Dunne competed in four meets in the 2025 NCAA season before succumbing to an avulsion fracture in her kneecap. She sat out of her semi-final event, where her team finished in third place, missing the opportunity to defend the National title. In April 2025, the 22-year-old announced she would retire from competitive gymnastics but stay closely associated with her sport through different roles.

Shortly after, she achieved another milestone, making her cover girl debut in the 2025 swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. She attended the red carpet in a Kate Barton-designed outfit and accessorized with a clutch by Benedetta Bruzziches. Following that, in what looked like an after-party, she shared a frame with iconic rapper 50 Cent, in a recent Instagram update.
