Olivia Dunne came dressed to impress while attending the red carpet at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday.
The LSU gymnast was in Arlington, Texas with her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates rookie fireballer Paul Skenes, who got the historic opportunity to be the starting pitcher for the National League in tonight’s Midsummer Classic.
In the NFL, the most notable couple that garners attention are easily Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
On a much lower level, Paul Skenes and Olivia Dunne are the IT couple of Major League Baseball.
Both were on hand as they made their way through the 2024 MLB All-Star Game’s red carpet at Globe Life Field. Skenes was wearing a white overall outfit, while Livvy was in a sparkling silver dress.

During an interview at the MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet, Skenes asked Dunne if she knew how to grip a fastball as he handed her a baseball.
Olivia Dunne then responded, “A four-seamer,” to prove she knew what he was talking about.
She then proved she could do it before stating, “I’m more of a splinker girl.”

Skenes became the fifth rookie to start an All-Star Game on Tuesday as he retired Steven Kwan, Gunnar Henderson, and Aaron Judge in a hitless first inning of the National League’s 5-3 loss.
While Skenes career in MLB is just starting, Olivia Dunne is not ready to give up on hers just yet.
Olivia Dunne to Return for Final Season With Gymnastics Team
Earlier this month, Dunne revealed that she will compete for the reigning NCAA champions in a fifth and final campaign.
She revealed her plans in a video on her Instagram account.
“These past four years have changed my life,” Dunne said in the video. “There’s something about putting on a purple and gold leotard. There’s something about competing in front of 13,000 screaming Tiger fans. There’s something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best. And there’s something about being part of a team that made school history.
“No matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there’s just something about LSU. And that’s why I’m here to say … I’m not ‘Dunne’ yet.”
