In the comment section, Dunne responded, “aw you should’ve said hi!💞 always down for some hair touch-ups tho 👀.” Dunne was also seen wearing her BF’s jersey at the College World Series in June 2023, when the Tigers won the NCAA National Championship.
Skenes officially confirmed their relationship in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in August 2023. “It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere,” he explained. “If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever.”
He said their similar lifestyles has made their relationship easier. “It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it,” he added. “I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.”

Rumors circulated in 2022 that Olivia Dunne was romantically linked to TikTok star Josh Richards. It happened after a 2022 Barstool Sports interview when she played a game with Kiss, Mary, and Kill with Josh.
The gymnast had to choose whether to kiss, marry, or kill Bryce Hall, Vinnie Hacker, and Josh. In the first round, she decided to kill Bryce, marry Josh, and kiss Vinny. Even if Dunne and Richards briefly had a thing, the young TikTok stars were never official.
Morgan Wallen (Rumored)
Another one of Dunne’s rumored flings was with country star Morgan Wallen. In May 2023, the singer was slated to perform but reportedly called off the concert due to losing his voice. However, a security guard claimed that the reason was actually because Wallen was too drunk to perform, per Nicki Swift. The anonymous gossip site DeuxMoi reported that the two hooked up the night before, according to The Things, but nothing was ever confirmed.
Dunne also previously shared a TikTok of herself dancing to Wallen’s track “Everything I Love” wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, making fans speculate further about their relationship status.
