Former LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne might not be winning awards for the Tigers anymore, but she is still involved in the athletic world. Notably, she has become famous as a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated. Additionally, she is known for her relationship with star Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.
Skenes has quickly become one of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball despite only going pro in 2024. He is viewed as one of the best players in the league, but despite his best efforts, the Pirates were unable to qualify for the 2025 MLB playoffs. The team has its last game of the season on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. In anticipation of the end of the season, Olivia Dunne made an Instagram post with her season highlights.
“2025 szn highlight reel,” Olivia Dunne wrote.

Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates will finish the season at the bottom of the National League Central standings. Only two teams will be behind them in the National League at the end of the season: the Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies. The Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox in the American League will also finish with fewer wins.

After Paul Skenes’ MLB debut last year, Dunne admitted that she is often nervous while watching him play.
“I always say, it’s way harder to be the person in the stands watching because I’m not in control,” Olivia Dunne said. “I can’t control—I don’t know how to throw a 100-mile fastball, but it’s hard to have no control. Especially with gymnastics when you’re just watching. But I know he’s got this and I just have a lot of confidence in him.”
Even though Skenes is an all-star in the MLB, it does not look like Dunne has gotten any more comfortable watching him play.
