Olivia Dunne always manages to shine in the spotlight. Whether in her sparkly leos, her beachside shots, or even her casual selfies, her fans just can’t get enough. No wonder her fan base exceeds 10 million followers online. The LSU gymnast, in her senior year, has now introduced her fans to the current love of her life, which has left her fans thrilled.

And no, we’re not talking about Paul Skenes. Just a month ago, Livvy introduced her fans to her four-legged baby. A furball she has named Roux. Since then, most of her posts feature her co-star. The pupper and Livvy are a match made in heaven, and fans cannot stop gushing over the munchkin’s cuteness. In a recent adorable update, even Livvy got sidelined as Roux won most hearts on Livvy’s own platform.
