Olivia Dunne is living it up in New York. The former LSU gymnast and girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes shared new snaps from Bridgehampton, giving fans a peek at her poolside getaway.
In one story, Dunne posed in a bright blue bikini, flashing a relaxed smile under the sun. The next story showed her friend Lily Chee floating calmly in the pool, soaking in the late-summer vibes. Dunne tagged the location Bridgehampton, New York, in the story as well.
Dunne has been keeping busy since stepping away from gymnastics earlier this year. She’s leaned fully into her influencer career, mixing fashion, lifestyle, and behind-the-scenes moments for her 5.4 million followers on Instagram.
Of course, her relationship with Skenes has also kept her in the spotlight. The Pirates star has quickly become one of MLB’s biggest young names, and together, the couple often turns heads at games, public events, and social media.
Still, Dunne makes it clear she’s carving her own path online, building one of the most recognizable personal brands in sports and lifestyle media. She became an SI Swimsuit model in 2023, marking a major accomplishment in her career.
Since then, Dunne has built her brand, steadily growing into a major influencer. However, the journey hasn’t been all glamorous, as she has had to face some brutal online trolling, name-calling, and hatred from many.
Olivia Dunne on Her Struggles of Being Content Creator
During an appearance on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story” podcast in July, Olivia Dunne talked about the unnecessary criticism people throw her way. Some tend to forget that before her social media influencer identity, Dunne was an athlete.
A 2024 NCAA gymnastics gold medalist, Dunne has trained hard to make a name for herself in this discipline. As an athlete, she trained her body, which aided her gymnastics pursuits. However, she ended up being trolled for the same.
“I did have a very big male audience at the beginning of my college career,” she said. “And that was hard. It was hard to feel like people were watching me, judging me. I’ve definitely have had some problems with some body issues.” (34:48)
“When I first started posting, men were like, ‘I do not like those muscles.’ They were calling me a linebacker, they were calling me a football player,” she added.
Because of the relentless criticism, Dunne admitted that she had body image issues. Getting over the hatred and accepting that the opinions were coming from faceless trolls wasn’t an easy move, but Dunne managed to do it. Now, she seems less bothered by what people have to say about her as she continues to enjoy life.
