Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne enjoys 'lunch with a view' of her Pirates rookie boyfriend
Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne has been attending the LSU Tigers' football games this season. On Saturday, the Tigers hosted the UCLA Bruins in Week 4 of college football action. Dunne, along with her fellow gymnastics teammates, were in attendance to cheer for the Baton Rouge team.
While there, Dunne was in the Tigers' facility, where a poster of Skenes pitching for LSU in the 2023 College World Series was hanging. Skenes, who was picked first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, pitched for LSU last season as the team went on to win the College World Series.
Dunne shared the snap of that pictorial while having lunch.
"Lunch w a view," she wrote in her story.
She also added snaps from the game. In one of them, she was with her friend and LSU Gymnastics member Lexi Zeiss. She also clicked a selfie with Alyona Shchennikova and Kai Rivers from the game.
Olivia Dunne on "life after college," wishes to help female college athletes in NIL space
The NCAA brought in a rule change in 2021, which allowed college athletes to earn from the commercial use of their name, image and likeness. And there has been no female athlete that has perfectly nailed the new college NIL landscape that LSU Tigers gymnast and social media star Olivia Dunne.
Dunne, who was covered on the new documentary "The Money Game," was on LSU baller Flau'jae Johnson's "Best of Both Worlds" podcast last week.
Among the many topics the duo talked about was "life after college." And for Livvy, who is in her fifth and final year in college, she will continue to work in the NIL space and help future female athletes get opportunities.
"For me, staying in the NIL space is something I would love to do because I now have so much knowledge about it" Dunne said (17:00 onwards). "This is my fifth year back, and I've been doing it for four years now. I finally think I've got it down—I understand it, and I’ve learned to balance it with everything.
"I know how confusing that can be, especially for girls, because there aren't a lot of NIL opportunities in women's athletics. So, being able to provide knowledge and help other girls out is a dream of mine."
Olivia Dunne has established "The Livvy Fund," which helps female college athletes at LSU get opportunities through her vast network.
