Dunne’s posts from Sunday come one day after she supported her fellow Lady Tigers, Taryn Koth and Kirsten Nuss of Team USA, in their beach volleyball victory against Canada, according to the Daily Mail.

It’s been a summer to remember for Dunne, who recently announced her return to the LSU gymnastics team for her fifth and final year of eligibility.

Before traveling to Paris for the Olympics, Dunne ventured to Texas for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, where she supported her boyfriend, rookie Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who started for the National League in his first All-Star appearance.

The couple, who confirmed their romance last summer, hit the red carpet together in Arlington, Texas, before the 22-year-old Skenes took the mound in an eventual 5-3 loss to the American League.

Dunne, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and social media sensation, cheered on the LSU alum from Globe Life Field, where she sported a customized “Skenes” top.

Skenes, the No. 1 overall pick by the Pirates in the 2023 MLB Draft, made his major league debut in May.

He currently boasts a 1.93 ERA and suffered his first MLB loss on Tuesday, a 2-1 defeat to the Cardinals.
