Olivia Dunne and boyfriend Paul Skenes pictured together for the FIRST TIME at LSU’s college football win over Arkansas Razorbacks – as the gymnast leaves gushing Instagram message

Olivia Dunne has posed for a picture with her boyfriend Paul Skenes for the first time at LSU’s Saturday’s college football game against Arkansas Razorbacks.

Dunne, who turns 21 next Saturday, had already turned heads in the build-up with a picture of her gameday outfit – captioning a picture of her yellow dress and white cowboy boots ‘happy game day tigah fans’.

And the gymnast was joined in the stands by her boyfriend Skenes, 21, who himself is an emerging baseball talent who was chosen first in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It was Skenes who shared the pictures of the two together. He was back at LSU for the game and captioned his own social media post ‘back in the boot!’.

Dunne commented under the picture ‘my heart’ but with a yellow heart emoji in tribute to her team.

Dunne and Skenes, who also shared two other pictures of his day out with friends – with no sign of Dunne – would have had plenty to celebrate after the game. LSU edged the Razorbacks 34-31 in a thriller in Baton Rouge, with Jayden Daniels the star as he passed for 302 yards and four touchdowns.

Skenes confirmed that he and Dunne are an item in August and made a passionate plea to fans to give her space when she attends his games.

Rumors of the paid has been swirling but speculation intensified when she was seen at his debut for the Bradenton Marauders last month.

Speaking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he opened up on their relationship and said: ‘It’s nice, for sure. It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere.

‘If one of us went out in Baton Rouge by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever.

‘It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me.

‘I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.’

Dunne’s meteoric rise to fame means she cannot attend her classes in person at LSU.

In July, she told Elle: ‘There were some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible. I don’t want people to know my daily schedule and where I am.’

Skenes, a pitcher, signed a record $9.2m deal with the Pirates after being picked first in the MLB Draft.

Dunne, meanwhile, already has an estimated wealth of around $2.3m due to a number of endorsement deals. 

Her fame has risen hugely this year in no small part due to those deals. She also appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition.
