"He was like, 'Damn'" - Olivia Dunne shares boyfriend Paul Skenes' reaction to her latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit photoshoot

LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne was in attendance at the launch of the 60th Anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, in which she is featured. The event was held at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York last Friday and moved to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida over the weekend.

While on the red carpet, Dunne was asked about her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes' reaction to seeing pictures of the shoot, to which she replied:

​

​

"I’m pretty sure he said, ‘Damn.' He was like, ‘Damn.'"

Dunne has over 7 million followers on Instagram and TikTok.

In an interview in April, she said that being a part of the SI launch event was a dream come true.

"There’s a lot of young girls who look up to me, and I feel like a lot of young girls also follow Sports Illustrated," said Dunne in an interview.

Dunne has been spotted at Paul Skenes' games. In the game between the Pirates and the Giants, she rocked Pittsburgh colors at PNC Park to cheer her boyfriend.

Paul Skenes has made a good start to the season. He has struck out 21 players so far and has an ERA of 2.25.

Olivia Dunne's "good read" while in the airport

In an Instagram story, Dunne was spotted at the airport, decked out in Pittsburgh Pirates gear. But the real eye-catcher was her chosen airport read, which was the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

"Always a good read." Dunne captioned one of the photos on her story.
