Gymnastics star and social media phenomenon Olivia Dunne is ready for a change of scenery after her retirement from competition. Although she is enjoying a more flexible life and supporting her partner, MLB player Paul Skenes, speculation about her foray into the entertainment world has been rife.
Rumors suggest that Dunne could follow in the footsteps of other gymnasts who have triumphed on the dance floor of the popular show Dancing With the Stars, something that excites her millions of social media followers who see great potential for her to reach this outstanding program.

The excitement among fans began recently on TikTok, the platform where Dunne maintains a massive following of nearly 8 million. After posting a post-workout dance and celebration video, a follower directly suggested that she participate in DWTS.
Dunne’s response was concise and electrifying for her fans: “I just got asked…” and added an eye gif, generating suspense.
This brief sentence hinted that the DWTS production team has already been in contact with her. The show’s track record includes other successful gymnasts, such as Shawn Johnson and Jordan Chiles, fueling the expectation that Dunne would be the perfect candidate.
Olivia Dunne focuses on her upcoming projects
Away from the pressures of elite gymnastics, Dunne is focusing on branding and entertainment opportunities. In a recent conversation with PEOPLE, the athlete spoke about her new routine, which includes enjoying baseball season with Skenes and devoting time to her own commitments.
“I’m going to fully enjoy the baseball season and see what it’s all about. But at the same time, I’m going to have my own red carpet events and modeling jobs for Sports Illustrated and different things. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I’m excited to lean into this new lifestyle and be there for Paul,” Dunne explained.
With several projects ahead, Olivia would have no problem adding more things, as she has always been active and full of energy, so perhaps fans could soon see her dancing on television.
