- MLB. Olivia Dunne back to Pittsburgh to Paul Skenes after missing most recent Pirates game
- NCAA. Olivia Dunne shows off her bikini flexibility on holiday in the Hamptons
Olivia Dunne recently took a break from her usual routine, enjoying a vacation by the river with her boyfriend, MLB rookie star Paul Skenes. The 21-year-old Louisiana State gymnast and Skenes, who plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates, made the most of their downtime in Pittsburgh.
Dunne and Skenes, who met at LSU, have become a popular couple, often compared to "Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce of the MLB." Skenes has made a strong impression in his first season, and Dunne has been a frequent er, often seen at his games.
The couple spent a relaxing day by the Monongahela River, accompanied by their dog, Roux. Dunne tried fishing for the first time and shared a photo of the experience with her 5.2 million Instagram followers. She also posted a selfie from the water, while Skenes enjoyed the peaceful riverside setting.
A successful athlete
Dunne has become one of the most financially successful college athletes, thanks to various NIL deals. The New Jersey native also made waves with a recent Sports Illustrated model shoot, her second significant feature in the famous swimwear magazine.
"SI Swim means to me being comfortable in your own skin and being undeniably you, which is something I still work on to this day," Dunne told SI.
"Body image is something that a lot of girls struggle with, especially young girls.
"In the sport of gymnastics, [body image is] a huge thing, and it's something that I'm still working on to this day, being confident.
"But SI's really helped me to see that it's ok to not be perfect and to just be comfortable in your own skin."
