"Leave Miss Tuah out of this" - Olivia Dunne fires back at fan's comment on romantic photo with Pirates sensation boyfriend Paul Skenes
It has been a busy few months for Olivia Dunne. In addition to graduating from LSU, the popular gymnast also got the chance to watch her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, make his MLB debut.
On Monday, the 21-year-old posted a romantic picture of herself with Skenes while on a boat in Pittsburgh. The post garnered thousands of likes and comments. While most comments were well-wishing, one provoked the LSU graduate.
In response to a comment disparaging her relationship with Paul Skenes, Dunne exhorted the commenter to "leave Miss Tua out of this."
The comment was in reference to a video that has been making the rounds on social media lately.
The day before these pictures were taken, Skenes and the Pirates faced the Tampa Bay Rays at PNC Park. After surrendering a home run to Yandy Diaz on the first pitch of the game, the Skenes rallied and struck out eight over the next seven innings without allowing another run.
Olivia Dunne shares getting nervous while watching Paul Skenes from stands
Since he made his MLB debut in May, Olivia Dunne has been to most of the games featuring her boyfriend at PNC Park. The New Jersey-born Dunne mentioned getting nervous while watching her boyfriend pitch at games. However, she said she has channeled it into excitement now.
"I had some nerves creep in at first, but I've kind of channeled it into excitement rather than nerves, and I just have the most confidence in him ever. I just trust in him, and what he's put in, and I'm just so excited," Dunne said. [via Sportsnet Pittsburgh].
Originally from New Jersey, Dunne enrolled at Louisiana State University in 2020, where she competed on the Varsity Gymnastics Team. While she originally uploaded images on her social media to show off her various routines, her following soon ballooned, and Dunne now boasts millions of followers.
She met her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, when they were both studying at LSU. Skenes was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with their first overall pick in the 2023 draft. He also inked a $9.2 million signing bonus with the team.
