The LSU gymnastics star, Olivia Dunne and the Pittsburgh Pirates launcher, Paul Skenes, opened a little on their relationship in an interview published on Wednesday.
Skenes confirmed his relationship with Dunne after the LSU baseball star became professional, and the pirates have selected it with the choice n ° 1. Since then, Dunne was seen by supporting the starry launcher rising through her trip to minors and in the majors. She was by his side when he also received the prize for the recruit of the year of the National League.

However, Dunne revealed that in an interview with GQ Magazine, the relationship had hardly happened. She said Skenes had not followed her on Instagram.
“He wouldn’t follow me on Instagram,” she said.
Dunne is more a social media expert than Skenes. She built a series of more than 8 million followers on Tiktok and more than 5.3 million followers on Instagram. According to the profile, Skenes is not one for Instagram, and Dunne admitted that she had even taken control of the management of her accounts.
Skenes told GQ that he had rarely used Instagram when Dunne followed him.

“I said to myself, who is this child and why won’t he follow me?” She said to the magazine.
The launcher said that he knew who was Dunne at the time, while the gymnast did not really know who the baseball player, but wondered who was “the great and mysterious man who never smiles”.
The two explained that Skenes was more a “reserved” man, and Dunne was more out of the way, but that did not stop on their activities.
