Recently, Olivia Dunne shared that she took a trip to New York with her friends, coming right after her collaboration in an energy drink commercial with NFL star Travis Kelce.
The 21-year-old gymnast and social media sensation posted on Instagram from Jean’s, an upscale restaurant in Noho, Manhattan, where she and her friends dined in white dresses. Her post, captioned “Is this seat taken?” featured Dunne, who holds a $3.9 million NIL deal, enjoying her time at the restaurant.
In addition to dining out, Dunne and her friends took to the streets of New York City, sharing selfies from their night out in an SUV. Earlier in the week, Dunne, a Sports Illustrated model, had been on set with Travis Kelce for the Accelerator Energy drink ad, where she made a playful TikTok reference to Kelce’s relationship with popstar Taylor Swift.
This mention draws a parallel between Dunne and her boyfriend, MLB player Paul Skenes, likening them to the high-profile couple of Kelce and Swift. Throughout the NFL season, Kelce and Swift were a media sensation, from their relationship announcement in September to Swift’s return from Tokyo to watch Kelce win his second consecutive Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, Dunne has been a visible supporter of Skenes since his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates against the Chicago Cubs on May 11. She recently cheered on Skenes, the top pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, during his much-anticipated matchup with Shohei Ohtani of the LA Dodgers.
Celebrations continued into last month when Dunne commemorated Skenes’ 22nd birthday with a post following a romantic dinner in Indianapolis. She also humorously responded to a young Pirates fan who expressed his fondness for Skenes’ mustache and his girlfriend.
With her graduation from LSU in May, it remains uncertain if Dunne will use her fifth year of eligibility, which she retained due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to return for another season with LSU’s gymnastics team. After their national championship win in April, Dunne mentioned she hadn’t decided about returning to competition.
