Olivia Dunne has returned to Louisiana State University for her senior’s start as she is forced to miss her boyfriend’s second minor league game in Florida after the pair confirmed their romance earlier this month.
The 20-year-old shared a mirror selfie from inside one of LSU’s locker rooms on Instagram on Sunday with the caption: ‘back @LSU’
The gymnast wore an all-black outfit made by Vuori Clothing – a US-based sportswear brand – while showing off her blonde locks wrapped in a headband.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, who pitches for the Bradenton Marauders — the Single-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates — got his second start on the mound for his new team since winning the College World Series in June.
He impressed in front of the fans on Sunday, throwing 28 pitches for two strikeouts and no hits in two innings against the Lakeland Flying Tigers. Moreover, the 21-year-old threw 19 strikes.

Dunne was spotted watching Skenes make his Marauders debut last week from the stands at LECOM Park in Bradenton.
And following her appearance in South Florida, Skenes opened up about her relationship with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and confirmed the pair – who met when they were both at LSU – are dating well.
Addressing the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, he said: ‘It’s good, that’s for sure. It can be a pain sometimes, to be honest, to get somewhere.
“If one of us went out alone in Baton Rouge, there’s probably going to be someone there asking for something – a photo, an autograph, whatever.

“It’s nice to be able to have this conversation. She understands. I wish she could come to a baseball game and enjoy it. It pisses me off.
“I have no control over that. Neither does she. I’m sure it will get better as I level up, but it’s something I want for her.
Dunne, who shared behind-the-scenes footage from her photoshoot with Sports Illustrated on TikTok last week, looked happy cheering on her new boyfriend at the ballpark on Skeenes’ minor league debut, as she pulled a smile in front of the fans.
Dunne shared a pre-game selfie on Instagram with the caption: “Go baseball!” defeat the Tigers.
Dunne had previously said she feared for her safety on the LSU campus and would no longer attend in-person classes starting in the fall.
