Olivia Dunne has once again been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, eliminating any doubts about her inclusion this year.

As promotion for the upcoming 2026 SI Swimsuit Issue is in full swing, cover stars and featured names have been constantly advertising their involvement in the coveted annual magazine.

In one of the more recent instances, Olivia Dunne is the latest celebrity to announce her involvement, taking to X and marking her fourth straight year with SI Swimsuit. The former LSU gymnast posted a picture from a promotional shoot captioned, "4th year's the charm! @SI_Swimsuit".

Speaking about her drive, SI Swimsuit Editor-in-Chief MJ Day said, “Olivia Dunne's why goes far beyond the floor and bars—it’s about changing the game for athletes everywhere. She was one of the first to leverage the power of name, image and likeness deals, building a brand that’s both financially successful and rooted in showing the real Livvy,"

Dunne made her SI Swimsuit debut back in 2023 when she was 20 years old and was still a competing gymnast at LSU. She was featured in the 60th anniversary issue the following year.

2024 saw her being named as one of four cover stars alongside Salma Hayek Pinault, Jordan Chiles, and Lauren Chan.

This year, Dunne was pictured in Mexico alongside a group that features Haley Baylee, Lauren Chan, Bethenny Frankel and fellow Baywatch member Brooks Nader among others.

The Olivia Dunne Fanbase Reacts

Dunne's post on X sparked instant reactions amongst fans who were pleased to see her chasing her passions after a successful stint as a gymnast in college, where she built the majority of her fanbase.

"4th year SI Swimsuit is crazy work!" one fan commented, addressing Dunne's consistency.

Another echoed a similar sentiment, writing, "4th year’s the charm for real. You’re killing it again Livvy!"

"Congrats on another year with SI Swimsuit!! No matter what year, your work is timeless in every way," a wholesome comment read.

"4 years of making history! The consistency is actually insane. Sports Illustrated knew exactly what they were doing with this shoot. Absolute fire!" yet another fan remarked.

"It’s totally unacceptable by SI if an actual athlete like you isn’t the #1 choice," opined a fan, suggesting that Dunne should be the cover star in this year's issue.

So, will Olivia Dunne be the cover star for this year's SI Swimsuit Issue and join the likes of Ronda Rousey, Alex Morgan, and Naomi Osaka as an athlete-model? Let us know!
