Olivia Dunne, the social media personality with 7.9 million followers, recently captured attention by sharing a mirror selfie wearing the iconic red swimsuit from the upcoming reboot of the classic lifeguard drama, Baywatch 2.0: The Influencers Edition. In the snapshot, which she shared on her Instagram story, Dunne winked and posed with a rock sign, adding the caption, "Let's rock @baywatchtv."

Dunne is set to play the recurring role of Grace, described as a highly enthusiastic junior lifeguard. This appearance marks her acting debut as she prepares to transition into a career in television and film following her retirement from gymnastics in April 2025. She will be joining a cast that includes Noah Beck, Shay Mitchell, Stephen Amell, and Brooks Nader. The series is slated for a 2026-2027 launch, and Dunne is currently represented by The Team and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

While Dunne explores her new role, her partner, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, has been working to regain his momentum on the field. The three-time All-Star recently ended a nine-game winless skid and is currently riding a three-game winning streak. In his most recent outing on Sunday, Skenes pitched eight innings, allowing only one run while striking out seven batters. With a 9-8 record and 138 strikeouts over 21 innings for the 2026 season, the Pirates ace is now preparing to face the Chicago Cubs as he looks to even the current three-game home series.
