Fact Check: Is Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne? Examining the connection between LSU's brightest young athletes

Fans have begun speculating about Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne. The two LSU athletes have taken the world by storm, with Skenes leading his team to within one game of knocking off national No. 1 seed Wake Forest for a spot in the College World Series final this weekend.

He will be on the mound tonight in a win-or-go-home game. If he does well, will he be congratulated by Olivia Dunne? Rumors of the gymnast getting together with Paul Skenes have gone wild.

However, there is no evidence of a relationship at this time. They're two of the most prominent college athletes right now and are on top of their game. They happen to go to the same school as well. That may be the only real connection they have.
