Sealed with a split. Olivia “Livvy” Dunne showed off her gymnastics prowess Saturday during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show at the W South Beach in Miami, where she capped off


her walk with a split at the end of the runway. The former LSU gymnast and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model rocked a sultry one-piece with cutouts for one turn down the runway and


switched things up to a white crop top and animal-print bottoms for the other. The 22-year-old Dunne made her cover debut for the iconic publication this spring, which she called a dream


come true. EXPLORE MORE “That is crazy,” Dunne said upon learning she landed the cover. ” I am a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model… Are you kidding me?” Dunne, who made her Sports


Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2023, appears on one of the four covers for this year’s edition, including Lauren Chan, Salma Hayek and Jordan Chiles. In a behind-the-scenes video from her


Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot shared in May, Dunne revealed she was grappling with a knee injury at the time. “Fun fact, I was shooting on a fractured kneecap, so poses like this and the


cover shot kind of hurt, but it was honestly so worth it,” she said in the Instagram clip. Dunne confirmed in March that she had been “dealing with an avulsion fracture of my patella,”


which sidelined her from participating on the floor of LSU’s senior night festivities. “It absolutely breaks my heart to not get the opportunity to compete in the PMAC one last time. Tiger


fans, you’ve been so good to me! Thank you for the endless support and as always Geaux Tigers! – Liv,” she wrote on social media at the time. Dunne, a national championship-winning gymnast


with the Tigers, bid an official farewell to the sport she’s loved all her life in April. “Gymnastics, you have filled my heart and will always be a part of me,” she shared in a heartfelt


Instagram video. “You shaped me into the person I am today.” Dunne has given her 13 million fans across Instagram and TikTok intimate looks at her highs and lows over the years, including


troublesome moments with supporters. In a TikTok video shared over the weekend, Dunne detailed how autograph-seekers have tracked her down at airports and fears she is “being stalked.” “They


know time, place, airport, everything!!! Stay safe,” she captioned the video. As Dunne’s star has continued to rise, fans have paid particular attention to her personal life. She and


Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes have been together for more than a year, with the ex-LSU baseball star confirming the relationship in the summer of 2023.
