Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne turns up the glamour in white & purple leotard and face tattoo in PMAC selfie
Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne tasted glory with the LSU Tigers gymnastics team in April, as the Tigers won their maiden NCAA title in collegiate history. Two months later, the 22-year old silenced all the rumors, as she announced competing with the Tigers gymnastics for a fifth straight year.
PMAC has been the home of the LSU Tigers for 42 years, and they have maintained a healthy home record over the years. Ahead of the exhibition event, Olivia Dunne shared a lively selfie from the locker room in white and purple leotard and a 'LSU' face tattoo. The caption on the social media post read:
"Let's Geaux."
The LSU squad is gearing up for 'Gym 101', an exhibition event in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Monday ahead of their opening day clash with Iowa State at home in Baton Rouge on Jan. 3.
Just like Livvy, her boyfriend and Pirates rookie ace, Paul Skenes has also won a NCAA championship with the Tigers. He won the College World Series with LSU last year and was also named the College World Series MVP.
Skenes made his MLB debut with the Pirates in May and proved to be a dominant force on the mound. He finished his rookie season with 11 wins and three losses, 1.96 ERA, 170 strikeouts and 0.95 WHIP.
Throughout his season, Paul Skenes had a familiar face in the crowd, which was Olivia Dunne. She spectated and cheered for him through his starts at home in PNC Park. She attended the Midsummer Classic with her sister Julz at Globe Life Field in July.

In an interview with the PEOPLE, Dunne reflected on what traits the duo shares from their sporting backgrounds and how they tend to make each other better.
"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," said Olivia Dunne
She also complemented Paul Skenes on his work ethic, saying:
"I feel like his work ethic is something I've never seen before. It's very cool to hear his advice for me, and I feel like that made me a better athlete last year."
Dunne and Skenes had crossed paths for the first time on the grounds of LSU campus in 2022 and have been dating each other since then.
