Livvy Dunne and her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, are riding high these days, and Saturday’s LSU Tigers football game was yet another reason for the couple—and every Tigers fan—to celebrate. The Tigers pulled off a thrilling 29-26 walk-off victory in overtime against the Ole Miss Rebels, turning Death Valley into a scene of pure jubilation.
Dunne, a viral sensation in the gymnastics world, and Skenes, a standout pitcher in Major League Baseball, were both in the stands for the electrifying finish. As the game came to a dramatic close, Dunne captured the entire experience on her social media, offering fans a firsthand look at the chaos and excitement that erupted following the game-winning touchdown.
In a video shared on her Instagram, Dunne documented the crowd’s reaction as they stormed the field in celebration. She also filmed Skenes’ stunned reaction, showing the pitcher standing in awe before she turned the camera on herself for a selfie, screaming with excitement. Her simple but telling caption read, “last night was ?,” summing up the electric atmosphere in Baton Rouge.
The victory was a huge moment for LSU fans, and Dunne and Skenes were right in the middle of it. As a fifth-year senior at LSU, Dunne has been a major figure on campus, both as a standout on the gymnastics team and as one of the most popular college athletes on social media. Her excitement after the big win reflected the passion she and her fellow students have for LSU sports.

This isn’t the first time Dunne has made waves at an LSU football game. Earlier in the season, she grabbed attention at the Tigers’ home opener in September, showing up in a stylish tiger-print miniskirt and boots, perfectly matching the energy of game day at Death Valley.
Her enthusiasm for LSU sports, combined with her vibrant personality, has made her a fan favorite on and off the field.
Skenes, meanwhile, is making headlines in his own right. The 22-year-old pitcher had a stellar rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates after being selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Skenes, who had a standout college career at LSU, finished his first professional season with an impressive 11-3 record and a 1.96 ERA. His transition to the big leagues has been seamless, and his future in baseball looks incredibly bright.
The couple’s relationship blossomed while Skenes was still playing at LSU. Dunne playfully shared that she “stalked him” after one of his games, and the two have been together since 2023. Both Dunne and Skenes have become icons in their respective sports, and their shared love for LSU has only strengthened their bond.
The Tigers’ win on Saturday was a special moment for both Dunne and Skenes, who clearly share a deep connection to LSU. It’s not often that a college couple can enjoy success in their own professional arenas while still maintaining a strong link to their alma mater, but Dunne and Skenes are doing just that.
From viral gymnastics routines to MLB dominance, they’re both stars in their own right, and LSU fans love seeing them cheer on their Tigers together.
As the gymnastics season approaches, Dunne is gearing up for another championship run with the LSU team, while Skenes will continue his rise in the MLB.
But for now, the two are soaking up every moment of the LSU football season, celebrating big wins like Saturday’s unforgettable victory over Ole Miss. For Dunne and Skenes, it’s clear that the love for their school and each other is stronger than ever.
