Olivia Dunne is about to start her final chapter at LSU. The gymnast made an appearance in the college’s off-season meet, showcasing her skills to the whole world. Thus, she is set to become quite busy as she hopes to lead her college to a second consecutive NCAA title. However, this doesn’t mean that the gymnast doesn’t have time for her friends. Despite her packed schedule, Olivia made the time to wish this Kentucky gymnast.
Isabella Magnelli, who’s currently also pursuing her master’s in marketing at the college alongside her gymnastics ambitions, unloaded an Instagram post on December 16th. There, she announced her engagement to her boyfriend. He had proposed to her in front of the whole arena after her off-season performance garnered a lot of love.
The caption of Isabella’s post quoted the Bible saying, “‘I have found the one whom my soul loves’ Song of Solomon 3:4” This post attracted a lot of comments from fellow gymnasts. Olivia Dunne said, “OMG I am so happy for you guys… Congrats lova🤍✨💍” Hezly Rivera also commented, saying, “Aww, congratulations, Bella!♥️” Thus, it seemed that the whole community was delighted with the news.

Isabella received even more congratulatory messages from other gymnasts, which included fellow Kentucky teammate Hailey Davis, who said, “I’m so obsessed with this!!! and so happy we got to share this moment with you! I love you so much, belly!! LET’S GET YOU MARRIED💍💍💍” Thus, Hailey was also in the arena when Isabella got engaged and might have possibly been part of the plan, making the whole thing extremely cute.
Finally, Olivia Dunne’s sister Julz also wished Isabella Magnelli, saying, “Congratulations!!!” This shows that the gymnast is probably great friends with both the Dunne sisters. But Olivia being one of the first ones to wish here was appropriate considering the fact that the gymnast is also in a very stable relationship right now and would like to see others find the happiness she has.

Olivia Dunne entered her Intrasquad exhibition knowing that this would be her last event ever of this kind, and she had support by her side. Her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, attended the meet as he currently enjoys off-season with his MLB side Pittsburgh Pirates. This was a very vital event for him to attend, as it was one that Olivia would never forget considering its significance to her NCAA career. Paul’s presence made it even more special for her, as being close to their loved ones in these special moments stays in one’s memory. Thus, it was a great night for Olivia Dunne.
This reflected on her social media, as right after the event, Olivia Dunne took to her Instagram and uploaded a picture with her boyfriend and wrote, “Big LSU gym fan.” Thus, she really enjoyed her time with him. The happiness probably would have also boosted her performance on the gymnastics mat. Olivia took part in the uneven bars, moving from a Tkatchev to a Pak Salto before catching it cleanly. After this, she finished the move with a small slide on the landing, receiving applause from the audience. She also performed well in her floor exercise, inciting similar reactions from the fans. It gave them the expectation that Olivia Dunne would perform at similar levels during the season and could be a vital cog in their title defense.
