Livvy Dunne, 22, breaks down in tears over ‘middle-aged men' stalking her at airports
Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne fears she is being 'stalked' every time she goes to an airport. The former LSU gymnast opened up on being chased down by a group of 'middle-aged men' for autographs in an emotional video shared with her eight million followers on TikTok Friday. 'I fear that I'm being stalked and I don't know what to do,' Dunne said in the video captioned, 'They know time, place, airport, everything!!!' The 22-year-old made headlines earlier this year for making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover debut. In the now-viral TikTok video, a visibly emotional Dunne revealed how a group of 'at least 10 middle-aged men' would demand that she sign 'a stack of 40 pictures or magazines.' If she refused to comply, they would run after her and 'yell.' 'They will run after me down the TSA precheck line and yell at me if I don't give them my autograph,' she went on, adding, 'It's insane. They will yell at me and make a scene, and the people around me are scared.' The LSU Tigers women's team alum claimed that her 'stalkers' know every detail about her trips, adding that they would wait for her at airports, whether she is going on a business trip or a family vacation. 'They're waiting there. It's something with the airline, and it's weird,' Dunne said before explaining that men would be waiting for her at odd locations in different cities. In the clip, she included a video of herself filmed earlier in the day, where she was crying in the car following an unsettling encounter with her alleged stalkers. 'Yes I know I'm chronically online and I post my life, but I'm talking about like a 20-minute connecting flight through Omaha, Nebraska, they would be waiting there,' Dunne shared. 'I'm not making content on a connecting flight. I'm talking about the most random cities.'

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader's exes are 'watching' her new sizzling photos
Brooks Nader knows that her exes are watching. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model appears in the iconic magazine for the seventh time alongside Salma Hayek, Jordan Chiles, Lauren Chan and Olivia Dunne as this year's cover girls. The 28-year-old told People magazine at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swim Launch Party in New York City that her former flames have been keeping a close eye on her steamy spread. "They like it. They view it, they see it. They're watching, but... I'm moving right along," the pinup told the outlet about her exes' reactions to her photos. "I'm sure they see it, but whatever. I don't care." Nader was romantically linked to Gleb Savchenko while competing on Season 33 of "Dancing with the Stars." According to the outlet, they reunited after splitting in October 2024, but this April, they called it quits for good. Savchenko, 41, denied rumors of infidelity. "I'm not a cheater," he told E! News. "I'm actually a family guy. I'm a relationship guy. I'm not a f---boy who goes around and goes on all these dates. I'm not even on dating apps." Nader is more focused on making a splash these days. She told People magazine that posing for a seventh year was a different experience for her. "I had a lot of body confidence issues when I first started out in the industry, and I feel like I've evolved into someone who's confident in herself," said Nader. "And I didn't prepare as much this year. I kind of ate a cheeseburger the night before… Because they don't give a f---… They want you for you." "I think that's the beautiful thing about Sports Illustrated and why I am still, seven years later, so honored to be a part of it," she shared. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native took part in the 2019 Swim Search open casting call and won. She has appeared in the magazine every year since. In 2023, she appeared on the cover of a "Baywatch"-inspired shoot. Then, in 2024, she was part of the SI Swimsuit Legends photo shoot alongside 26 other models to celebrate the magazine's 60th anniversary. The original swimsuit issue ran in 1964. It has been a launching pad for models such as Kathy Ireland, Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, Kate Upton and Ashley Graham. Over the years, the issue has tried to stay fresh, with painted bikinis, plus-sized models, unedited photos, tiny swimsuits, amputee models, older models and the addition of professional athletes. For the 2025 issue, Nader was photographed in Bermuda by Ben Watts. In 2023, Nader told Fox News Digital that having a fitness routine she practices daily has helped her both look and feel her best.

"I don't go on any crazy crash diets. I'll just maybe cut out all my spicy margaritas for a couple of weeks leading up to a Sports Illustrated shoot, just to feel mentally clear and healthy in general." "My weakness and downfall are spicy margaritas," she chuckled. "I try to cut those out for a few weeks, which is super challenging. And a guilty pleasure of mine is probably ramen – I love ramen. I could eat three bowls of ramen a day." Some models prefer Pilates, while others stick to running. For Nader, she said her secret to staying in shape is boxing, which she does regularly. The sport was also a known favorite for former Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima. "I box, which I feel has given me a lot of strength and toning," Nader explained. "I've been boxing for the last few years, and I feel that has helped me a lot." "Being a model over the last six years – it can mess with you a little bit mentally because you're going through ebbs and flows of getting really in shape for a shoot," she shared. "And then after that, you're [enjoying] all your cheat meals. I just went through so many phases of my life as a model where I was not steady and constant with working out and eating healthily. I would just go through these crazy highs and lows. And I feel like, lately, as I'm getting older, I just feel it's really important to keep steady." Nader stressed that finding a fitness routine that is fun will help people stick with it and meet their health goals. There is also nothing wrong with eating your favorite comfort foods in moderation, she said. "I almost flew back to Louisiana for a crawfish boil because it's seasonal, and it's my favorite thing ever," she said. "My mom always said I can eat my weight in crawfish. I literally can eat seven or eight pounds of crawfish in one sitting. It's so spicy and salty, the way my dad does them. I have to take off all my jewelry because I'll puff up the whole next day, but it's so worth it – I miss it so much."

