Livvy Dunne believes she and Taylor Swift have a lot in common, as they’re both dating professional athletes and she’s also a proud Swiftie. In a recent conversation with Page Six, Dunne, who is dating Pittsburgh Pirates’ all-star pitcher and Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes, compared her love life to that of Swift, who is seeing Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce.
The former gymnast revealed she takes tips from the pop sensation to navigate her very public relationship with Skenes. Their romance began on the Louisiana State University campus in 2023 and is still going strong.
Livvy Dunne does what Taylor Swift does when it comes to her love life
Livvy Dunne exclusively told Page Six that she used Taylor Swift’s method when it comes to managing her public love life with Paul Skenes. Proving that she’s the ultimate Swiftie, the social media star claimed she does what the Grammy winner does to navigate her relationship in the public eye. Dunne said that Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is a pro athlete just like Skenes, who has been a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates since his MLB debut last year.
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model compared their respective thriving careers, saying, “She [Swift] has her own success and I have my own success.” Dunne then claimed that she tries to consider the singer’s “perspective on things and how she handles criticism, how she navigates.” The former LSU gymnast also disclosed how she admires Swift “in so many different ways,” including having the utmost respect for her “work ethic.”
Additionally, besides drawing parallels between their respective love lives with pro athletes, Livvy Dunne holds Taylor Swift in high regard. The influencer raved about the pop sensation’s thoughtfulness in her art and the things she “puts out there and how the meaning behind everything is very admirable.” She even called the singer a “trailblazer” and a “savvy business woman,” before voicing her “love” for these traits.
Dunne and Skenes reportedly began dating in August 2023 after first meeting on the LSU campus. The pair has since been a significant part of each other’s professional and public lives. Their social media posts also suggest that they travel a lot, which she — as a former athlete — claimed is the “difficult” part about their relationship because “they’re always traveling.” Nevertheless, their Instagram photos often show them sneaking in cozy moments together.
