Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes‘ romantic suspense came out of nowhere this year. The dating rumors surfaced after the baseball game in Bradenton, Florida, during the College World Series in June. Sharing the LSU Tigers roots, the gymnast cheered for the baseball player wearing a grey jersey(similar to Skenes). Following months they spent under media scrutiny over their ties until Skenes opened up about their relationship last month. Talking about dating the international sensation, he said, “It?s nice, for sure. It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere.”
