Olivia Dunne recently attended the College World Series baseball matches in Omaha alongside her boyfriend Paul Skenes and sister Julz. After the event, Skenes shared some snaps of the trio’s outing with a subtle jab and both the gymnast and her sibling were quick to respond.

Dunne is one of the best known collegiate gymnasts of all-time. The youngster competed for the LSU Tigers between 2020 and 2025, while amassing a large following on social media that made her the highest paid female NIL athlete. While Dunne retired from gymnastics earlier this year, she recently extended her support to her alma mater as she attended the Tigers’ baseball game in Nebraska.

After the match, Olivia Dunne’s boyfriend and MLB star Paul Skenes took to his Instagram to share snaps from their time in Omaha, writing,

“Just a fan.”

Reacting to the caption, Dunne commented,

“Incognito king.”

Meanwhile, Dunne's elder sister, Julz, added,

“From throwing pictures to throwing back jello shots.”

Dunne and Skenes first met when they were both student-athletes for Louisiana State University. While the former has now called time on her sporting career, her boyfriend is currently competing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the MLB.

Olivia Dunne retired from gymnastics in April earlier this year, after the LSU Tigers were unable to make it past the semifinals of the national championships. Since her retirement, the 22-year-old has been busy exploring new adventures.

In her most recent outing at the College World Series in Omaha, Dunne donned a unique t-shirt that represented both LSU and Paul Skenes. In a conversation with Hurrdat Sports, the former gymnast opened up about her reasoning behind coming to Omaha and the custom jersey, explaining,

“When I came (to Omaha) in 2023, it was one of the best experiences ever. It was so much fun. So I had to come back, support the Tigers. Also, I had to rep the Tigers and also Paul. It (attending the CWS in Omaha) was just a no brainer for me.”

Dunne went on to reflect a little on watching her boyfriend make his way from college to the MLB, saying,

“Watching him go from college, through the minors, to the MLB has been, honestly, such a dream. So fun to watch. It all happened so fast. I’m telling all my teammates right now that are dating the players here, on the LSU team in Oklahoma, I'm telling them to savor every memory, because I don't know if anything really tops Omaha, because it's so fun here.”

As a gymnast, Olivia Dunne accomplished various feats, including winning the 2024 National Championships alongside the LSU Tigers. Since retiring, the American has ventured into the world of modelling, making an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit magazine.
