Olivia Dunne is a pro when it comes to nailing those small expressions of love, right? Especially with this year being so important for her—her final one at LSU, she cannot afford to have any distractions. But Paul Skenes? He’s not a distraction! He’s more like her rock or her dearest cheerleader, as some would say. No wonder Livvy must have thought: Why not give him an adorable shoutout?
And that’s exactly what she did! The couple has been together since 2023 now, which means Livvy’s seen everything, from him making his MLB debut to winning the ‘Rookie of The Year’ title last year. And even today, as Paul Skenes’s MLB season is about to kick off, she’s promised the winner of the ‘golden ticket’ a seat with her in a Pirates’ game. That’s how much she hypes him careerwise! And when it comes to love, the recent update bears testimony.
After the platform was revived in America, Olivia Dunne took to TikTok on January 23 and shared a heartwarming video with Paul Skenes. It was a montage featuring the two on the tunes of Chest Pain by Malcom Todd, which showed some aww-worthy snippets of the couple. PS: It included some of Skenes’ goofy snaps too. Thus, from embracing Livvy to playing with her pet dog Roux, or simply jumping like a kid on her gym mats— the video is every bit adorable.

Dunne even captioned the post, “He’s ight;)💕,” making it clear that she loves her partner to bits! But it’s not just her. We’ve seen how Paul Skenes shows his support and affection for her out loud. Remember when he attended LSU’s pre-season opener at the PMAC? He clearly turned into a ‘lucky fan’ that day, as he not only recorded glimpses of Olivia Dunne’s final Gymnastics 101 event but got her to pose with him after the meet too.

On January 24, 2025, Olivia Dunne and her LSU Tigers team (Number 2) shall face the Number 14 Razorbacks for their SEC road opener. And as per Olivia Dunne’s recent Instagram story on January 23, we know that she’s already jetted off to the destination in her comfortable purple LSU tracksuit, as she updates her followers with a goofy mid-air snap. In what is slated to be their 55th meet ever, the Tigers hold a clear advantage with a 47-6-1 all-time series record against the Razorbacks. So, it’s easy to see who holds the edge here.
Also, looking at how their last meet was a major success, Olivia Dunne and the rest of her teammates must be riding on an all-time high. We saw how LSU took down the Gators this Friday, securing a marginal win with 197.550-197.450 on the board. But as 13,515 fans showed up at the meet, it became the firstsell out of the year, making it a double win for Dunne and her team. No wonder she took to Instagram and added a carousel of images with the caption, “A fabulous day to be a tiger🐯.” But do you think they can recreate the same this Friday? And if they do, will Paul Skenes be present to watch Livvy? Let us know what you think below!
