Olivia Dunne has a humongous fanbase but her social media career has more cons than pros. The highest paid NCAA athlete has faced several backlashes from her fans, or the young boys going crazy over her. Having said so, even a horrific incident from last year had male fans screaming, ?We want Livvy!” But her beloved LSU had her back, and more specifically, someone else turned her horrors into magic.

The No. 1 MLB draft of 2023, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ player Paul Skenes, was rumored to be dating Livvy. Though the couple didn’t open up about their relationship earlier this year, the fans were smart enough to catch hints. Along similar lines, when the 22-year-old confessed to dating Livvy, he also spilled some truths. In a recent update, some information surfaced.

Livvy’s boyfriend left upset

Being with each other through thick and thin, the power couple started dating earlier in 2023, but didn’t speak about it. After their occasional appearances in candid social media posts, tagging each other, the fans looked somewhat convinced. Though Livvy is “still learning” to give equal importance to her social and her private life, her posts look like they’re smooth sailing.

However, when Skenes declared their official relationship in August, he had some truths to spill alongside. As far as Livvy’s fanbase is concerned, especially the men can go topsy-turvy. Wherever there’s the 21-year-old, paparazzi reach before her. So, during an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette magazine, the? baseball player had said, “can be a pain in the butt sometimes.”

For couples across all avenues, private time holds the most importance. But considering Livvy’s following, the athletic couple hardly gets any time off media. Though Livvy said, “But we try to keep things private,” their privacy gets tarnished oftentimes. Talking of balance, the LSU gymnast opened up to People magazine to state the essentiality of it in her life.

She said, “That’s really important because if you don’t have balance, that can affect your mental health.” Having said so, this year at the Championships, LSU had arranged for a special security system to keep the attention controlled. But there’s more to her story.

Olivia Dunne on her relationship

Olivia Dunne said, “I’ve definitely learned over the past few years that, this past year mostly, that keeping certain things private is okay.” When fans sense some romance is brewing, they don’t take a single moment to assume things. When Josh Richard, Livvy’s rumored ex-boyfriend, posted a video of them on YouTube, netizens went crazy. Besides, the athletes also bear responsibilities of behaving as per fans’ expectations.

In another gymnastics story of the GOAT Simone Biles and her husband, fans keep coming back with their game expectations, and lashes out when something goes wrong. However, this year, the athletes are doing better at bothering less. In the same vein, Livvy said, “I finally feel like I got a grasp on it this year. It’s just compartmentalizing things mentally is very important in my everyday routine.”
