Earlier in the day, Dunne, who celebrated her 21st birthday last month, posted a mirror selfie of herself from LSU’s gymnastics facility.

She showed off her game day outfit as she posed in a white romper which was pinned to her chest at the very front with a purple ‘Geaux’ button.

Dunne also enjoyed a tailgate with her gymnastics teammates before the football game and shared a photo of the athletes with her story.

Skenes, who is a rising baseball talent and was picked first in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates, confirmed in August that he and Dunne were an item and made an impassioned plea to fans to give her space when she attend his matches.

Rumors of the payment swirled, but speculation intensified when she was spotted at his debut for the Bradenton Marauders in August.

Speaking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he opened up about their relationship, saying: ‘It’s fun for sure. It can sometimes be a pain in the butt, to be honest, in terms of actually going anywhere.

“If one of us went out alone in Baton Rouge, there would probably be someone asking for something — photo, autograph, whatever.

‘It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it. I wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It annoys me.

‘I have no control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it will get better as I level up, but it’s something I want for her.’

Dunne’s meteoric rise to fame means she can’t attend her classes in person at LSU.

In July, she told Elle: ‘There have been some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible. I don’t want people to know what my daily schedule is and where I am.’

Skenes, a pitcher, signed a record $9.2 million deal with the Pirates after being selected first in the MLB draft.

Dunne, meanwhile, already has an estimated wealth of around $2.3 million due to a number of endorsement deals.

Her fame rose greatly this year due to these deals. She also appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
