Paul Skenes outlines the difficulties of dating Olivia Dunne

Before he transferred to the LSU Tigers, Paul Skenes played for the United States Air Force Academy where he was team captain. He met Olivia Dunne through a roommate at LSU when both were student-athletes.

Skenes recently outlined the difficulties of dating Olivia Dunne to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

"If one of us went out in Baton Rouge 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," Skenes said. "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 revealed that he was not on social media a lot like his girlfriend and he explained how the negativity affects them.

"I wasn't on it (social media) during the season because it's toxic. When you see something positive about you or something negative, it doesn't matter," Skenes said. "There's no substance to it. It can't help."

He continued:

"It's worse for her. I've told her, 'People are gonna write about you. People are gonna write about me. If it rattles you, if it makes you upset, you gotta find a way to either not see it or not get upset over it.' In my mind, it's a lot easier to not see it than not get upset over it."

Paul Skenes highlights modern-day social media being one of the factors that will always have an impact on their relationship.
