Livvy Dunne keeps graduation celebrations going with Paul Skenes in NYC
Olivia “Livvy” Dunne kept the celebrations rolling on Saturday following her college graduation from LSU earlier in the week.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the famed gymnast and social media sensation gave her 5.4 million followers a peek at the post-graduation festivities, which included dinner in New York with her boyfriend, Pirates pitcher and NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
Dunne, 22, could be seen modeling a black mini dress with knee-high boots in one post before posing by the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in another.
The posts also pivoted to Cucina Alba, where Skenes, 22, was digging into the meal.
Dunne received a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies during Thursday’s commencement.
“Forever LSU,” Dunne proclaimed on social media, where she shared photos of the big day.
One of the breakout student-athletes of the NIL (name, image and likeness) era, Dunne boasts a valuation of $4.2 million and partnered up with numerous brands, including Vuori.
She also pivoted to modeling, making her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2023.
Dunne’s days with the Tigers are far from over, however, as she is in the fifth and final year of eligibility with LSU gymnastics.
The Tigers are coming off their first national title in program history after defeating California, Utah and Florida in April’s NCAA Championship.
“Special teams, special players,” Dunne gushed on Instagram at the time.
One month after LSU gymnastics’ championship win, Dunne supported Skenes in his major league debut.
The first overall pick in 2023’s MLB Draft out of LSU, Skenes earned an All-Star nod in his first season, going 11-3 with an ERA of 1.96.
Dunne, whose romance with Skenes was confirmed last summer, celebrated with the righty pitcher after he was named NL Rookie of the Year.
“That was cool,” she said.
Safe to say 2024 has been full of milestones for this LSU power pair.
