Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne soaked up the sun on Friday as the Pittsburgh Pirates hosted the Cincinnati Reds for the second game of their series.

Dunne, who retired from gymnastics in April after five years with the LSU Tigers, was accompanied by Sofia Davis, wife of Pirates catcher Henry Davis, and Rylee Rose Gonzalez, wife of Pittsburgh second baseman Nick Gonzalez, at poolside.

"Pitt pool day," Dunne captioned her story.

Dunne was at PNC Park on Thursday to cheer for Paul Skenes, who took the mound in the series opener against Cincinnati. However, she wasn't alone in the stands as she was joined by her mother, Katherine Dunne.

"Gameday with momma Dunne," the former LSU star wrote in her Instagram story featuring her mother.

In another story, Dunne shared a glimpse of the Pirates ace walking back to the dugout. Skenes pitched six scoreless innings to help Pittsburgh to a resounding 7-0 shutout win.

Dunne hailed his dominant outing, captioning her story:

"Typical Paulina slay."
