Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes's girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is finding it hard to move on from the SEC Championships.

Recently, the No.2 seeded LSU gymnastics team celebrated a huge victory by winning the SEC Championships with a record-breaking score of 198.200.

Even though Dunne didn’t compete in the final regular season meet due to injury, she supported her team from courtside. The 22-year-old cherished her final moments with the LSU Tigers as her final college season came to an end.

On Saturday, the senior gymnast posted a TikTok video of her and the LSU Tigers team celebrating their SEC Championship win with a Taylor Swift song.

The video begins with the lyrics “Everybody moved on, but I’m still here.” It clearly shows that Livvy Dunne is still reliving the historic moment that probably was one of the most important days of her career.

The LSU gymnastics team will compete in the NCAA Championship in Fort Worth, Texas from April 17-19. So Dunne will soon have to move on from the win and focus on the next chapter of her career.

Dunne, who was sporting a black Pirates baseball cap, posted several photos on her Instagram story, including a selfie with Aly Raisman the Olympic gymnast and Xandra Pohl, the music artist sitting in their seats smiling.

“Big Paul fans.” She wrote

The LSU gymnast posted another photo of Raisman, the three-time Olympics gold medallist with Skenes.

“Too much [GOAT] in one photo,” Dunne captioned.

The Pirates started the 2025 season with a four-game series against the Miami Marlins on March 27.

In a recent interview with MLB.com, Skenes expressed his thoughts after the opening game against the Miami Marlins.

"Yeah, I mean, pretty damn good start,” Skenes said. “I got a little sloppy there at the end. Just gotta execute a little quicker in that sixth inning. Other than that, I was pretty happy with it." He said.

Pittsburgh Pirates trails by 1-2 in the four-game series against the Marlins. The Pirates will play the final game today.

About the author

Abirami Vadivelu is a baseball journalist at Sportskeeda with an MA in communication.

She discovered an appreciation for baseball fairly recently and has been drawn to the LA Dodgers due to the obvious skill of some of their big-name players. There's a reason why key stars like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts are household names, and Abi enjoyed following them on their journey to World Series glory in 2024.

Shohei Ohtani gets the nod as Abi's favorite player. His incredibly high levels of pitching and hitting separate him from even the most talented players in the crowd, as seen by his history-making 50/50 in 2024.

Abi got into baseball due to her interest in the pop side of the MLB, particularly fashion and lifestyle, and has developed an over-arching appreciation for the sport.

When not watching or writing about baseball, Abi's hobbies include photography and cooking.
