Livvy Dunne pulls off perfect April Fool’s prank on boyfriend Paul Skenes

Livvy Dunne had some fun with boyfriend Paul Skenes on April Fool’s Day, and he admitted she got him good.
The 22-year-old viral gymnast has been busy lately rehabbing her knee as she’s been out of competition for the defending national champion LSU Lady Tigers for several weeks, but still traveled and celebrated with the squad in epic fashion after they defending their SEC crown. She also posed for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit again with some stunning picture, and found time to head to Miami for Skenes’ season opener for the Pittsburgh Pirates where she rocked a sunburn and fire fit, and then took a romantic boat ride together.

She posted “getting ready to move and getting rid of some stuff if yall want.” She then posted a bunch of Skenes’ personal items for ridiculous cheap prices like his custom mit for $50.
