Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes share adorable snap after MLB star watches her LSU gymnastics showcase
After Olivia Dunne's final first gymnastics meet of her college career, the social-media sensation shared clips from the LSU event and a picture with Pittsburgh Pirates star boyfriend Paul Skenes.
LSU gymnastics hosted its preseason exhibition match on Monday night in Baton Rouge with Dunne performing in front of Tigers' fans for the first time since winning the national championship earlier this year.
In the crowd was Skenes, watching his girlfriend in action as she begins her gymnastics swan song.
Over the last several months, it has been the opposite in terms of competing and watching, as Skenes made his MLB debut in May and dominated his way into the record books.
Skenes became the first pitcher in MLB history to start the All-Star Game without losing a big-league game. And as he walked the pregame red carpet in Arlington, Dunne was by his side.
Dunne this time wowed on the balance beam and floor exercise before getting her photo with Skenes captioned 'Big LSU gym fan'.

Skenes and Dunne have been dating for well over a year since they were both athletes at LSU
Dunne's behind-the-scenes look at the exhibition meet also included the fifth-year LSU star showing off her purple and white leotard.
The influencer's balance-beam routine included a back-hand spring and backflip combo where she stayed atop the beam, before flipping the opposite way seconds later.
Dunne also posted part of her floor routine, with a stunning double-tuck that she lands perfectly.
Dunne has not shown an interest, or been courted for her ability, to be part of Team USA for the Olympics. By May, she'll have exhausted her college eligibility.
Dunne has over 13.5million followers on Instagram and TikTok and has a name, image, and likeness evaluation of $4.2million, per On3 Sports.
Dunne is far and away the woman with the highest evaluation, besting fellow LSU student-athlete Flau'jae Johnson by $2.7million.
Among the college athletes who will still be affiliated with their schools in 2025, Dunne is the second-highest NIL earner, only behind Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
Colorado's gridiron star duo of Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders both have evaluations higher than $5million.
