Dunne's LSU gymnastics career began in the summer of 2020 when she joined the Tigers. Since then she made her debut in the 2020-2021 NCAA season in which she scored an impressive 9.875 on the uneven bars in a meet against the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Dunne's final season at LSU was cut short in early 2025 when she suffered a painful kneecap injury, leading to her retirement from gymnastics. Dunne also struggled with a previous ankle injury which impacted her collegiate career and prevented her from chasing her Olympics dreams.

Some fans were speculating that revealing details of her potential appearance on 'DWTS' may have ruined her chances of actually being cast.

One fan wrote on her TikTok, "well now you won't be on since you just said that."

While it is unknown if Livvy will officially join the "Dancing with the Stars" cast for season 35, fans are eager to see her show off her flips and tricks on the dance floor.
