WATCH: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne's viral hair flip moment perfectly captures awkwardness of seeing high school friends at local bar
Like many, Olivia Dunne has undergone some drastic changes and development since her high school days. However, unlike many, it only took her a few years after graduation to become a millionaire.
In early 2020, the LSU gymnast rose to prominence after posting videos of her gymnastics routines on social media. Before long, Dunne was attracting millions of views and has since exploded into one of the premier influencers around today.
In a post on TikTok, Olivia Dunne jokingly depicted the scenario of walking into a bar in her hometown seeing all of her old friends. However, Dunne added that she was homeschooled, adding a streak of comical irony to the skit.
Here's the video:
A native of New Jersey, Dunne was homeschooled from the age of 14. After finishing her studies, she enrolled at Louisiana State University, where she has since been an anchor of the school's gymnastics team.
Last summer, Olivia Dunne revealed that she and Pittsburgh Pirates first overall draft pick Paul Skenes were in a relationship. An LSU alumni himself, Dunne was in attendance when Skenes and his teammates won the College World Series in 2023.

Although her career started out with a focus on gymnastics, as her following grew, so too did the range of topics covered. Now boasting millions of followers across social media, Dunne's feed covers everything from fitness and lifestyle to clips of the 22 year-old goofing off with her friends.
Although her rise to fame has made her incredibly wealthy, Olivia Dunne has also suffered some adverse effects. She has claimed to no longer attend in-person lectures at LSU and employs a full-time security detail, citing concerns about her personal safety.
Olivia Dunne's exposure has been helpful to Paul Skenes
As someone who became famous at a very young age, Dunne was able to help her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, navigate all the exposure that comes with being a top rookie. As the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year told MLB.com:
“Yeah, I think so. She got to that point in her life a little bit earlier than I did. So, with the Draft and all of that, she was able to help me with those experiences"
With the couple being young, many fans cannot help but feel excited to see what heights the fame of the couple reach.
