WATCH: Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne channels inner Santa in red to deliver luxe Christmas surprise to LSU friend

Christmas is not that far away and Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne is already bringing smiles. Dunne is enjoying the final year of her college gymnastics, after announcing her return to the program in July. Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova are also returning along with Dunne for their final seasons with the Lady Tigers.

On Sunday night, Dunne hosted her LSU teammates in a festive red outfit, preparing to host a holiday-themed "girls' night." The video she shared on social media starts with her in a modern kitchen with trays of food, drinks, and other items for a cozy gathering.

Dunne emulated her inner Santa and gifted her junior LSU teammate Ashley Cowan with a black handbag with gold "GG" branding, which suggests it could be a Gucci product. Cowan, surprised and elated upon receiving the gift from her senior, went on to hug her.

Olivia Dunne strictly keeps it business when she is in the gym for training. The social media star is one of the highest-paid college athletes, boasting NIL deals worth $4.2 million. However, she never flaunts her immense social media following nor chit-chats much about it when she's in the LSU gym.

In June 2023, when she was at the On3 NIL Elite Series in Nashville, she revealed the atmosphere in the locker room, which strictly observes no mention of “brand deals” and “NIL."

"When I’m in the gym, I never talk about NIL with my teammates, or at all. We talk about normal college things. When we’re in the locker room, it’s normal locker room talk,” Dunne said. "It’s never about brand deals. It’s never about NIL."

“Sometimes a teammate or two will come up and ask me for advice about it… but even then, we talk about it more in-depth later on. I hope that I can [elevate everyone around me] in all aspects of my life, not just NIL— as a teammate, as a friend, and as a sister,” Dunne added.

It surely doesn't mean Olivia Dunne isn't helpful. She founded the "Livvy Dunne Foundation" to help fellow LSU female athletes land NIL deals.
