LSU must have been proud as Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, linked up with former Tigers QB Joe Burrow's partner, Olivia Ponton, at the recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Dunne and Ponton posed for a picture at the event, which the former used in her post on Instagram. Both of their partners were standout athletes at LSU, with Skenes playing for the baseball team and Burrow playing for the football team. However, they probably didn't cross paths at the school, since Burrow played for the Tigers from 2018 to 2019 and Skenes played for them in 2023.

Livvy was part of LSU's gymnastics team from 2021 to 2025. She retired from gymnastics in April 2025 after sustaining an avulsion fracture.
Since she retired from gymnastics, Dunne has expanded her portfolio. She will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot alongside Stephen Amell and Brooks Nader.
Like Dunne, Ponton is a social media influencer. She is also a model, having previously appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Burrow's Cincinnati Bengals were on their bye week during the event, but it's unknown if he attended it. The Bengals won their last game against the Miami Dolphins before their bye. They are 3-2 and in last place in the AFC North.
The Pittsburgh Pirates missed the playoffs in 2026, and Skenes had the worst year of his career. He went 10-11, finishing under .500 for the first time in his career, and had an ERA of 3.82 (for reference, he finished with an ERA of 1.96 and 1.97 in 2024 and 2025, respectively). He did, however, finish the year with 200 strikeouts. This marked the second straight season that he accomplished this feat.
