Olivia Dunne’s Viral TikTok Video: Fans Spot MLB Star Paul Skenes in the Background
Olivia Dunne, a popular gymnast from Louisiana State Tigers, has created quite a buzz on TikTok. Her latest video, loved by fans who call her a ‘queen,’ had a surprise twist – her boyfriend, MLB star Paul Skenes, sneaking into the background. Let’s take a closer look at this viral moment.
Olivia, aged 21, was introducing her adorable puppy, Roux, to her 12 million followers. It was a sweet moment that showcased her affection for the puppy. In the video, she playfully wondered how anyone could resist falling in love with Roux. However, there was something else that fans quickly noticed.
In the background of the video, there was Paul Skenes, the top pick in the recent MLB Draft, who plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This charming couple made their relationship public in September after months of speculation. Skenes’ connection with Louisiana State goes back to their baseball team’s national championship win last season.
Amused fans couldn’t help but point out Skenes lurking in the background.
Comments like “Paul lurking in the background,” “Skenes in the back lol,” and “I love how everyone cares more about Paul Skenes in every vid he’s in” flooded the video.
While fans were entertained by Skenes’ unexpected appearance, Olivia Dunne remains the star of the show, with one fan simply exclaiming, “Livvy, our queen.”
As Olivia Dunne enters her senior year at LSU, she’s considering her future in gymnastics after graduation. She’s not only a successful athlete but also one of the highest-earning college athletes in the country, making over $3 million a year through NIL deals.
Livvy’s influence extends beyond sports. She kickstarted her modeling career in May when she featured in Sports Illustrated swimwear. She’s determined to use her growing platform to inspire the next generation of sports stars.
In a conversation with SI, she emphasized the importance of standing up for oneself. She said, “Especially posting things that any other college kid would post in – a leotard – which is the required uniform for being a gymnast. It’s ridiculous. There’s always people who want to downplay your success and say it’s just because of how you look or it’s just luck. I don’t give that negativity too much attention because it doesn’t deserve it. If I want girls to hear my message, I need to focus on what I want to say and not waste my time getting defensive about people who don’t take the time to understand what I do.”
Olivia Dunne is not just a queen in the eyes of her fans; she’s also a role model with a powerful message.
