Paul Skenes, a standout pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and his girlfriend, Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, appeared together on the red carpet ahead of the MLB All-Star Game. Skenes, who was an All-Star selection but did not pitch due to his schedule, posed for photos alongside Dunne. He wore a blue suit, blue pants, a white shirt, and a dark blue tie, accessorized with alligator boots and a tie featuring an American flag motif. Dunne complemented his look in a black and blue dress and a matching blue bag. Dunne noted that she aimed to coordinate with Skenes, describing him as someone who consistently wears red, white, or blue and is a "Patriot."
The couple met while attending LSU in 2023. Skenes' professional baseball career has sometimes necessitated a long-distance relationship, but Dunne has stated they prioritize making time for each other's events. She attends his games when possible, and he makes time for her appearances.
Since being chosen first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, Skenes has emerged as a top pitcher in the league. After a successful Rookie of the Year season in 2024 with a 1.96 ERA, he had a Cy Young-winning campaign in 2025, striking out 216 hitters. In 2026, Skenes has maintained a 3.57 ERA, continuing to be a key player for the ascending Pirates team.
Dunne, a prominent social media influencer, is expanding into acting and is set to appear in Fox's "Baywatch" reboot later this year. Skenes and Dunne have been publicly linked since 2023, with their relationship often a topic of interest due to their respective high-profile careers.
