Pirates' Paul Skenes Starts Consecutive MLB All-Star Games, Supported by Livvy Dunne

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has solidified his status as one of MLB's brightest young stars by starting in two consecutive All-Star Games at the beginning of his career, a feat shared with only a few Hall of Famers. In the 2025 All-Star Game at Truist Park, Skenes dominated the National League's first inning by striking out Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene and inducing a groundout from Aaron Judge, while his fastballs reached 100 mph multiple times, making history in the Statcast era. Skenes's girlfriend, social media star and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, has been a visible and supportive figure, sharing memorable moments such as a red carpet scene where Skenes helped her with her shoe, and accompanying him on private jet travels between games. The couple's relationship began at LSU, and both remain prominent faces in sports and media, often seen together at games and events, representing a major sports power couple. Additionally, Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz also made headlines by advancing out of the first round of the Home Run Derby and setting franchise records for home runs hit during the competition, with Dunne and Skenes supporting him in the festivities. Skenes currently ranks among MLB leaders in ERA, strikeouts, and other pitching metrics despite the Pirates' inconsistent offensive support throughout the 2025 season.
