Influencer Olivia Dunne, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, loves to wear a bathing suit, and she loves to swim around. The former LSU gymnast and the girlfriend of Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes posted a clip of herself enjoying another dip in the pool with a friend, Mandy Eastwood, who is the fiancee of another Pirates pitcher, Hunter Barco.
“a midnight dip @mandyeastwood,” she wrote in her Instagram Stories caption.
In that clip, Dunne was wearing a lilac two-piece bikini, and she jumped into the pool after a running start with Eastwood, who got engaged to Barco last year. Much like Dunne, Eastwood has been very supportive of her partner and is often seen cheering him on during Pirates games and practices.
As for Dunne, she has now left LSU and did not pursue her gymnastics career any further. However, she is now an influencer and has also been a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model since 2023. She started modeling after she suffered a patella fracture that forced her to miss participating in several competitions and has stayed a model for the magazine ever since.
Before leaving gymnastics, she had an estimated NIL valuation of $3.3 million, which came along with her TikTok stardom and her massive NIL deals with companies like American Eagle. She often flies out to Caribbean countries to have swimsuit photoshoots with Sports Illustrated, the most recent being Bermuda. During her college career, she was considered one of the highest-earning college athletes in terms of NIL.
What Olivia Dunne Said in Terms of Her Relationship With Paul Skenes
Olivia Dunne is known for being genuine in her support of her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, with herself going viral over her sweating and looking tense and worried during a very close game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Red. The Pirates ultimately won on the road, with people noticing how sweaty Dunne got while worrying about the Pirates, who were still contending for a Playoffs spot at that time.
In an interview with People magazine back in June, she opened up about her relationship with the pitcher:
“We don’t restrict each other from doing things,” she said. “I’ve been in relationships in the past like that — where it’s almost like you have a leash on you, you can’t do anything. But he has a job to do and I have a job to do — I know that’s so important for two young kids in a relationship to realize. So yeah, we just have a good time and it’s a two-way road.”
The Pirates were ultimately eliminated from playoff contention, but she is still very much supportive of Skenes.
