Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne makes feelings known about her last practice day in LSU
LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne recently reflected on her final practice with the Tigers. The No. 1-ranked Tigers are coming off a win at the 2025 Penn State Regional and are now set to compete for the NCAA championship.
This will be Olivia Dunne’s final season competing for LSU, as 2025 marks the end of her NCAA eligibility. On Monday, she shared her emotions about her last practice day in a clip on social media.
“How can this be our last practice🥲, " she captioned it.
The reel featured her teammate Haleigh Bryant. The video featured Dunne in an LSU gymnastics T-shirt and shorts, saying to Bryant:
“Bye I will see you at practice tomorrow”
Haleigh Bryant replied:
“Liv this is our last practice ever”
The duo then shared a hug before walking off playfully.
Last year, Dunne was a part of the LSU Tigers team that won the NCAA title.
This year, the Tigers will face the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans, No. 4 UCLA Bruins, and No. 5 Utah Utes, with the top two teams advancing to the national championship encounter.
Meanwhile, Dunne’s boyfriend, Paul Skenes, has performed well for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 2025 season. His most recent outing came on Monday when the Pirates defeated the Washington Nationals 10-3.
Skenes pitched six innings, allowing three hits and two runs while striking out six.
Olivia Dunne shares her favorite memory with Paul Skenes after his Pirates debut
Paul Skenes made his major league debut in May against the Chicago Cubs. Reflecting on that moment, Olivia Dunne said:
"I have so many amazing memories with him, but I know how hard he’s worked for this moment. All the hours, I just know what a hard worker he is. This is probably one of my favorite moments I’ve ever seen. Seriously, there is nothing that can top this. I’m just so proud."
So far this season, Skenes has posted a 2-1 record with a 2.96 ERA over 24.1 innings pitched across four starts. The Pirates will wrap up their series with the Washington Nationals on Tuesday at PNC Park.
