Away From Boyfriend Paul Skenes, Olivia Dunne Reunites With MLB Couple’s ‘Daughter’

After Olivia “Livvy” Dunne made the six-hour journey alongside boyfriend and MLB debutante Paul Skenes so she could cheer for him from the stands, Dunne returned to her city. Deciding to watch the rest of MLB season matches from home, where she is reunited with the couple’s daughter; Roux. The white-as-snow labrador retriever is as elegant to look at as its name and has pretty much been a mainstay of Olivia Dunne and her extended family. There have been many instances where Livvy has sported her labrador retriever to all and sundry. From NYC adventures to family gatherings, adorable little Roux has seen it all.

Olivia Dunne also celebrated Christmas with her pet daughter. Completely donning the dog mom’s role in full earnest, X Mas was filled to the hilt with family and some pawsome fun as well. Pre-Christmas festivities hit differently in the Livvy household, as even Baby Roux was spotted in the family congregation. There was even a cutout that had the caption penned – “Our family tree. Merry Christmas”. Roux and her mom could be seen peeking their head out to soak in the convivial atmosphere.

She captioned the post –“Mother and daughter. The genetics are strong”, which might hint at the fact that they me cut from the same cloth. Such is their bond forged. Roux seemed to have placed her paw very gingerly, while her mom was beaming with joy. Cut to 2024, Roux is now a sliver of Paul Skenes’ life as well, post his MLB news.

In a recent snapchat post, Olivia Dunne posted a picture kissing her daughter and captioned it, “reunited with my queen”. From the looks of it, she was seen at Newark Liberty International Airport. Dunne has been away for a while as she cheered Paul Skenes’ debut as part of the Pittsburgh Pirates when he played his first match against the Chicago Cubs. His debut was impressive as he struck out seven batters over four innings and consistently managed to reach 100mph with his fastball. The match was also a rollercoaster of emotions as it was also halted in the middle when it began raining. 

The crowd at PNC Park was buzzing with excitement at not only Skenes but also the presence of Olivia Dunne in the stands as she cheered her boyfriend wearing Pirate gear and a badge with his face on it. She even made a TikTok expressing her nervousness saying, “I can’t control — I don’t know how to throw a 100 mile [per hour] fastball, but it’s hard to have no control.” She also told Pirates’ Broadcast that, “I know he’s got this and I just have a lot of confidence in him.” Paul Skenes in the past has also spoken about how much it means to him for Olivia Dunne to watch his matches from atop the seams. But now she is back at home and, thankfully, not alone. Roux and she seem to be basking in a new glory too.

Olivia Dunne shows you how nurturing she can be

The couple bought the labrador puppy together and have christened it their “daughter.” She was introduced to the world only a few months old and her dedicated Instagram account (@thatgirlroux) also garnered 4,700 followers less than two weeks after opening and has 13k followers now. Her bio is “Welcome to my life🐾” and Olivia and her millions of followers have often gushed about Roux’s adorable “smooshy face”. Dunne even dressed him up for Christmas and named him “Rouxdolf”. On November 5th of last year, the dog’s IG handle underwent a seismic change as a photo was posted wherein Livvy was spotted planting a kiss on baby Roux, which broke the internet. The caption to it was –“Today’s MVP! (most valuable pupper)” from the periphery of the Alex Box Stadium.

In addition to walks and picnics, Dunne recently made a post via roux’s account, captioning it, “Happy Mothers Day…I love you mama!🤍” In the post Roux is seen licking her mom’s face and receiving a bath by Dunne. In previous posts Dunne has also posted several pictures of Roux with her dad Skenes. Especially of Skenes playing with Roux and petting her head, capturing her two loves in one frame. Roux has also visited LSU’s Alex Box Stadium with her parents where Dunne trains.

Additionally, the first photo ever on Roux’s Instagram is one of the family cuddling on a big brown sofa as Dunne shows her adorable puppy off. The dog has been inundated with multiple users calling it –“So cute” to “I wish my dog got along with other dogs. He also loves baseball and his cousin is named Roux too” and whatnot. Not just this but on Mothers day this year, Roux seemed to wish her mommy dearest with her licks and drooly kisses. Dunne likewise shared multiple snapshots of Roux giving her unconditional love, resting on her, facetiming her so on and so forth.
