Livvy Dunne has revealed what boyfriend Paul Skenes thought about her latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photoshoot after she broke the internet again last week.
The former LSU gymnast and TikTok sensation, celebrating her fourth year with the magazine, posed for some raunchy pictures out in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico for SI Swimsuit’s 2026 issue.
In the sizzling snaps, Dunne, 23, is seen posing against a rugged desert backdrop and shoreline while wearing a series of bikinis that sent fans wild.
Other stunning shots captured her in a cream-and-white striped bikini as well as a brown, off-shoulder, one-piece swimsuit.
The images of Dunne quickly set the internet ablaze when they were released earlier this week, and her baseball-star beau was one of the many admirers.
‘I texted him. I was like, “Hey, the SI photos are out,”‘ she recalled about Skenes in an interview with People. ‘And he’s like, “Where can I see them?” As if he doesn’t know.’

‘I was like, “Just look at everything,”‘ Dunne added. ‘He loved it. Yeah, he loved it. He always does.’
Dunne has been in a relationship with Skenes since 2023, around the time he was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with the first overall pick in that year’s MLB Draft.
He has already enjoyed a blistering start to his professional career, having become the first pitcher to win Rookie of the Year and then a Cy Young Award for 40 years last season.
After retiring from gymnastics, as well as pursuing her own commercial opportunities, Dunne also spends plenty of time cheering on Skenes in the stands.
When asked how they manage to juggle their respective schedules to find time for each other, Dunne said in February: ‘Honestly, I don’t think we have any rules. I just think being super present with one another while you’re together, while you have that time together, is super important.’
‘I mean, he makes time to come to my events,’ she added. ‘I make time to go watch him pitch. I try to make every start I can.’
With her gymnastics days over, Dunne, who appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon this week, is now trying to carve out an acting career in Fox’s Baywatch reboot.

The online star had previously been rejected for a role on HBO’s White Lotus before landing a part in the remake of the famous 1990s lifeguard drama, and she was admittedly nervous acting in front of the camera as a result.
‘Gymnastics usually you just go out there and perform on a four inch beam, but this, I have to talk, perform and play somebody else, rather than myself,’ Dunne said, explaining the concept of acting. ‘So it was completely different.’
Unlike White Lotus, where he audition fell short, Dunne said she just had to send in a tape for Baywatch.
‘I had, like, really, no expectation of what was gonna happen,’ she said, adding: ‘I got a call back.’
