Paul Skenes recently had his much-awaited debut in Major League Baseball, a milestone that meant the world to his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne. As he dazzled on the field, striking out seven over four-plus innings in the Pirates’ thrilling win against the Cubs at PNC Park, Olivia stood proudly in the crowd, her heart swelling with pride for her man. A few days ago, Olivia Dunne took part in a Barbie-themed photo shoot, describing it as “pulling an all-nighter” to prepare.

However, the shoot turned out to be more demanding than anticipated. As she shared a candid selfie on Snapchat, appearing a bit tired with her tangled hair after the shoot. Nonetheless, despite feeling fatigued, Olivia and her family still made it to support her boyfriend. But after being surrounded by loved ones in the stands, she forgets about her exhaustion.

Olivia Dunne’s family joins in cheering for Paul Skenes

To show her support for her boyfriend, Olivia Dunne wore a custom-made Pirates jacket with Paul Skenes’ name emblazoned on the arm, complemented by a small black shirt. Not only did she sport this outfit, but she also adorned a pin of Paul’s face on a black tank top. Completing her ensemble with black leggings, Olivia took to Snapchat to share a series of stories, capturing moments with her loved ones. In one snap, her beaming “mama” indicates that Olivia Dunne’s mother has wholeheartedly approved Paul Skenes by cheering him on.

Another snap showed Olivia Dunne’s sister, Julz Dunne, who was also cheering for Paul Skenes. However, the relationship between Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne is built on support and loyalty towards each other. Ever since they confirmed their relationship in August 2023, Paul has consistently been there for Olivia.

Even when Livvy was away for NCAA championships, Paul made sure to take care of her dog, Roux. Their bond extends beyond personal moments, with Paul often sharing glimpses of their life together on Instagram. In many ways, Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes seem like a perfect match made in college sports heaven.

A love story through time

Their relationship began through mutual friends, Elena Arenas and Garrett Edwards, who introduced them. Bonding over their shared experiences as athletes, they gradually transitioned from acquaintances to romantic partners. Despite attempts to keep their relationship low-key, speculation arose, fueled by subtle hints on social media and sightings at baseball games.

While initially keeping their romance private, Dunne and Skenes eventually confirmed their relationship during an interview, putting an end to months of speculation. Despite the attention, they continue to navigate their relationship with grace and discretion, proving that love can flourish even in the spotlight. Since then they have been supporting each other publically.
