Power Couple: Paul Skenes Confirms He's Dating LSU Gym Star Olivia Dunne

By Staff Reporter•Aug 18, 202310:53 am•

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Rumors have been floating around lately that former LSU star pitcher and No. 1 MLB Draft pick Paul Skenes is dating LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne.

Skenes confirmed those rumors during a recent interview with Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

quote:
“It’s nice, for sure,” Skenes said. “It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere. If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever.

“It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.”

Skenes also talked about how the two met.

quote:
The two started dating, Skenes said, because his best friend at LSU was dating Dunne’s roommate and regular TikTok sidekick, Elena Marenas.

“Just a small-world type of thing,” Skenes said.

I'll bet he's helping with her floor exercises.

Now y’all need to let these folks be able to go to mike Andersons without bothering them.

Qualifies as a subtle brag? I dunno. Has she come out yet? Not a good look, him copping first. She's going to ruin him in short order. Patooty fever is a helluva drug.

jafari rastaman•38 months

This feels like she is hooking up with him to help her social media following and maybe snag an NIL deal out of it.

baldona•38 months

She hasn’t even announced it, but I’m sure you are right

Beta men on this site - that’s for sure

She’s another dime a dozen selling her body. Because she can. It pays to sell yourself. Too many betas pay for it.

“Baton Rouge (La)”
—-what, so as not to confuse it with Baton Rouge, (Mongolia)?

Ain't there a Baton Rouge in Iowa...hahaha?

The go-to pitch of their off-spring will be the screw ball.

High five, man

Davy•38 months

And great for recruiting.

TigerDM•38 months

They are polar opposites as far as social media is concerned. At least neither has to worry about the other spending all of their money

“ that’s something I want for her.”

Damn bro…invested quickly.

Davy•38 months

Yeah you still better be cool

blueboy•38 months

She'll lose a lot of simp money over this. Never tell the simps that you're spoken for.

"I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either."

A number 1 draft pick really does NOT have much control over the media frenzy. A college gymnast? She has 100% control. She CHOSE to be a social media "influencer" in addition to being an athlete.

Tigers4Lyfe•38 months

You're confused. Her profession is a social media influencer.

financetiger38•38 months

This dude will argue with a brick wall

AggieHank86•38 months

Maybe. But she is the person who buys a house near the airport and then complains about the noise.

She's gonna be the new Kate Upton of Major League Baseball.
