LSU's Flau'jae Johnson hails Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes for their "power couple" move

LSU Tigers guard Flau'jae Johnson had a 'you love love' moment on Thursday's 'Best of Both Worlds' podcast episode with Olivia Dunne. When talking about their first experience on a private jet, the Tigers gymnast shared that her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, charters a plane for her on busy weekends.

Dunne explained that sometimes she gets busy with school and gymnastics and flying commercial with connecting flights would be tiresome. To save her time and energy, Skenes flies her to the city where he's playing. After listening to this, Johnson said:

"See, you know, that sound like a power couple to me. I don't know, that's crazy."

Olivia Dunne also shared how she met Paul Skenes during his time at Louisiana State University. Rumors of the two dating first began in June 2023 when Dunne was seen in Skenes' jersey, cheering from the stands. They confirmed their relationship in August.

"I would kind of see him around and I was like, 'Who is this tall guy, like tall mysterious man?'", Dunne said. "I literally had no clue who he was, but I would just see him around and then during baseball season, he wasn't even playing that game. ... I was just sitting there in the stands with my friends."

Dunne said she found Skenes, who didn't have his trademark mustache yet, cute. They then started to hang out and their romance blossomed from there.

Olivia Dunne shares her plans for her post-college life

In July, Olivia Dunne announced that she would be returning to LSU for her fifth and final season. After winning the 2024 NCAA championship, the pressure is on the Tigers to repeat their success.

However, Flau'jae Johnson focused on Dunne's post-college life, asking her about her plans. (Start at 17:31)

"I think for me, keep doing NIL and stay in the NIL space," she said. "It is something that I would love to do because I now have so much knowledge about it. I've been doing it for four years now and I finally think I got it down. I think I understand it and balancing it with everything."

Olivia Dunne also added that her dream is to be able to guide upcoming female athletes about the scope of NIL and how they can capitalize on it.
