BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA: Baseball passion is at an all-time high as the playoff race intensifies. But collegiate basketball has also piqued the curiosity of fans, not only Major League Baseball.
It all began when Louisiana State University set records by winning multiple College World Series championships this year. By sending top prospects Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes, they also contributed to the history of MLB in 2023.
And the inclusion of a well-known gymnast has generated more rumors about the situation. The top prospects are in the spotlight following the MLB Draught.
Paul Skenes has been under fire for both his baseball career and personal life. Olivia Dunne, a fellow LSU standout, has been the subject of dating rumors.
Additionally, it fuelled more speculations when she announced she was in Florida for a minor league game that bridged the geographical difference.
Despite all the positive aspects, Skenes' most recent remark has given their relationship a new perspective.
What did Paul Skenes say?
Relationships, whether romantic or not, require work, patience, and understanding to succeed. It includes meetings that call for comfort, simplicity, and privacy.
However, there is a danger of being continually surrounded by people and cameras when one is renowned. And that appears to be the case with the LSU star athletes Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes, who after months of rumors from fans, finally confirmed their relationship.
In conversation with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Skenes discussed his relationship. He said, “It’s nice, for sure. It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere," according to Essentially Sports.
Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne's relationship
Paul Skenes' remarks reveal how challenging it was for him to manage his interactions with those who were loyal to them.
And it may rise as Dunne maintains her appeal among the general public as a gymnast and she progresses to minor league prominence.
Skenes has discussed some of the challenges of dating while in the spotlight. They continue to support one another despite this, though.
Dunne demonstrated that love has no boundaries when she went to a recent Pirates minor league game in Florida, where Skenes is currently playing.
As Olivia gets ready for her senior year at LSU and competes for the Tigers' gymnastics team, the world may get to see Skenes do it as well.
