Olivia Dunne is soaking up the final rays of summer in style. The gymnast-turned-social media superstar treated her fans to a video and a set of poolside photos – though one question quickly bubbled up: where was her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes?
After closing out her NCAA career with LSU, where she helped the Tigers claim a national championship, Dunne has shifted her focus to modeling and her booming online presence.
Between Instagram and TikTok, she now entertains a staggering 13 million followers, with every bikini snap or dance video racking up instant likes by the thousands. Add in brand deals with Vuori, Grubhub, and Bodyarmor, and Dunne is as much a businesswoman as she is an influencer.
Livvy signs off summer with a splash
On Monday, Dunne gave fans a peek into her getaway in Bridgehampton, New York, where she was joined by model friend Lily Chee.
In her Instagram Stories, the 22-year-old rocked a tiny blue bikini while lounging poolside, showing off the toned physique that made her both an NCAA standout and a social media sensation. She later switched to a chic black dress for a classy garden luncheon.
But as glamorous as the content was, fans couldn’t help but play detective: where was Paul Skenes?
The case of the missing boyfriend
The answer’s simple – the Pirates’ ace is busy anchoring his team’s rotation. On August 29, Skenes dominated the Boston Red Sox, going six innings with six strikeouts and helping Pittsburgh notch a 10-3 win.
So while Livvy enjoyed her poolside R&R, Paul was doing his own heavy lifting on the mound. Don’t worry, Pirates fans – odds are she’ll be back in the stands soon, cheering him on as the regular season winds down.
