The wait was even more intolerable for Dunne as the game took place on Paul's birthday eve. The Pittsburgh Pirates went against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, May 28. Paul completely dominated the game by opposing seven of the first eight hitters.
He finished the game with 10 strikeouts over 5.1 innings. Unfortunately, the Pirates lost 7-2 despite the phenomenal performance by Paul.
Olivia's presence at Paul's games is a regular fixture now. Despite her own work commitments and stardom, she is a constant support during his crucial game.
Olivia's Superstitious Ritual for Boyfriend's Game
The former LSU gymnast's dedication to supporting her boyfriend involves a special ritual, which she performs at his game. On “The Tonight Show," Dunne admits to host Jimmy Fallon about her gameday habit, which she performs every time to bring success to her boyfriend’s games.
“I'm a little superstitious, so I have to scream before every single pitch at the top of my lungs, 'Let's go, Paul,'" she said. “100 pitches, and I would scream 100 times."
She also joked about how watching his intense game affects her body so much, sharing,
"I usually wear an Oura Ring, and it tells me I'm going to explode and die every time I watch him."
Dunne and Skenes have been dating for almost three years. They met in 2023 at Louisiana State University, where they were student-athletes after a mutual friend introduced them. After dating for a while, they went Instagram official in September 2023.
