Power couple status: unlocked. LSU gymnastics sensation turned social media icon Livvy Dunne just gave her millions of followers an intimate glimpse into her romance with Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. To mark the baseball prodigy’s 24th birthday, Dunne took to Instagram Stories to share a series of nostalgic, candid throwback photos that quickly set the internet abuzz.
Among the tributes was a sun-drenched beach photo that immediately stole the spotlight, showing the couple enjoying some downtime away from their demanding athletic schedules.
Beach Days and Formal Nights
In the standout beach photo, Dunne sports a classic, minimalist black string bikini as she leans affectionately into Skenes. The couple is seen smiling on the shore alongside their beloved dog, Roux. Keeping her caption playful and sweet, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model wrote, “Rox’s dad is 24!!!” while tagging the Pirates pitcher and adding a birthday cake emoji.
But the birthday tribute didn’t stop at the shoreline. Dunne also shared a glamorous look behind the scenes of a formal event they attended together. In the second photo, she looks absolutely stunning in a strapless burgundy micro minidress while playfully adjusting Skenes’ bow tie. It’s exactly the kind of effortlessly chic look that inspires couples looking for the perfect celebrity couple date night fashion.
From LSU Royalty to a Global Power Couple
The high-profile pair famously met during their college days at Louisiana State University (LSU), where Dunne was making waves as a top-tier NCAA gymnast and Skenes was leading the Tigers to a National Championship on the baseball diamond. Since then, their relationship has skyrocketed in the public eye, making them one of the most followed young duos in the sports world.
While they both lead incredibly busy lives—with Skenes dominating on the mound for Pittsburgh and Dunne navigating life as a massive digital creator—they always find time to support one another’s milestones. Whether it’s a major career victory or a quiet birthday by the water, they love to give fans a taste of how they pull off unforgettable anniversary and birthday celebrations.
As Skenes continues his stellar season in the majors, according to updates on People Magazine, Dunne remains his biggest cheerleader, proving that despite the massive media glare, this young couple is as grounded and supportive as ever.
