Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Gymnast and influencer Livvy Dunne is not only a star athlete at LSU, an NCAA champion, and a NIL icon, she also has a pivotal role in the new docuseries The Money Game — and her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, has been there every step of the way.

Dunne, 21, is in the middle of a press run for the Prime docuseries, which focuses on how the 2021 Name Image Likeness (NIL) rule has been life-changing for college athletes everywhere, and particularly at LSU.

And when Dunne stopped by the Good Morning America studio in New York City on Tuesday, September 10, cohost and former NFL great Michael Strahan couldn't help but ask what Skenes, 22, thinks of The Money Game. (Skenes, who met Dunne at LSU, has been making a huge name for himself lately with his phenomenal start as a rookie pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.)

"He actually was in [The Money Game]. He was in Baton Rouge during the fall and he is featured in the docuseries," Dunne revealed. "And he had a lot of fun filming it with me and he's excited to watch the finished product."

Along with fellow LSU student Angel Reese, Dunne has essentially become the face of the NIL rule change, which now allows college athletes to take brand deals and make money off of their —well — name, image and likeness. The influencer, who boasts millions of followers across all of her social platforms, revealed on the Full Send podcast in July 2023 that she can make "six figures" on a single post.

The Money Game is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
