Paul Skenes makes Olivia Dunne relationship official, dives into handling all the social media attention

We probably didn’t need officially official confirmation that LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne and ex-Tiger Paul Skenes are dating. After all, the clues were there before we saw Dunne watching Skenes pitch in person.

But, here you go: It’s officially official!

The Pittsburgh Pirates prospect spoke at length about the relationship with Dunne and the challenges that come along with the attention on both of them.

“It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere, he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “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.”

“It’s nice to be able to have that conversation,” he added. “She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.”
