Making Time Away From Sports Illustrated for Boyfriend Paul Skenes, Olivia Dunne Cheers for Insane Play

Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes seem to be climbing the ladder of good fortune together! First, it was Livvy to ending the 2023-24 gymnastics season with both the SEC and the national title wins with the LSU Tigers. Then came Paul’s big break as he made his MLB debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Interestingly, in both ways, Livvy is enjoying the time under the spotlight like never before. Amid all this, Dunne was recently spotted in New York for a photoshoot event with Sports Illustrated.

While that is justifiably a big moment in Livvy’s career, the reigning NCAA champ made sure to keep an eye on the Pirates’ game against the Chicago Cubs. Olivia Dunne isn’t one to forgo her responsibilities to her boyfriend Paul Skenes, even when she is busy with her other assignments. Recently, Dunne was once again found to play that role diligently.

The Pirates bagged a major 9-3 victory over their rivals, with a special six no-hit innings dished out by Paul Skenes. In her Snapchat story, Dunne couldn’t hold back from nodding her hat to her beau after the game.

Captioned, “slayed that“, Dunne’s Snap showed the gymnastics sensation watching the game on her phone from her hotel room. Accompanied by one of her friends, Dunne & Co. can also be heard letting out a few jubilant “woohoo“s as Paul makes his exit from the pitch. Paul spent a lot of his time on the benches since he was picked up by the Pirates. However, it seems like all he needed was chance and some trust from his colleagues to show just how good he is, and Livv is justifiably elated. While the No.1 draft pick of 2023 is having his time, Dunne isn’t doing too bad herself either.

Good things are coming Olivia Dunne’s way

In her earlier Snapchat stories, fans can see how Dunne’s days are being spent since the Tigers lifted their first-ever NCAA trophy. Attending a party in NYC is never dull, and Livvy had a blast with some A-listers for the Sports Illustrated event. Then again, she was seen at the HQ of the prestigious establishment in the good company of iconic stars who have previously graced the covers of the elite magazine. While Olivia hasn’t made the cover yet, a whole section dedicated to her is an achievement worth gloating about.

And it’s not just nods from iconic publishers that are making the SEC champ smile. In recent weeks, Livvy has dramatically risen in NIL listings, after her valuation increased significantly. Bronny James, LeBron James’ son, took a considerable hit in his own valuation thanks to being out of action for months, which in turn has made Dunne become the second-highest NIL athlete in the country with a total valuation of $3.9 million. Now, with Skenes adding yet another feather to his already decorated cap, fans can’t wait to see how he and Dunne celebrate the big milestone together.
