Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne continues to enjoy life after college athletics, and her latest Hawaii update reflects exactly that. Dunne retired from competitive gymnastics in 2025 after helping LSU capture its first national championship.
Dunne has been building a strong social media presence since her LSU days. Early NIL opportunities pushed her into national headlines, and she became one of the most followed college athletes in the country.
That momentum didn’t slow after college. Instead, she’s leaned fully into content creation, modeling, and entrepreneurial work. The influencer shared a serene moment from Kauai’s famous Napali Coast.
Dunne was seen wearing a blue bikini, sitting on a boat as she takes in the cliffs and crystal-clear water. Her brand partnerships continue to expand, ranging from activewear and lifestyle labels to major national campaigns.
She has appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue multiple times and has signed lucrative deals. Dunne also launched “The Livvy Fund” during her LSU days to help women athletes secure NIL opportunities.
The picture from Hawaii is just another example of the online profile Dunne is trying to build. The former gymnast boasts over 5.3 million followers on Instagram alone. Snapshots from her personal life, including vacations and red carpet appearances, are frequently shared on her profile.
While the social media presence and fame is enviable, the journey hasn’t been easy for Dunne. She has talked about the struggles in her journey and how she has been able to navigate through the challenges.
Olivia Dunne on Dealing with Social Media Negativity
With the visibility of her career has come intense scrutiny. Dunne has spoken openly about facing negativity, criticism, and even harassment tied to her rise. She has repeatedly acknowledged that fame brings challenges, especially for young women balancing athletics and influencer work.
Dunne has also responded to criticism about her online presence, especially comments directed at her appearance or the type of content she posts. She has said she chooses what to share based on her comfort, not the expectations or opinions of strangers.
“People always comment stuff that they would never say to your face, so part of it is just having developed tough skin. Social media is hard,” Dunne told SI in 2023.
“That’s something that Paige Spiranac helped me with, just keeping certain parts of your life private,” Dunne added. “Making sure not to post things that, you know, maybe you don’t want people’s feedback on.”
Dunne continues to build her platform with confidence. She pushes back when needed, ignores what doesn’t matter, and focuses on creating the career she wants. Her handling of negativity has been calculated and effective.
