In Photos: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne serves up all-American vibes while cooling it off with a fizzy drink in the sun
Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne has been running busy of late. Her new documentary "The Money Game" premiered on Sept. 10 and ever since, she has been busy with its promotional activities while also preparing for her fifth and final season with the LSU Tigers.
On the other hand, Paul Skenes is close to ending his rookie year with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The ace pitcher has been phenomenal this year, going 10-3 with 2.07 ERA. With the Pirates not making the postseason, the rookie will be at home when baseball peaks in October and November.
Amid all the busy stuff, Olivia Dunne took some time under the sun, rocking an All-American swimsuit and a fizzy drink. She uploaded a few snaps on her social media feed on Friday. In one of the snaps, she was with her pup, Roux.
Olivia Dunne shares the negative side of being a social media star
The LSU gymnast enjoys an immense social media following, with 5.1 million followers alone on Instagram. However, this fame has a negative side to it. Some fans often tend to take it too far, as Olivia Dunne revealed one incident where a fan asked for her bathwater.
"You know what I had for a really long time in my comment section was people ask me for my bath water," Dunne told LSU basketball star Flau'jae Johnson on Best of Both Worlds podcast (20:00). "I was like what has my life come to, these people begging for bath water but it's kind of settled down at this point but that was a crazy one that I'll never forget."
Dunne also spoke about the recent trolling she faced after the premiere of "The Money Game." She said many don't consider gymnastics a sport, while others don't think Dunne deserves anything.
"One of the thing that annoys me the most, especially on like the Money Game docu series posts that I post on my feed and on my TikTok and people being like she doesn't deserve anything she has and gymnastics isn't a real sport," Dunne added.
The LSU gymnast will be in action this fall as she joins Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova to defend the NCAA title they won in April.
