PHOTO: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne shares image of summer getaway visit in Los Cabos, Mexico

Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, has been busy for the last few weeks, with many big events taking place in her life. It includes winning the NCAA championship in Fort Worth in April, attending Skenes' major league debut and also doing promotional activities for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 2024 edition, where she's featured for the second time.

Amid that, Dunne found time to relax in Los Cabos, Mexico, for a well-deserved getaway from her busy schedule. On Sunday, she shared a social media update where she tagged the location with her spending time on the beach.

Olivia Dunne was at PNC Park on Friday to attend Paul Skenes' third big league start, which was against the San Francisco Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher had another terrific outing, throwing six innings, allowing only one hit and one run.

Olivia Dunne shares Paul Skenes' one-word response on her SI Swimsuit photos

Off the field, Dunne modeled for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 2024 edition to celebrate the magazine's 60th anniversary. When a reporter asked Livvy about Paul Skenes' reaction to her SI photoshoot, she shared:

"He was like, ‘Damn.’"

She also went on to mention how featuring on the SI issue was a "dream come true" for her and that the magazine perfectly aligns with the common goal of inspiring youth.

"There’s a lot of young girls who look up to me, and I feel like a lot of young girls also follow Sports Illustrated," Dunne said. "So, both of our brands, I think, align because we both want to inspire the younger generation."

Both Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne know each other from their LSU days. For the college itself, the duo has done a lot in their individual sports. Skenes won the College World Series for LSU, while Dunne claimed the NCAA title last month.

Now both have left college to realize their professional ambitions while staying supportive of each other, as evidenced by Dunne's regular presence at Paul Skenes' games.
