She said via People:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I feel like we&#8217;re like yin and yang. I love doing social media and I enjoy being in the spotlight, [but he] doesn&#8217;t even have social media on his phone. He doesn&#8217;t like social media at all.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She went on to say that being opposites helps their relationship:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think that we play off of one another and make each other better. Paul definitely holds me accountable, which I really appreciate. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to find it within yourself to do things.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps because he&#8217;s so anti-social media, Dunne also confirmed that Skenes has an incredible work ethic:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I feel like his work ethic is something I&#8217;ve never seen before.
