An Instagram post featured the couple, with Skenes cleverly avoiding pasta sauce spills on his shirt while enjoying dinner.
Another snapshot showed Dunne in a fluffy hat, posing with her sister and a friend near the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, where they also visited the Kips Bay bar, Common Country.
Challenges Ahead for Dunne
After a festive break in New York, she will soon don her leotard and prepare for her next gymnastics season with the Tigers in spring 2025, ready to take on the competition.
However, she will face strong contenders, including Jordan Chiles, who has returned to UCLA after an Olympic appearance.
Chiles, an Olympic gold medalist, recently announced her return to college gymnastics following a controversial result at the 2024 Paris Games.
“I’m so excited,” Chiles shared with the press. “I’ve really missed Pauley (Pavilion) so much.” She expressed her joy at being back, saying, “Being a Bruin has meant everything to me. It feels great to return!”
