LOUISIANA State gymnast Olivia Dunne acknowledged a viral social media trend after sharing bikini photos alongside her MLB star boyfriend Paul Skenes.
The 21-year-old replied to a “Hawk Tuah” TikTok remark by a fan after posting pictures on Instagram of her with the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Skenes.

Dunne and Skenes were aboard a boat in Pittsburgh after the latter started for the Pirates in their 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The pair enjoyed cruising up the Monongahela River.
Dunne was rocking a stunning green bikini as the couple smiled and looked at one another in one snap.
With the Instagram caption reading, “Hooked,” a fan sent in the comments a gif of a girl who’s been the talk of the Internet recently for pretending to spit with noise spelled out as “hawk tuah” after being asked about “one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time.”

Dunne responded to the comment, writing, “Leave Miss Tuah out of this.”
Fans were in hysterics over Dunne’s response.
“I love this,” one wrote.
“Funny girl,” another said.
“He’s just spitting game girl,” a third commented.
Skenes got off to a rough start when Pittsburgh played Tampa Bay.
On the game’s first pitch, he gave up a home run to Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz.
But the 22-year-old Skenes wouldn’t give up another run as he pitched seven innings and tallied eight strikeouts.
Skenes and Dunne began dating while the two attended LSU in Baton Rouge last year.
Dunne has attended numerous of the 2023 No. 1 overall pick Skenes’ games since he was called up to the majors last month.

The rookie has made an instant impact and is already a key cog of the Pittsburgh rotation.
Skenes is on his way to winning NL Rookie of the Year after skyrocketing through the minor leagues.
He currently has a 2.14 ERA and has allowed just eight walks in 46.1 innings since his debut.
“That guy’s pretty legit,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Sunday’s game.
“[Skenes] is really talented.
“The last two guys that they’ve had, they’re as good a 1-2 combination as we’ve maybe seen this year.”
