Olivia Dunne continues to enjoy her Spring Break at her collegiate home in Baton Rouge just a day before the final regular-season meet of her career as a student-athlete.
Dunne was spotted out and about town with her mother, Kat, who posted a snap of her daughter at BLDG 5 Market + Kitchen + Patio just south of downtown in the Louisiana state capitol.
Instead of traveling to some far-flung locale, Dunne has spent her week off sticking around Louisiana State University – seen lounging around the pool and generally relaxing as she starts to wind down her college career.
Last Friday, she tied her career-high score of 9.900 on the leadoff floor exercise for LSU Gymnastics, who overall set a new school record with their 198.125 score to beat Texas Woman’s University.
She has one more ‘regular-season’ meet against the University of North Carolina on Friday – before the SEC Championships in New Orleans next Saturday and then the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Tournament in April.

Dunne said she was ‘defrosting’ in the Louisiana sunshine in her Instagram caption
The LSU gymnast, 21, raised eyebrows – and risked being kicked off the social media site – last week when she posted a selfie on her story, with what appeared to be her nipple poking out of her top.
Dunne sailed close to the wind with the now-deleted snap to her five-million followers, amid Meta‘s strict no-nudity policy, and it is unclear whether there will be any repurcusions further down the line.
For now, though, it appears to be business as usual for the social media star, as she shared some new photos on Sunday of herself wearing a tiny brown bikini.
Alongside the captions ‘defrosting’ and ‘Spring Break in BR [Baton Rouge, Louisiana], Livvy posed for a series of photos in the bikini, with the sun shining down.
Dunne’s star, both in and away from the sport, continues to rise, after she became a social media star in 2023.
Last month, she posted photographs of herself on Instagram in front of a giant billboard of herself in New York’s Times Square, joking: ‘I think I know that girl from somewhere.’
Dunne also previously shared how much she can be paid for sponsored posts on Instagram – disclosing that her biggest payday was in excess of half a million dollars.

Dunne will return for the 2024 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue – her second consecutive appearance in the iconic annual edition
She told the Full Send podcast last July: ‘I usually don’t ever talk about money, but… I would say, six figures. It’s just crazy to me.’
Former US national gymnast Dunne began to grow her following online after joining TikTok in 2020 to share videos of her gymnastics practice.
She is now estimated to be worth $3.3million thanks to her NIL (name, image and likeness) deals with brands like Nautica and American Eagle.
Last year, she became a Sports Illustrated ‘rookie’, appearing in the magazine’s iconic swimsuit edition, which she will return for in the 2024 issue.

And she became an internet meme when she met 10-year-old American football player and social media star Madden San Miguel, better known as Baby Gronk.
Content creator Henry De Tolla, known as h00pify online, shared a video of Dunne meeting the promising young player, proclaiming that ‘Livvy rizzed him up’ in order to convince him to commit to LSU for college.
‘Rizz’ – meaning to charm someone, from ‘charisma’ – was later named word of the year by Oxford University Press. Dunne herself acknowledged the news, sharing an article about it on her Instagram.
