Paul Skenes and Olivia “Livvy” Dunne got the VIP treatment while traveling to Texas for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game.
The LSU gymnast and top NIL earner — who is set to return for her fifth and final year of eligibility with the Lady Tigers — shared a photo of the couple posing together in front of a private jet Sunday on Instagram.
“All-Star game bound!” the 21-year-old Dunne wrote with a heart hands emoji.
The Pirates pitcher — who led LSU to the 2023 College World Series title before Pittsburgh drafted him No. 1 overall — was all smiles while aboard the private plane, which included some of their friends.
It came after they spent the weekend in Chicago, where the Pirates collected two wins against the White Sox before the All-Star break.
Dunne, who is a New Jersey native, bought Skenes a new tie from Dior for his first MLB All-Star Game, as seen in a TikTok video she posted while in Chicago.
“Before Paul starts I usually get him a new tie and he’s about to go to the All-Star game,” she said. “… He better like it.”
Dunne surprised Skenes with a balloon display that read “All-Star” when he made history as the first player to be taken No. 1 overall in the draft and then be named to the following year’s All-Star team, according to USA Today.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model also supported Skenes when the rookie flamethrower was called up for his MLB debut in a start against the Chicago Cubs on May 11.
Skenes will be just the fifth rookie pitcher to start a Midsummer Classic.
The 22-year-old is 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over the first 11 starts of his major league career.
The 94th edition of the MLB All-Star Game will take place at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers, in Arlington on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, and will air on Fox.
