes, run with her mom and sister; SI Swimsuit rookie in 2023, the 2025 cover shot in Bermuda on a fractured kneecap, a fourth issue in 2026; Passes as her paid platform — a deal whose community rules explicitly bar adult content; retirement in spring 2025; and an acting debut in Fox's Baywatch reboot. She still wakes at 7 a.m. panicking about missed weights. Boyfriend: Paul Skenes, Pirates ace — "let's go Paul" before every pitch.
Save her to your account and we’ll let you know when she adds a platform.
