Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne shows off sporty look in black top and matching baseball cap

After an incredible debut season that culminated with him winning the NL Rookie of the Year award, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes has been even better in 2025. The ace finished the regular season with a 10-10 record, 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts, earning his second consecutive All-Star selection in the process.

Off the field, his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is a constant source of support. Throughout the season, she was often spotted at the ballpark cheering for Skenes whenever he took the mound.

By trade, Olivia Dunne is a model and social media influencer. Boasting over 5 million followers on Instagram and over 8 million on TikTok, she often gives fans a glimpse into her day-to-day life via her posts, showing off her tasteful fashion sense in the process.

On Thursday, she shared a mirror selfie to her Instagram story, showing off her outfit for the day, a sporty black-and-white top paired with a matching baseball cap.

Upon closer inspection, it appears the cap she is sporting in the image is from her days at LSU, where she spent five years competing for the Women's Gymnastics team.

It was during her time on campus where she first crossed paths with Paul Skenes, who was a starting pitcher for the baseball team. After reportedly being introduced to each other by mutual friends, the pair quickly hit it off, bonding over their shared love for sports.
