Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne's content creation journey

Right around the time when Covid-19 pandemic hit, she started posting gymnastics videos on TikTok, showcasing flips, training clips and even bloopers early on.

By early 2021, she amassed thousands of followers as she capitalized on the TikTok and social media boom during the pandemic.

On July 1, 2021, the NCAA’s NIL rule came into effect, allowing athletes to earn from their Name, Image and Likeness. That was the start of something big for Dunne, who went on to sign several deals with big companies.

She met her beau, Paul Skenes, at LSU two years ago, and the couple have been going strong since.
