Olivia Dunne soaked up the Louisiana sunshine Friday afternoon — a week after her team’s stunning SEC championship win.
The 21-year-old gymnast shared a bikini selfie with her five million Instagram followers and captioned the photo: “perfect day.”
Earlier this week, Dunne reunited with baseball-playing friend Paul Skenes, who had been away with the Pittsburgh Pirates during spring training. The couple started dating last year while they were both students at LSU.
The loved-up couple were back together just days after Dunne’s taste of glory last weekend.
They became conference champions this weekend after No. 3 nationally ranked LSU scored 198.075 – the most in program history – in the SEC title game in New Orleans on Saturday night.

She celebrated the Lady Tigers’ fifth crown with her teammates, as seen in photos and footage the 21-year-old top NIL dealer shared on TikTok and Instagram.
Dunne celebrated being crowned the purple and gold crown for the fifth time ever in the team’s locker room with her teammates, as seen in photos and footage shared on social media.
Dunne and her teammates will next compete in the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, in April.
Her boyfriend Skenes, on the other hand, will still have to bide his time before making his big break in the Majors, despite being called up to the Pirates’ spring training and appearing in some preseason games.
He will likely start the season with one of Pittsburgh’s minor league affiliates: Triple-A Indianapolis or Double-A Altoona.
Selected as the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft, previously Skenes said he discussed his immediate future with Pirates GM Ben Cherington.
“I’ve thrown 6 2/3 innings in pro ball. It’s just the way it goes,” Skenes told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “(Cherington) said it would be unprecedented if I started the year in the big leagues. Not that I don’t think I can do it, but I understand.’
