“Do not go gentle into that good night” – Dylan Thomas’ memorable poem almost perfectly reflected in Olivia Dunne’s recent timeline. The LSU gymnast and social media star has had a busy week with her preparation for Swimsuit Illustrated’s premier parties marking its 60th anniversary. While after the hectic schedule, all Livvy wanted was to be home to spend time with her fur baby, she had more duties to fulfill.

In her latest Snapchat stories, the LSU Tigers star framed several happenings that showed her in multiple destinations in a difference of a few hours. Last week, Olivia Dunne was present at her boyfriend Paul Skenes’ second big league appearance in PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Nevertheless, her schedule quickly required her to travel to New York and Florida to be present at the extravagant red carpet ceremony organized by Swimsuit Illustrated. But after concluding that part, according to her Snapchat update, Livvy took a flight to New Jersey to spend her private moments with baby Roux.

But her time at home was extremely short as she had to bid goodbye to Roux to be next to her boyfriend Paul Skenes, who currently stays in Pittsburgh. Landing at the Pittsburgh International Airport, Olivia Dunne shared a carfie. The entire affair consumed more than 10 hours of air time. But for Livvy, such things are not new.

In her gymnastics season for LSU Tigers, Olivia Dunne had to manage both the practice schedules and the shoots for the sponsors. While keeping tabs on those engagements, she used to take a breather by spending time with her close ones in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

But in such situations, Olivia could hardly attend Paul Skenes’ MLB games. Rather, the LCD screens remained her medium to watch Paul Skenes climbing through the ranks to become a household name in the game. But now, Livvy is trying to take out as much time as possible to be next to her boyfriend at his games, with many more faces welcoming her with open arms. 

Olivia Dunne finds new fan away from gymnastics 

Last week, the Pittsburgh Pirates authority finally gave in to unleashing Paul Skenes in the big league in the home contest. It was the match against the Chicago Cubs and Paul Skenes didn’t disappoint with his fastball. However, his girlfriend Olivia Dunne was present this time to witness those pitchings that clocked 100 mph around. Habitually, she felt excitement after watching her boyfriend’s contributions and she had one or two words to add on the occasion.

While giving her expressions to such other-worldly showcasing of the game, Livvy said, “I can’t control — I don’t know how to throw a 100 mile (per hour) fastball, but it’s hard to have no control. Especially with gymnastics when you’re just watching. But I know he’s got this and I just have a lot of confidence in him.” Well, she wasn’t the only face who celebrated the homecoming. It was the MLB itself too! 

On its social media page, MLB kept a post with the caption, “Livvy Dunne entering her MLB WAG era,” to celebrate Olivia Dunne’s arrival at PNC Park. Certainly, such a post doubled the joy for the couple. Maybe that fanfare boosted Olivia Dunne to cover a huge flight time to appear in Pittsburgh again to witness the fun.
