Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star Olivia Dunne swaps gymnastics for her boyfriend’s sport of baseball… with hilarious results!
Olivia Dunne is a superstar gymnast and a rising star in the modeling world… but it looks like baseball doesn’t come so easy for her.
In a hilarious clip posted to her Instagram page Thursday night, the LSU icon opted to try her friend’s sport — with hilarious results.
The video begins with Dunne, 21, on the balance beam, with the caption: “Stay on the beam.”
That instruction, perhaps unsurprisingly, caused few problems and you can see that she breezed through it with ease.
The clip then cuts to her in the batting cage, alongside the caption, “Okay, now hit the ball” — but this is where things got tougher.

When it comes to baseball, she doesn’t have the same talent as she does in gymnastics
Hilariously, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is unable to make contact with her bat, instead spinning around and struggling as the balls continue to fly towards her.
She has four attempts to make contact, but unfortunately her first at-bat ended in four at-bats – and she was out.
Dunne may now have even more respect for her pitcher boyfriend Paul Skenes, who rose to prominence this season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After being drafted No. 1 overall, Skenes flew through his minor league assignments and quickly found himself in the major leagues — with Livvy watching from the stands.
The pair have become the hottest couple in baseball, and their fame and fortune will only increase as both continue to make their mark.
Outside of their respective sports, they both already rake in money from sponsorship deals, with Dunne filming a commercial with Travis Kelce last week.
Dunne and Skenes started dating while studying at LSU, and went public with their romance in 2023
The gymnast was recently on holiday in Mexico, where she rode horses on the beach

During an interview on Good morning AmericaKelce revealed that he “got Livvy Dunne in the building” to create ads for energy drink brand Accelerator, which he invested in last year along with brother Jason and Yankees star Aaron Judge.
Dunne, the LSU gymnastics sensation with eight million followers on TikTok, also joined Accelerator’s A-list of athletes in 2023 and is now working with Kelce to promote it.
Travis said of her on GMA, “Definitely just an amazing person, she’s down there making Accelerator look amazing.”
His investment in Accelerator is just one of Kelce’s many business ventures, with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar riding the wave of his high-profile romance with Taylor Swift.
