Dunne and Skenes, both 21, first went public with their romance back in August after the LSU gymnastics sensation was spotted attending some of his baseball games for minor-league team the Bradenton Marauders.

Since then their relationship has gone from strength to strength, with the lovebirds recently enjoying a trip to New York over the holidays.

And during an appearance on ESPN’s Sports Center, Dunne gushed over boyfriend Skenes – who joined the Pittsburgh Pirates as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft after a stellar career at LSU – while claiming their contrasting personalities blend together perfectly.

‘He’s pretty level-headed all the time, that’s what I love about him,’ she said. ‘And I think that we’re a really good pair because of that, because I have a crazy lifestyle and things get thrown my way all the time. 

‘Sometimes my emotions sway up and down, and he’s very level. I just think it’s a very good match.’

Dunne, who boasts over 12 million followers across her Instagram and TikTok accounts, is one of the most famous online personalities in US sport, as well as a star gymnast for LSU. 

According to On3’s NIL tracker, the social-media phenomenon’s estimated annual earnings from her name, image and likeness is roughly $3.5m, while she has also enjoyed partnerships with the likes of Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Body Armor, American Eagle Outfitters and Motorola.

So is there method behind the madness? 

‘There’s definitely a strategy behind it,’ she admitted. ‘It was over quarantine when it really blew up for me and from there I had the help of my mom and my sister managing me and my time and just having the right people around me.
