Meet Olivia Dunne’s MLB Star Boyfriend, Paul Skenes

Paul Skenes has been making as many professional moves as Olivia Dunne has; both athletes have risen to success in the early years of their careers. Skenes attended LSU for a year before he was picked first in the 2023 MLB draft and contracted out to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Along with his athletic success, Skenes broke a record with his contract, signing over for $9.2 million, surpassing previous record holder Spencer Torkelson with a $8.4 million contract.

Skenes explained to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he and Dunne met while at LSU because Skenes’ friend was dating Dunne’s roommate. The couple confirmed their relationship in August 2023 after eagle-eyed fans spotted Dunne with Skenes in a TikTok video. Since then, the two have been spotted out and about, attending an LSU football game together and enjoying a romantic during the holidays in New York City.
