Olivia Dunne Says She and Boyfriend Paul Skenes Are ‘Complete Opposites’: ‘Like Yin and Yang’ (Exclusive)

Olivia Dunne is opening up about her relationship with MLB star Paul Skenes.

Dunne, 22, tells PEOPLE that she and the Pirates pitcher, 22, are "complete opposites" in many ways, but their differences make the relationship work. "I feel like we're like yin and yang," says the LSU star, who announced she's joining Jake Paul's brand W as a co-owner, equity shareholder and ambassador on Wednesday, Oct. 23.

"I love doing social media and I enjoy being in the spotlight," Dunne shares.

But Skenes, the All-Star rookie and LSU alum, "doesn't even have social media on his phone," says his girlfriend. "He doesn't like social media at all."

"We're just very opposite and I feel like it really works," says Dunne, who is currently in her fifth year at the university.

Skenes may not share her love of social media or the spotlight, but the athletes share plenty in common when it comes to their respective sports.

"I think that we play off of one another and make each other better," Dunne shares. "Paul definitely holds me accountable, which I really appreciate," she adds, admitting, "Sometimes it's hard to find it within yourself to do things."

"I feel like his work ethic is something I've never seen before. It's very cool to hear his advice for me, and I feel like that made me a better athlete last year."

Though Skenes shrugs off the spotlight, Dunne says she's been able to help him adjust to his rising fame. "He's now in the spotlight, which I've had for quite some time now, and hopefully I'm able to help him in ways like that."

Dunne is a social media sensation — 8 million people follow her on TikTok and another 5.3 million keep up with the gymnast on Instagram. Her success caught Paul's eye when he was looking to expand W's ownership.

The popular athletes had been following each other on social media for years, but they first met in July at Michael Rubin's white party in the Hamptons.

"Livvy's not just a gymnast, she's creating content on top of that, and people look at that as an easy thing to do, but it's really a full-time job," Paul, 27, tells PEOPLE.

Dunne has been a fan of Paul's for years. "I was a fan of Vine, actually," she clarifies, referring to the now-defunct video app where Paul got his start as a content creator.

Dunne says she was impressed by "how driven" Paul was during their first meeting at Rubin's party. "I admire Jake's authenticity to just being undeniably himself no matter what," she says of the boxer, who is currently prepping for his big fight against Mike Tyson on Nov. 15.

"Jake has always been undeniably himself. Even with his boxing career, I really admire it because there's a lot of people that obviously try to tear him down, but he tries to find the win in each day, which I think is awesome, and that's what the brand stands for."
