Skenes Wins Cy Young, Celebrates with Olivia Dunne

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has been awarded the 2025 Cy Young award unanimously, a significant career achievement. His girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, shared a heartwarming glimpse into their Christmas celebrations, highlighting the win with a custom ornament and captioning it 'a Cy Young Christmas indeed.' Skenes delivered an outstanding performance throughout the season, recording an MLB-best 1.97 ERA.

This victory places Skenes among an elite group of Pirates pitchers to ever receive the prestigious award. The couple was together during the announcement, sharing a celebratory embrace, much like they did when Skenes received the NL Rookie of the Year honor last year.

Beyond baseball, Skenes and Dunne recently participated in a USO Tour aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford and USS Mahan. They both expressed the profound impact of connecting with service members, finding inspiration in their dedication and experiences, drawing parallels to Skenes' own military academy background.
