Olivia Dunne ‘Reconnecting With Nature’ In Cheeky Bikini Told Boyfriend Is A ‘Lucky Man’

Olivia Dunne had social media fans in a chokehold after sharing a cheeky video!

The former LSU gymnast went on TikTok and posted the clip, which saw her basking in nature’s beauty after a nerve-wracking baseball season.

The video showed Dunne, 23, basking in the sun while wearing a printed mint bikini that complemented her tan. Walking into the lake, giving onlookers a cheeky display, the athlete turned influencer and actress dipped her body, including her long, blonde hair in the water. She was then seen floating and stretching her legs, before standing up and raising her arms.

“Baseball szn got me out here reconnecting with nature,” Dunne captioned the TikTok share, and wrote, “Girl whatever,” over the video.

Fans Think Olivia Dunne’s Boyfriend Paul Skenes Is A ‘Lucky Man’

Dunne’s video was a hit as it got over 1.7 million views and 76,000 likes. Fans showered the content creator with adoring comments, while others acknowledged how “lucky” her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, is.

“Yes babe watching PAUL PLAY would have me DITCHING HIS GAME and heading to the beautiful vista you’ve chosen,” wrote one person, while another follower noted, “Paul is a lucky man.”

A third user added, “Damn, she is so fine.”

Bringing In The Heat As A Sports Illustrated Model

Dunne regularly posts bikini updates on social media ever since her LSU days, which eventually landed her a gig on Sports Illustrated. She made her magazine debut in April 2023, but three months prior, she traveled to Puerto Rico for the photo shoot.

In an interview with the publication, Dunne opened up about navigating fame as a social media personality and how golf influencer Paige Spiranac helped her.

“The biggest thing I’ve learned so far is that you need to make sure to keep certain parts of your life private,” Dunne said. “Some things you don’t want the whole world knowing, so [you have to] keep certain parts of your life private.”

She continued, “That’s something that [Spiranac] kind of helped me with … just keeping certain parts of your life private,” adding, “Making sure not to post certain things that maybe you don’t want people’s feedback on.”

A Constant Presence In The Magazine

After her debut, Dunne has been a constant presence in Sports Illustrated issues. She earned her first major cover spot in the May 2025 edition, which she “manifested.”

“I remember the first time I dreamt about Sports Illustrated and getting to work with SI. It was literally just a dream of mine,” Dunne explained in another interview. “I feel like I manifested it into my reality today … It’s been a blast, it changed my career. I would say to my 16-year-old self, just keep doing what you’re doing because you’ll end up here. This is crazy.”

The Ultimate Cover Girl

After reaching that milestone, Dunne achieved the rare honor of landing a second consecutive cover for Sports Illustrated’s May 2026 issue. In the same year, the model also made her acting debut on “Baywatch.”

The reboot series, which is being filmed on Venice Beach and on the Fox Studio Lot in Los Angeles, also casts SI Swimsuit model Brooks Nader, actors Stephen Amell, Hassie Harrison, Jessica Belkin, and Thaddeus LaGrone. According to Dunne, she’s “having a great time on set.”

“I am having a great time on set meeting the other actors and learning all of the things that go into a big production like this,” Dunne told SI Swimsuit. “One thing that is surprising is that there isn’t one way to memorize a script. Actors all have their own techniques and different tips and tricks. Brooks and I have worked together before on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and other brand deals so it is nice to see a familiar face on set. She’s always a lot of fun to have around!”
