Livvy Dunne's viral split moment SI Swimsuit sent social media into a frenzy, and now she's opening up about it.
The former gymnast spoke to Rolling Stone about her spur-of-the-moment decision to drop into a split while walking the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show catwalk last week, telling the publication, "I actually had my Invisalign aligners in and then I went on the runway, had all the confidence in the world and dropped into a split. Because why not?" She continued: "Gymnastics will never leave me. I’ll always be a gymnast at heart."
"I was so nervous that during rehearsal, I walked down the wrong side of the runway. But whenever I get nervous, I just take a deep breath and smile, because that makes me feel my best." Afterwards, Brink shared a picture of her viral moment on X with the caption, "I got triple dog dared."

"And you accepted it with grace," wrote one of the commenters. "That's the kind of confidence and smile everyone should have," added another fan. Meanwhile, Dunne and fellow Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Alix Earle, kicked off the weekend partying it up. "Officially survived an Alix night out in Miami," she wrote on TikTok.
Indeed, Dunne is living her best life right now.
