In August 2023, Paul Skenes confirmed his relationship with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne. At the same time, he asked fans to respect Dunne's privacy and give her space when she attends baseball games. Dunne was recently spotted in the stands watching Skenes as he made his debut for the Bradenton Marauders.

The two were then seen together at the LSU-Arkansas game and posted a picture on Instagram.

Fans were quick to react on social media:

Skenes, 21, was drafted out of LSU with the first pick in the 2023 MLB draft.

Dunne, meanwhile, is an artistic gymnast and an extremely popular social media personality. As a former USA national team member and a current member of the LSU Tigers women's gymnastics team, she is the highest-valued women's college athlete.
