Olivia Dunne, the gymnastics queen turned social media sensation, is making waves once again. But this time, she’s trading in her leotard for a baseball cap. Dunne, who recently graduated from LSU, is reportedly helping her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes, negotiate a better deal. Yes, you heard that right! The internet sensation is using her influence to spruce up Skenes’ contract offer. So, what does this power couple have up their sleeves?

Well, if an individual ends up with the Paul Skenes rookie debut patch autographed card, they get to live out their baseball dreams! The person who ends up with the card will get season tickets behind home plate for 30 years. Additionally, the card in itself is a rarity. It has a Topps Certified Autograph with Skenes’ MLB debut patch from his time with the Pirates. But that’s not all!

Olivia Dunne has managed to add a cherry to the golden offer. Dunne took it to X and wrote, “Let’s raise the stakes…the person who finds the card can sit with me at a Pirates game in my suite.” Yes, you read that right, folks! Dunne’s suite will be the prime viewing spot for the lucky recipient of this card. If that wasn’t enough, the Pirates’ offer comes with some other perks, too.

The perks include a softball game at PNC Park and a meet-and-greet with Skenes himself. Now, with Olivia Dunne kicking the stakes up a notch, this offer is nothing short of a home run. As the buzz builds and the game approaches, she is making it clear that this game is about as exclusive as it gets. While she continues to support Paul, she is not leaving her athletic life behind!

Raising stakes on one side while prepping for the high-stakes final season!

As Olivia Dunne immerses herself in the sports memorabilia shenanigans, she is not leaving her gymnastics behind. In fact, she is donning the LSU Tigers leotard for one final season! It is Olivia’s fifth and last year of eligibility. She is ready to show the world her growth since her debut in 2020. As Olivia herself puts it, “I’m a completely different person than I was 4 years ago. I’ve learned how to juggle so many responsibilities, how to chase big dreams, and how to stay calm in the face of difficult challenges.” Watch out, NCAA!

If there is one thing the world knows about Olivia Dunne, it is that she has been a game-changer for LSU gymnastics. And history is testimony to that! She made her NCAA debut in the 2020-21 season. Olivia went on to score 9.875 on the uneven bars against Arkansas, contributing vital 9.9s at the SEC Championships and NCAA Regionals. Despite injuries in the 2022–23 season, she has decided to come back.

And now, as Olivia enters the final season, her goal is to write her legacy. To make it even better, her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, is all for it. Turns out Skenes is her biggest cheerleader! The two have a relationship built on support. They even chart each other’s flights to make time amidst their packed schedules. However, this is not the only reason for her return!

“I’ve seen how important women’s sports are to the younger generation, and I want to be part of always advocating for those opportunities,” she added. Well, Olivia Dunne’s balancing act of college gymnastics and mega-bucks is pretty impressive, isn’t it?
