 Livvy Dunne Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Livvy Dunne has been all over the headlines these past few days, transforming from NCAA gymnastics star to entertainment and marketing powerhouse. Since her high-profile retirement from gymnastics earlier this spring, she’s taken on an eye-catching business partnership with Fanatics Sportsbook that's dominating attention on TV and across digital platforms. According to Marca and People, Dunne is the face of the new "Explained by Livvy Dunne" campaign. The ads play up her quirky, comedic side, showing her in a bubble-filled bathtub centerfield at the Rose Bowl and, in a now-viral spot, going to town on a turkey leg in the stadium stands while explaining features like Fair Play protection for football bets. Social media erupted over these scenes, with the bathtub clip in particular drawing millions of views and plenty of commentary. Fanatics’ CMO dubbed this their boldest pitch yet, banking on Livvy’s “disruptive” style.

In her exclusive interview with People, Dunne shared that she loves the performance side of these projects as much as she loved gymnastics. She’s especially proud of this Fanatics campaign and revealed that working with Michael Rubin and the Fanatics team feels like family, hinting that more collaborative content is on the way this fall. She acknowledged the criticism that comes with fame and said she’s been drawing inspiration from Taylor Swift on how to handle the scrutiny and stay true to her creative voice.

Off-screen, Livvy has been a constant presence at big events. She stole the show at the US Open tennis tournament in New York, first sharing a selfie in a strapless dress, then returning to dance in the stands with her sister Julz in a moment captured by the tournament’s own social media, as reported by Sports Illustrated. This sparked a mini-drama online, with critics accusing influencers like Dunne of hijacking major events for attention—a debate that underscores her ongoing influence far beyond gymnastics, according to Marca.

Dunne's personal life is also front-and-center; she’s been openly supporting Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, her boyfriend, making the rounds at his games, including their travels to Boston this week as covered by Sportskeeda. Even when away—like during Skenes’ recent dominant outing—Dunne shared her support by streaming his performance courtside at the US Open. On her own platforms, she reflected on her early social media journey and how going viral with gymnastics stunts sowed the seeds for all this attention.

In short, Livvy’s transition from athlete to media icon is gathering steam with every new appearance, ad, and social post—never without a little controversy or plenty of buzz.
