Olivia Dunne has been making headlines lately! Her recent comments about NCAA gymnastics, that’s pretty much what everyone in the gym world is talking about. But let’s be real, there’s one topic that her fans never get tired of. And that’s her love story with Paul Skenes. Whether it’s their adorable sightings together or sweet confessions, fans can’t get enough. And we’re sure they would swoon over this latest detail on how the couple’s romance first began!
Well, we’ve seen Olivia Dunne go above and beyond in love, right? Recently, when Paul Skenes got featured on the cover of MLB The Show 25, Livvy hyped him up in the best way. She took to Instagram and shared the big moment on her story with the cutest caption, “& suddenly I like video games [emoji].” Yes, she’s ready to switch up her interests for him without batting an eyelid! And why not? She’s been head over heels in love with him since they met. Oh, and that story just came out!
On January 30, an Instagram post showed Olivia Dunne chatting with Christine Williamson from ESPN, and that’s when the big question came up. ‘How did you start dating?‘ Well, the moment Livvy heard the question, it was like her face lit up with the glow of a thousand candles. She instantly smiled and went on to spill the tea, “He was a baseball player here at LSU, and obviously, I’m a gymnast here. I saw him in the dugout and thought he was cute.” But, of course, it wasn’t that easy.

Turns out, there was one big hurdle. Livvy said that she could never actually watch Paul pitch! “He would pitch on Friday nights, and that’s when we were competing. So I had no clue what he was capable of at the time,” remarked the LSU Tiger. But some things are just meant to be. Because it all fell into place soon after. “I saw him in the fall, I’m pretty sure, and yeah, then I had friends introduce us, and we started dating,” Olivia Dunne continued. And that’s exactly how the world got this power couple!

But this isn’t the first time Paul and Livvy have commented about the start of their relationship. Per the Sporting News, the couple met during the time Skenes’ friend was dating Olivia Dunne’s roommate, Elena Marenas, and that’s how the ace pitcher and the social media sensation got connected. This was way back in 2023, as the couple has now been together for over two years. But back then, Skenes’ reaction to them crossing paths was, “Just a small-world type of thing.”
Yet, one thing is for sure. No wonder how many years are off the calendar, their love for each other has stayed the same. And that keeps coming to life in small tidbits. Like the one Olivia Dunne shared recently.
