Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne enjoys sun-kissed butterfly chase by Georgia's Lake Oconee

Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is enjoying her best life, vacationing at scenic venues, following her retirement from gymnastics earlier this year.

The former LSU Tigers gymnast concluded her collegiate journey in April and called time on her career. Since then, she has shared pictures from her scenic getaways from several destinations.

In her Instagram story on Friday, Dunne shared snaps from her time at Lake Oconee, Georgia. She was accompanied by her friend Hayden Sample. Dunne, who wore a blue bikini in the pictures, shared a clip of butterflies from her getaway, captioning it with a blue butterfly emoji.

Olivia Dunne keeps her fans updated about her whereabouts on social media. In an Instagram reel earlier this week, Dunne called out her followers for spamming the comments of her vacation pictures by asking about Paul Skenes.

"Every night, at dinner, I'll be there. Every birthday party, I'll be there. Every Christmas, I'll be there," the audio in the clip read with Skenes' pictures highlighted in the comments of Dunne's posts.

She captioned the clip:

"Y'all 😭 🙏🏽."

Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne agreed with Taylor Swift's joke about NFL fans

While Olivia Dunne often gets asked about Paul Skenes by baseball fans, pop legend Taylor Swift addressed male fans in the NFL on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast this week.

Swift has been frequently shown on broadcasts ever since she started dating the Kansas City Chiefs star, much to the frustration of a section of supporters who felt the focus should be on the action on the field.

Swift joked about the matter on Wednesday:

"You know, you guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast and uhm... I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see, in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me."

Olivia Dunne agreed with Swift's joke, sharing the clip on her Instagram story and writing:

"She gets it."

With Paul Skenes contending for the NL Cy Young award for a second consecutive season, Dunne is likely to get more attention from MLB fans in the coming weeks.
