Olivia Dunne recently reflected on her relationship with her boyfriend Paul Skenes, stating that they both are successful because of the freedom they ensure to each other when it comes to giving professional support. She further stated that she enjoys watching Skenes' game as she understands his efforts, being a former athlete.

"We don't restrict each other from doing things," she said. "I've been in relationships in the past like that — where it's almost like you have a leash on you, you can't do anything."

"But he has a job to do and I have a job to do — I know that's so important for two young kids in a relationship to realize," she continued. "So yeah, we just have a good time and it's a two-way road. I'm trying to go to as many baseball games as I can. I really just enjoy watching him and he's always on the go. He's an athlete, so I get it. I get the grind."

Olivia Dunne is now seen maximizing on non-gymnastics opportunities.
