Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is a popular social media personality. Dunne boasts over five million followers on Instagram and over eight million on TikTok.
She usually posts content related to her various professional commitments and day-to-day life as a gymnast. On Saturday, she took to Instagram to post a snap featuring two other athletes, her boyfriend Paul Skenes and LSU teammate Haleigh Bryant.
"so much 🐐 in one photo," Dunne captioned her Instagram story.
Bryant and Dunne won the 2024 NCAA women's gymnastics title together, in what was Dunne's senior year. The 22-year-old, however, extended her stay at LSU for an extra year, which gives the friends another year of sharing the locker room, with 2025 being Bryant's senior year.
Already one of the finest teams in the country, and with more exciting talent like Olympic gold medalist Hezly Rivera set to join the program, LSU will be backing itself to repeat its exploits from last season.
Olivia Dunne celebrates Paul Skenes' Rookie of the Year award win
Paul Skenes enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season in the big leagues in 2024, ending the campaign with an 11-3 record, 1.96 ERA, and 170 strikeouts. For many of Skenes' home games, Olivia Dunne was a regular at PNC Park. Dunne was right by Skenes' side once again on Thursday, as the 22-year-old was announced as the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year.
Dunne later took to Instagram to post a series of snaps from the joyous day.
"that was cool," Olivia Dunne captioned her Instagram post.
With the baseball season now done and dusted, Skenes can focus on some well-deserved rest. Baseball returns in the new year, with spring training set to begin in February, as the Pirates ace looks to follow up an excellent 2024 with more of the same.
