Paul Skenes’ commitment to spending time with Livvy Dunne knows no limits—he’s willing to go to extraordinary lengths to be with her, even if it means pulling out all the stops.
During an episode of Flau’jae Johnson’s “Best of Both Worlds” podcast, LSU’s two standout athletes—Skenes and Dunne—discussed the lavish realities of balancing their busy schedules. As one of the most prominent college athletes and a social media superstar, Dunne shared an eye-catching detail about her summer: for the first time in her life, she experienced the luxury of flying on a private jet. This wasn’t just any casual trip; it was alongside Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, whom Dunne joined on a private jet en route to the MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas.
For Dunne, that experience was just the beginning. With her packed schedule as she enters her fifth and final season as an LSU gymnast, private flights have turned into something more regular. Dunne mentioned that traditional travel simply doesn’t fit into her demanding life.
“Being at school, I’m busy, and I don’t really have time to go on connecting flights and spend a whole day traveling,” Dunne explained. “So Paul will sometimes provide an easier way of getting from point A to point B.”

Her co-host, Flau’jae, expressed her amazement at the level of convenience, understanding the pressures athletes like Dunne face. As a rapper and player for LSU’s Lady Tigers basketball team, Flau’jae is no stranger to the grind of maintaining an intense schedule, juggling her music career with her commitments on the court. She appreciated how much of a time-saver this lifestyle tweak must be for Dunne.
By the end of the conversation, the two athletes found common ground, acknowledging that having someone willing to go the extra mile can make all the difference.
As Flau’jae summed up the takeaway from their discussion, “If he wanted to, he would.” Dunne agreed, the phrase serving as a testament to Skenes’ dedication and the strong bond they share, where grand gestures and thoughtfulness go hand in hand.
