And these are a few of Olivia “Livvy” Dunne’s favorite things.
While cheering on her beloved Tigers Saturday at the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, the former LSU gymnast-turned-Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model rocked a custom jersey that paid tribute to her alma mater and her boyfriend, fellow LSU alum and reigning NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Dunne — who boasts more than 13 million followers across Instagram and TikTok — showed off her split jersey that recognized the Tigers on the front and Skenes’ Pirates on the back.
“Party in the front business in the back,” the 22-year-old New Jersey native captioned a selfie, which highlighted the star pitcher’s No. 30 jersey number.
Dunne — whose relationship with Skenes, 23, was revealed in 2023, the same year he and the Tigers captured the College World Series title — had one of the best views in the house at Charles Schwab Field, where LSU defeated Arkansas, 4-1.
LSU advanced in the winner’s bracket with the victory and will face UCLA on Monday night.
“I am so happy geaux tigers,” Dunne exclaimed in a separate Instagram Story on Saturday.
It’s certainly been a spring to remember for Dunne, who was announced as one of the four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover stars for the 2025 edition of the iconic publication, along with Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, actress Salma Hayek and entrepreneur Lauren Chan.
Dunne, just two years removed from her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut, shot what became the cover photo in Bermuda while nursing a knee injury.
“Fun fact, I was shooting on a fractured kneecap, so poses like this and the cover shot kind of hurt, but it was honestly so worth it,” Dunne said in an Instagram video recapping the whirlwind shoot.
Elsewhere this year, Dunne bid farewell to gymnastics after her collegiate career came to an end in April. She won a national championship with LSU last year.
“You will always be my first love,” Dunne said in an emotional tribute video.
“Time did fly by, and I will cherish every memory for the rest of my life.”
As Dunne chases new dreams in this next chapter, she’s also supporting Skenes as he lives out his.
The Pirates’ first-overall pick in 2023, Skenes was officially called up to the majors in May 2024 and struck out seven in his debut.
Although Skenes has posted an ERA of 1.78 across 15 games, the Pirates sit in last place in the NL Central at 29-43.
Skenes is slated to pitch Sunday to close out Pittsburgh’s four-game series against the Cubs.
