Olivia Dunne, the dazzling NCAA champion and social media maven, has proven her Pittsburgh Pirates fandom transcends her boyfriend Paul Skenes‘ starts. While it was once common to see the vibrant gymnast in the stands whenever the Pirates’ rookie sensation took the mound, Dunne’s recent appearance at a game not started by Skenes suggests her love for the sport might be growing independently of her beau’s pitching schedule.
Dunne’s unwavering support for Skenes is no secret. She’s the one logging countless flight hours to cheer him on, often expressing more nerves during his games than her own gymnastics performances. Yet, as the Pirates faced off against the Tampa Bay Rays, Dunne’s presence without Skenes on the mound indicated her budding affection for baseball itself. Perhaps the crack of the bat and the thrill of the game have won her over.
Her athletic prowess isn’t the only thing that draws eyes to Dunne; her social media influence is massive. With a Snapchat account brimming with daily updates, it was no surprise to see a post captioned, “Man what a time to be alive,” showing Dunne at PNC Park with a friend, soaking in the atmosphere of a Pirates game. This glimpse into her growing baseball enthusiasm had fans buzzing, as it wasn’t a Skenes start she was watching.

Does this newfound attendance make Livvy a “certified baseball fan”? While it’s tempting to label her as such, it could also be a testament to her desire to spend more time with Skenes, as the couple is often spotted on romantic getaways and in matching outfits. Their latest escapade saw them enjoying a serene riverside retreat, proving their bond is as strong off the field as it is in the stands.

On June 20th, Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne shared a slice of their romantic life with a fishing trip along the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh. The idyllic outing, accompanied by their dog Roux, offered a much-needed break for Skenes and a chance for Dunne to showcase her first attempt at fishing to her 5 million+ Instagram followers. The fans’ reaction was predictably enthusiastic, further cementing her place in the hearts of baseball enthusiasts.
As Dunne’s baseball attendance grows, so does her connection with the sport. Her initial admission of nervousness watching Skenes pitch– “it’s just different when you’re not doing it“-might be easing. With Skenes’ continued dominance on the mound and Dunne’s consistent presence in the stands, perhaps her fear will gradually diminish, allowing her to fully embrace her role as a beloved figure in the baseball community.