Olivia Dunne looks sensational for her first-ever Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover
posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit for the first time after posing in a stunning animal-print bikini. The former gymnast was recently named as one of four cover stars for SI Swimsuit's 2025 edition after already appearing in two previous issues. Her first cover with the magazine, which was shot in Bermuda, shows Dunne, 22, posing in tropical conditions while wearing a collection of skimpy bikinis. The main cover shot shows Dunne kneeling in the water in a zebra-print bikini top and green shorts while staring directly at the camera. After being told she was going to be on the cover, Dunne told the magazine: 'I can't believe it. Oh my god. That photo is so good. That is crazy, I am a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model. 'This bikini... this was the one. I felt like such a baddie in it. This is the best day of my life. This is so exciting.' Dunne also gushed over the shoot in Bermuda, adding: 'It was the most beautiful place I have ever been. The whole experience was extraordinary. 'I know it was quick, but every single time we go to these places, and I shoot for these 24 hours, and it's the quickest trip, you guys feel like family, truly. I have the best time, and it's the most fun shoot I've ever done.' As well as the former LSU gymnast, actress Salma Hayek, Olympian Jordan Chiles and model Lauren Chan also star on their own covers of the 2025 SI Swimsuit issue. Dunne first gave fans a sneak peak of her Bermuda shoot when she was unveiled as a SI Swimsuit model for the third straight year in March. In snaps and videos shared on Instagram, Dunne was seen posing on top of a wall in front of some palm trees while wearing a cheetah-print bikini. Dunne then headed down to the beach to take some more shots in the water, having changed into a zebra-print swimsuit and a backward light-blue baseball cap. Alongside one of the pictures on her Instagram story Dunne wrote: 'Cheers to year 3.' In her five years at LSU, Dunne became the most-followed and highest-paid female college athlete with over 13 million combined TikTok and Instagram followers and a NIL (name, image and likeness) valuation of $4.1million. However, last month her gymnastics career finally came to an end as she bid an emotional farewell to LSU.

Lauren Chan is the first out lesbian to appear solo on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover
Model and entrepreneur Lauren Chan made queer history on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which hit stands Tuesday. 'I'm the first out lesbian on the cover — with her own cover — and how much that means to me makes that surprise feel so overwhelming,' Chan told People magazine. 'That's where I feel like the tears of joy and celebration and relief and community come from.' Olympic gold medalist and soccer icon Megan Rapinoe was the first out gay woman to pose for SI Swimsuit back in 2019, according to the magazine, and she and her fiancé, Sue Bird, were part of a group cover photo last year. Chan, 34, said she shot the images for the SI Swimsuit issue in Bermuda in March, and, at the time, she didn't know she would be on the cover. The magazine surprised her by making her one of four models — along with actor, director and producer Salma Hayek Pinault; social media influencer and former NCAA gymnast Olivia Dunne; and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles — to have her own cover for the 2025 issue, according to a profile of Chan in SI Swimsuit. 'Lauren Chan is rewriting fashion's narrative," MJ Day, the editor in chief of SI Swimsuit, said in a statement on social media. "As a model, activist and entrepreneur, her why is about making people think of beauty in a way that's inclusive, genuine and empowering. As a writer, she challenges the industry's narrow standards, offering a new vision where all bodies and stories are celebrated." Chan wrote an essay for SI Swimsuit in 2023 about coming out as queer in her 30s, getting divorced and appearing in SI Swimsuit for the first time. In the essay, she said she realized she was a lesbian during the pandemic, when she was a successful plus-size model and fashion editor at Glamour magazine and was 'forced to pause and find non-career-related things to do' for the first time in her adulthood. 'So, why did I decide to come out with SI Swimsuit? I spent my career representing women who look like me—and I'm ready for a chapter in which I get to celebrate us for who we are on the inside, too,' Chan wrote at the time, adding that SI Swimsuit has helped move the needle on inclusivity by featuring plus-size, transgender and over-70 models on its cover. In her People interview, which was published Tuesday, Chan said her entire career has been 'based on representation and inclusion." First, she said, she represented plus-size women as a model, fashion editor and founder of Henning, a plus-size clothing brand. 'Then once I started my journey with Swimsuit, it has become a lot about LGBTQ folks and the AAPI community, because I believe I'm also the first Chinese person on the cover of Swimsuit," she continued. "So although my career has taken different forms, the same North Star has been followed, and that is to represent people like me who have felt marginalized and left out to have them feel not just included but celebrated.' Chan, who announced her engagement to writer-director Hayley Kosan earlier this year, told SI Swimsuit that her cover is not just a "pretty picture" that she and her wife-to-be will be able to see at airports — it sends a powerful message. 'When I was growing up, I didn't know I was queer because there was next to no representation, and it was often not positive or it was so singular, so I feel like the specialness of this moment is taking a space that someone like me wouldn't have been represented [in] before, and claiming it with pride,' Chan said.
