Holiday Cheer Ends Early for Olivia Dunne in Move Back to Baton Rouge

LSU standout Olivia Dunne lit up New Jersey with her homecoming for the holidays. From posing in a fairy lights-lit street in a stunning black ensemble to embracing cozy comfort with her family, Livvy relished her well-deserved break from rigorous gymnastics training. In an endearing moment, three generations of Dunne women were seen posing together when Livvy’s aunt Laura St. John shared a picture of Livvy and family members Julz Dunne, Katherine Patterson Dunne, Laura St. John, and Judy Patterson.

Accompanying the 21-year-old back home was her fur baby Roux, who also made it into the Dunne women’s photo. However, after spending a cheerful time with her family, Olivia Dunne had to say goodbye and also sadly bid farewell to her baby while heading back to Baton Rouge.

After making the most of Christmas with her loved ones in her post-Christmas update to her fans, Olivia Dunne took to her Snapchat stories with two surprising updates. She shared a casual mirror selfie clicked in her family home bedroom in New Jersey, clad in a purple LSU hoodie and black pants. The caption of the cozy picture read, “Back to school, I go.” Although fans were excited to see her head back to the university, the good news also came with an upsetting parting. These pictures were followed by an update where Livvy bid farewell to her fur baby, Roux.

In further post-holiday updates on Snapchat stories by Livvy, she shared some upsetting news. Her pupper Roux, who had accompanied the LSU star to New Jersey, had to stay back rather than head to Baton Rouge with Olivia Dunne. The reason for the change was unknown, but after posting a picture of the white fluffy lab, she wrote, “Bye Roux girl,” adding a heart emoji.

After Livvy said goodbye to her home city of New Jersey, she even shared a picture of Roux, who came to accompany her on her car ride to the airport, and added a good-bye emoji. As Livvy heads into her last NCAA season with LSU, fans fervently hope for her continued success and eagerly anticipate the eventual reunion of Olivia Dunne and her cherished roommate, Baby Roux.
