Internet sensation Livvy Dunne has New Jersey roots

A 20-year-old has become a major star on TikTok and Instagram and, while she’s known for competing for LSU in gymnastics, she hails from New Jersey. She was born and raised in Bergen County.

Olivia Dunne, known online as Livvy, is now a millionaire thanks to the NCAA’s Name, Image and Likeness rule that allows athletes to profit off their celebrity.

According to the New York Post, she has signed deals with, among others, American Eagle, Vuori, and Forever 21.

Craig Brommers of American Eagle, told the Pos: “She is an outstanding gymnast from an SEC school, but she has an authentic, optimistic persona on social media. And she looks great in a pair of American Eagle jeans. That to me is the magic we’ve been looking for as we explore this brave new world of NIL.”

According to the Daily Voice, Dunne has over 6 million followers on TikTok and over 2 million on Instagram.
