Olivia Dunne films a video in Paul Skenes' hoodie!
The SI Swimsuit model took to her TikTok account and posted a fun clip featuring herself wearing one of her boyfriend's clothes.
Dunne is currently in her last season as an LSU gymnast, yet that doesn't imply she's stepping back from social media. Since entering her senior year, the athlete has been dropping viral content on Instagram and TikTok.
Proud Girlfriend Moments
In Dunne's new video, she showcased patriotic vibes while proudly wearing her boyfriend and No. 1 MLB Draft pick Paul Skenes.
The clip also saw the gymnast dancing in the baseball pitcher's Air Force hoodie, accompanied by the trending phrase, "My pronouns are USA!" in the background.
An All-American Girl
The white wall behind Dunne showed an American flag that complemented her oversized attire and the audio.
Skenes' hoodie covered Dunne's clothes underneath, making it seem like she only wore the outerwear. She kept things simple by wearing little makeup and pulling her blonde locks into a messy ponytail.
"Me whenever I wear by bf's hand-me-downs," Dunne wrote in the video.
Meanwhile, in the caption, she dropped emojis, such as the saluting face and the flag of the USA.
Fans React To The Video
Like many of Dunne's posts on the video-sharing app, the new addition to her feed proved to be a hit. The footage racked up nearly 1 million views and over 100,000 likes. Hundreds of fans also dropped messages in the comments section.
"Livvy, you are one in a million woman - doesn't matter who you date, you will be unstoppable," wrote one person.
"WE NEED MORE SKENES CONTENT," remarked another follower.
"Paul. You're my idol," noted the third TikTok user.
When Did Olivia Dunne And Paul Skenes Started Dating?
The exact timeline of Dunne and Skenes' relationship remains a mystery. However, the couple may have started their romance in June when the gymnast and her teammate Elena Arenas were seen supporting the former LSU pitcher and his teammates during the College World Series. For those who don't know, Arenas is in a relationship with Skenes' former teammate, Garret Edwards.
In an interview with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Skenes disclosed he met Dunne through mutual friends -- Arenas and Edwards.
Dating Under The Public Eye
Skenes also got candid about their relationship and how it could be a "pain in the butt" at times.
"It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere," he explained. "If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there's probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever."
Mutual Understanding
Upon joining the Pittsburgh Pirates franchise and playing for the Bradenton Marauders, Skenes revealed that their mutual understanding of each other's lifestyles strengthened their bond.
"It's nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it," Skenes said and conveyed a desire for Dunne to be able to attend a baseball game and simply enjoy it without the added pressures.
Despite acknowledging the current challenges, Skenes expressed optimism that things might improve as he progresses to higher levels in his career.
