Olivia Dunne, better known as Livvy by her millions of fans, is having the time of her life. After months of speculation, she brought her romantic connection with MLB player Paul Skenes to light in August. Surprisingly, the young couple hasn’t had a proper date beyond their torrid courtship phase. Both are athletes in their respective fields and stealing time from their busy schedules was tantamount to disloyalty to the teams. Recently, Dunne and Skenes had a half date with sushi, which is her ideal date food. However, she was getting ready for her beau to sweep her off her feet with a proper date night, and she was not disappointed.

Olivia Dunne left the LSU dorm for the perfect night of her life. In her father’s absence to settle a curfew for the gentleman caller, her gymmate Elena Arenas volunteered for guardianship.

The young baseball player cleaned up nicely for the date night and changed out of his jersey into a suit. However, Olivia Dunne took his breath away in a blue backless dress that she had bought specially for this occasion. They looked absolutely enamored by each other and took snaps throughout the evening to capture their memorable moments. Holding on to the love of her life, the LSU gymnast posted two photos on her Instagram account captioned, “my fav d8 ♡”. Skenes took her to a fancy restaurant, which was different from their half-date situation. Here, they dined in peace away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. It was a proper sit-down meal this time, but what they had not expected was Elena Arenas setting a timer on the night.

Most of Olivia Dunne’s followers respect her privacy and treat her with respect. However, there are also those who cross boundaries with illicit comments. One such incident occurred during an NCAA Game where the social media icon narrowly escaped humiliation. For this reason, Dunne does not take the risk of attending her classes in person despite being a good student. She explained her decision, saying, “There were some scares in the past, and I just want to be as careful as possible. I don’t want people to know my daily schedule and where I am”. Given her popularity, even Paul Skenes once expressed his concerns about going on a public date.
