The 2023 MLB Draft's first overall pick, Paul Skenes, has been dating Olivia Dunne since their college days. Skenes was selected by the Pittsburgh Pirates in this year's draft, and the club has high hopes from him. Dunne is often spotted enjoying games when Skenes takes the mound.

They met at Louisiana State University, where Dunne is known as a proficient gymnast and the highest-paid NCAA female athlete. Meanwhile, Skenes led the baseball program to a triumph in the 2023 College World Series.

Paul Skenes, who signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates in Aug., confirmed his relationship with Dunne during an interview with The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"I do wish she (Olivia Dunne) could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it," Skenes said.

"It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her," he said, referring to the couple's inability to go anywhere without massive attention from fans and followers."

The couple has been vocal about finding it difficult to enjoy each other's company in public now that both are at the peak of their profession.
