Livvy turned a pro gymnast at just 14, advancing with unwavering resolve to take the NCAA sponsorship. In addition to being a member of the LSU Tigers now, she’s also a former USA team gymnast.
Instead of going to a regular school, her mother homeschooled her, which presented challenges along the way to success. Her best friend at the time was her beloved puppy, Biscuit. She said, quite sweetly and with a hint of melancholy, “RIP Biscuit,” to which Julz added, “aka Biato,” to which Livvy grinned and nodded.
These days, Dunne’s cherished pet Roux has made a name for herself on Instagram under the handle ‘That Girl Roux.’ Just like her mother Livvy who dressed as Khaleesi, Roux also made waves this Halloween. In an adorable photo, she was perfectly dressed as a delicious hot dog, with mustard and ketchup on the bread and the correct amount of sausage and lettuce.
