Livvy Dunne Says Co-Op Board Denied Her Bid To Buy Babe Ruth's Old NYC Apartment

Former LSU star Livvy Dunne recently explained that she was getting ready to make her first real estate purchase, but a New York City co-op board rejected her bid to buy Babe Ruth's old apartment.

The Upper West Side three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom unit was listed for $1.595 million, and Dunne explained that she intended to pay cash to finalize the deal.

However, during her closing week, plans changed. Per NBC:

"Guys, I'm so upset," the seemingly still cheerful Dunne told her 8 million TikTok followers. "So a few months ago, I decided I was going to make my first real estate purchase, which is so exciting. And I was going to get an apartment in New York City. But the gag was, it was Babe Ruth's apartment."

The Upper West Side three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom unit was listed for $1.595 million.

Dunne said she and her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes, were looking forward to the cash purchase.

"I got an interior designer because I didn't want to bring my college furniture to Babe Ruth's apartment," she said. "That would be, like, criminal."

The building board scuttled the purchase, Dunne said.

"Then the week that I'm supposed to get my keys to my brand new apartment, I get a call: The co-op board denied me, " she said. "So pretty much the people in the building voted to not have me live there, which is fine. Like, honestly, it wasn't financial. "
