Olivia Dunne discussed how being opposites with Paul Skenes helps their relationship work well
Last month, Dunne opened up about her relationship with Skenes and how it works well between them. In an interview with People, Dunne said:
“I feel like we’re like yin and yang. I love doing social media and I enjoy being in the spotlight… He doesn’t even have social media on his phone. He doesn’t like social media at all. We’re just very opposite and I feel like it really works.”
“I think that we play off of one another and make each other better. Paul definitely holds me accountable, which I really appreciate. Sometimes it’s hard to find it within yourself to do things.
Dunne also praised Skenes' work ethic and feels his advice has helped her become a better athlete.
Skenes and Dunne went public with their relationship in August of last year. Skenes is coming off his rookie season with an 11-3 record in 23 starts, recording a 1.96 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 170 strikeouts.
