Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Dunne looked stunning as always in a heathered crop top showing off her athletic physique, baggy sweatpants, and glasses.
“POV you have the Tyla dance in your drafts but you have a [boyfriend],” she captioned the TikTok.
In the clip, Dunne spins and bucks her shoulders, but avoids Tyla’s now famous hip swaying dance.
Instead, she repeatedly wagged her finger towards the camera before concluding the video with a kiss blown to her fans.

“[For sure] staying in the drafts,” Dunne added in the caption.
Naturally, many of her eight million fans wasted no time in flocking to the comments section, attempting to change her mind.
“I’m sure Paul would understand,” one said in reference to Dunne’s boyfriend and MLB star, Paul Skenes.
“He ain’t got TikTok he’ll never know,” commented a second.
“He told me he was cool with it so go ahead,” said another.
While a fourth asked, “Why is it staying in the drafts? Are you planning on being able to post it in the future?”
Shortly afterward, Dunne returned to TikTok, seemingly in response to a comment.
In a grey fitted tanktop, a beaming Dunne lipsynced audio from YouTuber Cody Ko saying, “Let’s f*****g go! Let’s go. I guess?”
This was accompanied by a caption that read, “You actually act pretty normal for being homeschooled.”
Dunne also added, “It built character,” below the video.
Recently, she and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Skenes took a mini-break as they headed on a fishing trip.
DUNNE AND SKENES’ SUMMER OF LOVE
Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes managed to keep their relationship a secret before finally going public last summer.
The pair met at LSU, but it’s not clear when they started dating.
Rumors of a romance began when Dunne watched LSU win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska last summer.
And Dunne then posted selfies from Fort Myers in Florida, where Skenes was playing.
He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and began his pro career by playing in minor leagues in the Sunshine State.
The final clue came when Dunne posed in a Pirates cap before the pair finally went public.
Joined by their dog Roux, the happy couple took a boat out on the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania.
The LSU alumni met while both in Baton Rouge and exactly when they first began dating is unclear.
However, Dunne and Skenes ultimately wound up going public in August 2023.
She is often in attendance at his games, decked out in Pirates gear as she cheers the electric rookie on.
So far, Skenes has made seven appearances for Pittsburgh since being called up from the minors.
He’s managed an average ERA of 2.29 on 39.1 innings pitched, allowing 32 hits and four homers.
