In an interview with GQ Sports, LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne revealed why her relationship with former Tigers pitcher Paul Skenes nearly derailed in the early stages.
"He wouldn't follow me back on Instagram," Dunne told GQ. "I was like, 'who is this kid and why won't he follow me back?'"
Skenes, who only recently started receiving more attention thanks to his young MLB career, rarely used his Instagram account at the time in early 2023. By August, the pair were officially together heading into their senior years in Baton Rouge.
During those months, Dunne continued competing in her third year at LSU and Skenes won the college World Series in his inaugural season with the Tigers.
