Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne turns up glamor for fun New York outing with Olivia Ponton and more

Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne is making the most of the spare time she is getting after calling time on her gymnastics career in April earlier this year. The former LSU gymnast has been enjoying her time in New York this week.

Olivia Dunne is in New York for the Fanatics Fest at Javita Center that started on Friday and will run through Sunday. While she was spotted at the event on Friday, Dunne shared a glamorous update on Saturday.

Dunne posed in a lacey black outfit in one of her Instagram stories. In a following story, she shared the frame with her girl gang, featuring sister Julz Dunne, Sophia Graves and Olivia Porton.

"NYC," Dunne captioned her story with a black heart emoji.

During the Fanatics Fest, Olivia Dunne posed in front of Paul Skenes' debut patch that was sold for a record $1.11 million at an auction in April via Fanatics Collect.

The one-of-a-kind card featured the patch worn by Skenes on his MLB debut. The card was in high demand after the Pirates' ace was crowned the NL Rookie of the Year, thanks to a historic debut season.
