At home in New Jersey before the beginning of her final college season with LSU, Olivia Dunne spent her Christmas Eve doing the ‘Polar Plunge’ on her own terms into the Atlantic Ocean on the Jersey Shore.
Dunne tagged her location as Belmar Beach in the Garden State and the temperature at 32 degrees, or exactly the freezing point.
That did not stop the social media sensation from putting on a red bikini and going head first into the frigid water.
Dunne’s golden retriever Roux was also at the beach and came to meet the Tigers‘ star as soon as she came out of the water.
Dunne will be back in Baton Rouge as the LSU regular season gets underway on January 3.
Many have speculated what lies ahead for Dunne, especially as the girlfriend of MLB All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes.

Dunne has not shown an interest, or been courted for her ability, to be part of Team USA for the Olympics. By May, she’ll have exhausted her college eligibility.
Dunne has over 13.5million followers on Instagram and TikTok and has a name, image, and likeness evaluation of $4.2million, per On3 Sports.
Dunne is far and away the woman with the highest evaluation, besting fellow LSU student-athlete Flau’jae Johnson by $2.7million.
Among the college athletes who will still be affiliated with their schools in 2025, Dunne is the second-highest NIL earner, only behind Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
Colorado’s gridiron star duo of Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders both have evaluations higher than $5million.
