Livvy Dunne goes viral for reaction to boyfriend Paul Skenes getting MLB call up
LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne took to TikTok to make her feelings known about boyfriend and former LSU baseball player Paul Skenes being getting called up to the major leagues by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Playing off the popular “Let’s (expletive) go” phrase, used by Tom Brady and others, the NIL magnet posted, “POV: you both wake up from a nap and find out he’s in the MLB.”
She does a quick dance, then there’s a cameo from Skenes.
Prior to the video, Dunne posted on her Instagram story about the news with the words, “Here we go!”
