Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes are now confirmed as lovers and this isn’t just romance but romance that can turn into a huge investment with high returns. Dunne and Skenes could become a power couple if they leverage their budding romance to their own advantage.
According to a PR expert named Eric Schiffer, Olivia, and Paul can benefit more from their relationship than just what couples do and become a power couple and I think it’s true.
GYMNAST Olivia Dunne and rising MLB star Paul Skenes’ new relationship could earn them more money as a power couple, according to a PR expert.
Dunne, 20, and Skenes, 21, went public with their budding romance in August.
Dunne is a college gymnastics star at Louisiana State University and social media sensation and Skenes is a new pitcher within the Pittsburgh Pirates organization who also attended LSU.
Skenes, who was the number one overall pick by the Pirates in the 2023 MLB draft, confirmed the relationship in mid-August while speaking to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Now, a PR expert has shared insight on how the two young athletes can leverage their romance.
Eric Schiffer, chairman of the Los Angeles-based firm Reputation Management Consultants, spoke exclusively to The U.S. Sun about what Dunne and Skenes can do to profit from their relationship.
“Olivia and Paul are destined to be the next hot power couple,” Schiffer told The U.S. Sun.
Schiffer attributes that to “their star power, their relevance with young people, and the giant engagement that the two of them together bring to anything that they’re doing.”
‘BENEFITS BOTH BRANDS’
Schiffer shared his take on how the two could financially benefit – both individually and as a couple.
“Typically what happens when you have two stars that individually are doing well financially, and they’re together spending time, it benefits both brands,” Schiffer said.
“So you could see an increase of anywhere from 10 to 30, upwards of 40 percent, to the revenue potential of them individually.”
Schiffer said that number could increase if the couple were to get married one day.
“There’s exclusive things that they may do or events they may do, and even advertising,” he said.
“There’s additional millions available for them as a couple.”
‘BROKEN HEARTS’
While there were subtle social media hints dropped ahead of the official confirmation of the relationship, Schiffer said there are still many fans affected by the romance.
“There are a lot of broken hearts of fans and those who had hoped for an opportunity perhaps,” he said.
But on the flip side, he said there are also “a lot of people who are delighted and wish them the best [and] certainly hope that things go wonderfully for both of them.”
So far, Skenes has revealed that it is “nice” to be with someone who understands the athlete lifestyle.
“It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere,” he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [Louisiana] by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever.
“It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it.
“I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it.
“It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either.
“I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.”
PR expert Eric Schiffer is right about Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes’ romance and I hope they get to hear what he had to say about how their romance can earn them 40% more as a power couple.
