The LSU Tigers had a stellar year in 2024, as they won their very first NCAA Gymnastics Championships title after recording an impressive score of 198.225 points. They bested California and Utah, who recorded scores of 197.850 and 197.800 points, respectively. LSU Tigers will look to defend their title and Dunne's return to the team will help their chances.


Olivia Dunne opened up about her relationship with Paul Skenes

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in October 2024, Olivia Dunne spoke about her relationship with Paul Skenes and mentioned why they share a great chemistry.

Emphasizing how she and Skenes have opposite natures, she said:

"I feel like we're like yin and yang. I love doing social media and I enjoy being in the spotlight, (while) he doesn't even have social media on his phone. He doesn't like social media at all. We're just very opposite and I feel like it really works," Dunne said.

The couple met for the first time at the Louisiana State University's campus via mutual friends. In an interview with Today in November this year, the gymnast revealed how she used to 'see him around' and was the first to follow him watching him at a baseball match.

"I would kind of see him around and I was like, ‘Who is this tall guy — this tall mysterious man,’” Dunne recalled. "I literally had no clue who he was, but I would just see him around."

In July 2023, Olivia shared a TikTok video of herself cheering at a baseball game while wearing a jersey with Skene's number, which sparked rumors about the two of them dating.

Shortly after, the MLB pitcher confirmed their relationship in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Following this, the two spent the holidays together in December of the same year and shared glimpses of their time via their social media handle.
