Who is Paul Skenes? Is he dating Olivia Dunne? Learn all there is to know.
A new power couple might be about to take over the sports world. It’s been a ridiculous year for LSU athletics, as the Tigers captured national championships in baseball and women’s basketball. Now, the Tigers might have produced one of the most star-studded couples in sports.
Gymnast and social media star Olivia Dunne is rumored to be dating Pirates prospect Paul Skenes, who helped LSU win the College World Series in June before getting selected first overall by the Pirates in the MLB Draft. Dunne and Skenes both just completed their junior years at LSU, though it was the first in Baton Rouge for Skenes.
The national player of the year is now beginning to work his way through the Pirates’ system, but it certainly looks like he and Dunne are staying in touch, to say the least.
Dunne hasn’t confirmed that she’s dating Skenes, but fans have picked up on some clues from her social media posts that indicate they just might be official. Dunne posted a Snapchat image of herself wearing a Pirates hat, and another image indicates she was in Bradenton, Fla., where Skenes started his career with the FCL Pirates. The internet took notice of the coincidences. The internet also noticed something even more telling in one of the images: A baseball glove. The glove’s stitching indicates it’s the same brand that Skenes used at LSU.
What was the recent incident that added fuel to the fire?
Dunne’s newest Snapchat story added fuel to the fire on Aug. 12, when she tagged her location as Bradenton and said, “good to be back!”
The pair appeared to move one step closer to making it official on Aug. 15, when Dunne made an appearances at Skenes’ debut with the High-A Bradenton Marauders. The developments of the last few weeks weren’t the first signs of a Dunne-Skenes connection.
Dunne was openly supportive of LSU baseball during the team’s run to the national championship in June. That’s no surprise, considering she’s an LSU athlete herself, but Dunne made it all the way out to Omaha to cheer on Skenes and the team during the College World Series.
