Olivia Dunne expressed anticipation over her and her boyfriend Paul Skenes' special appearance as guest pickers on ESPN GameDay when LSU will head-on with Alabama. After returning for an extra year of eligibility, Dunne will soon start her 2025 season at LSU.
The couple's story sparked in Baton Rouge through mutual friends when Dunne's gymnastics and Skenes' MLB careers were in full swing. The couple's relationship first became public in August 2023, when the latter revealed the pros and cons of dating in the spotlight to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Since then, the athletic pair frequently posted about their dating life, including vacations, time with the gymnast's pet Roux, and event appearances.
Ahead of Olivia Dunne's final season at LSU, the couple will make another special appearance, joining the panel on ESPN's College GameDay to predict game outcomes on November 9, 2024. Their new role as guest pickers prompted the 22-year-old to express excitement and invite fans through her Instagram story.
