Olivia Dunne’s holiday season is in full swing, but before we dive into that, let’s talk about her MLB star boyfriend, Paul Skenes. While she’s been celebrating the holiday season, Paul has been making major moves as a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, which means they’ve been apart quite a bit. And guess what? Olivia’s been totally open about the struggles of their long-distance relationship, but she’s handling it like a champ. She recently got real about it on the Betches podcast, where she shared the deets on how she’s been keeping up with Paul’s games. When asked how many games she’s managed to attend, her answer was the sweetest: “I try to go to every game in Pittsburgh if I’m not at school.” Between being a Division I gymnast and supporting her man from afar, she’s got a lot on her plate. But hey, she’s making it all work and even got to celebrate Paul’s big win when he was named Rookie of the Year after an incredible first season with the Pirates!

Their course together can only be described as impressive. Paul, one of the highlighted prospects, with a bit of a question mark, was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 MLB Draft and he crushed it right from his first game against the Cubs. And even though there are imperfections, it makes the relationship very realistic. When the host asked if they ever worked out together, Olivia burst out laughing and said, “We tried to work out together once, but our workout style is quite different. He has his earbuds in; he just grinds and doesn’t talk, but I like talking too much!” And while things may not always be perfect, that’s what makes their relationship so real. But here’s a twist that has made Olivia Dunne’s holiday season even better!

Olivia Dunne’s holiday season!

Olivia Dunne dropped a cute update on her Instagram stories on December 8, giving us a peek into her date night with none other than her boyfriend, Paul Skenes! Yep, they were living it up in New Orleans, Louisiana, all cozy and cute. The two were seated across from each other at a candlelit table, and Paul was doing his boyfriend thing—looking at the menu, probably figuring out what to order. Livvy captioned the story with “le bebe,” and we all know Paul’s her baby!

Paul was looking sharp in a classy gray suit, paired with a white and gray striped shirt underneath, giving us major date-night vibes. As Olivia snapped a picture, Paul was too cool to look at the camera, instead choosing to focus on the menu like a pro, but you could still tell he was blushing! It was the kind of sweet, low-key moment that made us all go ‘awww’. 

And guess what? While Olivia’s out there soaking up quality time with her boyfriend after all that long-distance hustle, she’s already got the Christmas vibes on full blast! Just recently, she kicked off the holiday season early with a cozy Christmas celebration with her LSU teammates. It’s like she’s living her best festive life, blending both the holiday magic and those special moments with the people who matter most.

Livvy brings on the early Christmas vibes!

Ho Ho Ho, looks like Christmas came early, well at least for Olivia Dunne! Just a day ago, Livvy kicked off the holiday vibes with an epic Christmas party alongside her LSU teammates. The gymnast posted a TikTok of the cozy night she hosted at her place, where everything had that festive holiday flair. Decked out in red from head to toe, Olivia and her squad were all about spreading Christmas cheer. And of course, she set the scene with Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You playing in the background to really give it that holiday magic.

The highlight? Olivia Dunne went all out with her decorations, including a tree wrapped in lights and surrounded by gifts. But when one of her teammates unwrapped her present, jaws hit the floor. Inside was a sleek black Gucci bag, and we’re talking top-tier stuff—these bags go for anywhere between $1200 and $2600! The teammate was beyond thrilled, wrapping Olivia in a hug, all smiles and gratitude. And after that sweet moment, they kept the party rolling, swinging baseball bats—probably another gift from Livvy herself.
