American sensation Olivia Dunne has adopted a fresh role in her life. It’s oddly unrelated to her previously known roles as an influencer, an LSU gymnast, a member of the US Team, or even Paul Skenes’ girlfriend. The LSU senior recently adopted the role of a dog mom for a beloved furry baby named Roux. Now, Livvy has her 14M fans on various social media platforms drooling with love for her snow-white-fur companion. Notably, Dunne takes her mommy duties quite seriously in addition to her professional commitment as the highest-paid female college athlete.

Dunne is known for sharing updates about her life on social media platforms, which didn’t hint at anything. But now speculation on her relationship with boyfriend Paul Skenes has arisen due to her apparent Swiftie status. While there was more to the update than meets the eye! In her mommy era, the gymnast playfully captioned it, “culturing the young one.” If you’re a Swiftie and a pet owner, this is just enough to melt your heart or even make your day better!

Young Roux’s digital identity

After amassing a seven-figure salary through social media following, Dunne on October 24 launched Roux’s own account, “That Girl Roux,” welcoming her furry friend to the virtual world. Alyona Shchennikova, an athlete from LSU, posted the first picture of herself holding Roux in a humorous midair posture. Interestingly, Roux’s account attracted almost 4,700 devoted followers in just two weeks, which is proof of the furry buddy’s indisputable attractiveness.
