Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes began dating sometime in 2023, and have been fairly public about their relationship. In a recent interview with ESPN, the gymnast opened up about the couple's 'dynamic,' calling it ‘special.'

“Our relationship is a very special dynamic because I'm here in college right now, and he's in the MLB. Which is kind of crazy because he's so young, and I think that we learn from one another. I teach him things that maybe he wouldn't know, and he teaches me things that make me a better athlete,” she said.

Dunne went on to explain that Skenes’ mindset and discipline has ‘rubbed off’ on her, saying,

“I just think his mindset is really what makes him such a great athlete. So I mean he's very disciplined at such a young age and I think that's rubbed off on me, which I think is great.”

Speaking on watching Skenes live in action, Dunne added,

“It was so special. I mean to be able to go to the games with my family, his family, and seeing him throw 100 miles an hour in person is actually mind-blowing. I don't know how he does it, but he's really good at it and I love to watch.”

As of now, while Paul Skenes wows the MLB as a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Olivia Dunne is competing in her final year for LSU as the Tigers try to defend their National Championships.
