There is something oddly magnetic about a relationship that plays out in real time across Instagram stories, game-day cameras, and viral TikToks. We often witness the internet going all in, playing matchmaker and fortune-teller. And now, fans are no longer just observers—they are investors in the love story of Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne that could be heading toward a diamond of a distinctive kind. The predictions are impossible to ignore.

Just some time after Dunne retired from gymnastics, interactions quickly shifted to her future with the Pirates star. The power couple is now the center of a viral betting buzz. As per BetIdeas.com, there is a 33 percent chance that Paul Skenes proposes to Dunne before the end of 2025. And this is only the beginning of the speculation.

What is fueling this chatter is more than just paparazzi photos. An insider from BetIdeas, Steven McQuillan, pointed out, “The couple are grabbing headlines ahead of a potential big summer… they seem to be happier than ever.”

With odds of marriage set at +600, which is 14 percent and a 1-in-10 chance of a pregnancy announcement, the Pirates fans are treating the couple’s relationship like a developing storyline in real time. Adding to that is Dunne’s current shift away from gymnastics – her schedule and goals might have transformed.

And McQuillan has made another vital point about the fan-favorite couple. “Livvy Dunne has based her whole career on sharing on social media platforms, so it seems unlikely that they will separate.” That constant online availability not only feeds fan speculation but also highlights a level of stability that defies effective celebrity trends.

Everyone’s attention is now on what is next—will 2025 be the year this high-profile couple takes the plunge?

And while betting odds have fueled the headlines, there is another side to this couple’s rise that is just as compelling. The way they nurture their relationship…

Olivia Dunne’s plans with Skenes: Hints from a shared spotlight

For Dunne, love never takes a backseat. It is about establishing space for each other, specifically, when your life is in the news 24/7. Just days ago, the love of the Pirates star took to Instagram to post a heartfelt birthday message for Skenes: “Happy Birthday Little Baby.” The post was filled with cozy photos and candid moments. And more than a birthday wish, it was a subtle message.

During a busy MLB week, Dunne made it a priority to show up mentally and publicly for her partner. And that post alone got more than 115,000 likes in just six hours.

Clearly, fans are invested in this journey.

Dunne’s plan is more interesting because she subtly weaves Paul Skenes into her professional world. At the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit red carpet, she teased the approach of a future MLB-themed shoot featuring her love. “Maybe he would say yes,” Dunne said with a grin, “but I think I could give him some tips.” A playful banter, indeed, but probably a signal, too, about their future.

Well, Livvy Dunne is not stepping back from the attention. She is establishing a space for her and Skenes to shine. As she continues extending her brand post-gymnastics, Paul Skenes could very well become a part of Dunne’s next chapter.

While the odds could be speculative, Skenes and Olivia Dunne’s cooperation is grounded in something far more real: Mutual support, shared ambition, and a willingness to grow together. Whether an engagement is around the corner or not, this couple is rewriting the couples’ playbook from every possible angle.
