WATCH: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne lip-syncs to Dance Moms on bus with LSU gymnastics teammates
Now in her final year at LSU, this season is bittersweet for Olivia Dunne. On one hand, the starlet will be graduating and moving on with her career. On the other hand, goodbyes await between Dunne and her teammates on the LSU gymnastics team.
A well-known social media influencer, Dunne gave her followers a fun glimpse of the inner workings of her team. Captured on a bus, Dunne and her friends lip-synced some lines from "Dance Moms."
A native of New Jersey, Olivia Dunne began to gain notoriety on social media in early 2020 when she began posting videos of her routines online. Soon thereafter, Dunne's popularity exploded, and she now boasts millions of followers across her various social platforms.
Since August 2023, Dunne has been in a relationship with Paul Skenes. Skenes, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates with their first overall pick in 2023, went 11-3 with a 1.91 ERA this season and is a contender for the NL Rookie of the Year Award.

Through her various online business ventures, Olivia Dunne has become far richer than the average 22-year-old. Dunne was reportedly paid around $50,000 for making a single social media post in 2023 (per MSN).
With that said, the experience of being a celebrity has not always been positive for Livvy Dunne. The gymnast-turned-internet star has claimed that she no longer attends in-person classes at LSU and requires a full-time security detail when she travels in public.

Dunne's digital success, coupled with that of Skenes on the mound this season, rendered the young pair among the most popular couples in sports. As New Orleans Saints coach Darren Rizzi said on "The Pat McAfee Show":
"I got to get Livvy [Dunne] and Paul [Skenes] down to the Superdome. Here's an open invitation right now, Livvy and Paul. Let's get you down to the Superdome this Sunday and get you part of the action."
Being a famous couple, fans are waiting to see when the two will make their next public appearance.
