Olivia Dunne, Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, is a social media sensation with nearly five million followers on Instagram alone. This has also helped her land big NIL contracts. According to On3, she has already earned $3.9 million in NIL earnings, ranking second on the combined list of college players and first among all female college athletes.
On Wednesday, the LSU Gymnastics social media team conducted a fun poll, asking athletes and coaches to name the most famous people on their contact list. Thanks to her extensive network of contacts, Dunne quickly surpassed several gymnasts.
Olivia Dunne said: “The most famous people in my contacts are Odell Beckham Jr., Alix Earle, Joe Burrow, Paul Skenes, Tyga, Jason Derulo, Post Malone, Suni Lee and Simone.”
Meanwhile, Chase Brock, a fellow gymnast, responded with “livvy.” Annie Beard praised Alex Bregman, the third baseman for the Houston Astros. Haleigh Bryant responded to Kim Mulkey, coach of the LSU Tigers women’s basketball team.
Ashley Cowan named US Olympic champions Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey. Amari Drayton also mentioned Biles. LSU gymnastics coach Jay Clark said he has the phone number of NBA legend Charles Barkley.

After winning the NCAA championship for the first time in school history, the LSU Tigers are determined to defend it in 2024 and 2025. Several prominent stars of the program are returning for their final season, including Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova.
Olivia Dunne also surprised her fans by announcing her return for her fifth and final season in April. Jay Clark will continue to serve as the program’s head coach and will be assisted by assistant coaches Ashleigh Gnat, Courtney McCool-Griffeth and Garrett Griffeth. Katie Copeland will serve as the program’s director of operations, while Savannah Schoenherr will serve as Clark’s special assistant.
Recently, Dunne had a perfect response to her fellow Pirates team losing a seven-point lead to the Chicago Cubs after a strong start from Skenes. She tweeted a GIF of Skenes and wrote, “You can’t be serious.”
The 22-year-old pitched five innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs. He struck out six players and retired 11 of the last 13 batters he faced. He received a no decision.
The Pirates led 8-3 at the start of the fifth inning and extended their lead to 10-3 by the end of the fifth inning.
Pittsburgh’s bullpen allowed 11 earned runs and 11 hits in the final four innings. The Cubs scored two more runs in the seventh inning, three in the eighth and six in the ninth.
The Pirates (62-71) are last in the National League Central Division. Pittsburgh travels to Cleveland on Friday to begin a three-game series against the Guardians.
