Olivia Dunne, NCAA gymnastics, NIL list, TikTok—for the last several weeks the script has touched all these elements again and again. Olivia has continued to make statements either through her performance on the gymnastics mat or through her social media shares. The 22-year-old gymnast and influencer has always kept her presence counted. However, in these episodes, she has also experienced a few gloomy parts. Enter her absence in the Week 5 NCAA gymnastics challenge for her college program, the LSU Tigers. Despite being in the discussion, Olivia had to miss the entire contest against Mizzou Gymnastics. So how should her response be to get out of this?

Well, are we forgetting that Livvy has a personal life? She can have her days sorted there. Additionally, that part of her life always comes with memorable pictures. And recently one such joined the line. How? On February 1, Livvy reshared her sister Julz Dunne’s Instagram post. The original post came with a thankful note: “Thank you for the early bday gift @livvydunne I love youuuuuuu.” So, Julz paid her gratitude to her little sister for the gift the latter gave her. But wait? Isn’t Julz’s birthday yet to come?

Yes, the elder sister has her birthday on February 4, and the younger sister has a gymnastics contest scheduled for February 7. The LSU gymnastics team will make a journey to Alabama to compete in Week 6 of the ongoing gymnastics season. However, before that, it was all about cherishing the bond again. And a few details might help to make the picture clear, no? First, Livvy made the entire scenario more special by adding a few more lines to her Instagram post. Such as? 

In the Instagram story, which Olivia reshared, Julz also wrote, “No. I don’t think you guys understand. I have the best sister ever.” Undoubtedly! But what did the story hold as the birthday gift? It had a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, priced at nearly $47,190. A ‘small’ token of love, indeed! For someone who sits at the fifth position on the NIL list, the price may not be an issue. But for Livvy, the story is something more special. How?

Livvy’s ardent fans may already know about Julz’s contribution to building the social media star’s regime. As per the national champion gymnast, Julz should get all the shout-outs to make Livvy famous on social media. In the second episode of the ‘Money Game’ released in September 2024, Olivia highlighted this topic. In the docuseries, Livvy unequivocally said, “My sister, she deserves just as much as I do. Julz is like the mastermind behind pretty much everything. She’s the brains behind the operation.” And what does the ‘operation’ look like? 

Since her inclusion in Livvy’s social media team, Julz has been doing all the edits, keeping captions of the posts, and adding funny tones. Altogether, she is the one with the magic wand to transform the flavors of Olivia Dunne’s social media posts. “If that girl [Livvy] has ever posted anything funny in her life, you know who came up with it because it wasn’t her,” Julz proudly said in the ‘Money Game’ docuseries. And she has been doing this despite having a graduate degree and a gymnastics past at LSU. So, shouldn’t Olivia remain thankful to Julz Dunne for obvious reasons? But we can never miss the sisterly dynamics between the two. Example?

Julz has perfect reasons to stand for Olivia Dunne 

The elder sister rightly knows about the deepest secrets of her sister. Coming from a humble background in New Jersey, Julz remembers the earlier days of her and Livvy’s shared childhood. In the second episode of ‘Money Game,’ the LSU alum shared important information from that shared childhood. The information reveals that Olivia didn’t have the chance to have a proper education in her initial childhood. Because of that, she had to face the fangs of an ultimate boon. 

In the episode, Julz said, “She [Olivia] has no character development. She didn’t go to public school. I did.” A bit of fact-finding would confirm the validity of Julz’s words. Livvy’s fall for gymnastics landed her at ENA Gymnastics. At 3, she became a registered member at the gymnastics facility. Meanwhile, the pressure of the classes left her little time to continue her side. Such a situation made the sisters’ mom, Katherine, homeschool Livvy. But Julz had a better way. Her “character development” came through a proper education system. The result? Olivia is winning hearts because of her gymnastics and social media presence, and Julz remains the brain behind crafting her ways. Aren’t those factors enough to throw nearly $47,000 in celebration?
