On August 30, 2025, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes took the mound against the Boston Red Sox in their series opener at Fenway Park. Skenes, who is considered a front-runner for the NL Cy Young award this season, was supported from the stands by his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne.
Dunne, who recently retired from gymnastics, was in the stands wearing a white top and denim jeans, showing her support for the two-time All-Star. She shared a clip of Skenes' outing on TikTok, where she lip-synced to Chris Stapleton's hit single "Maddie's Song" as Skenes struck out Red Sox outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela.
Despite conceding a season-high seven hits, Skenes delivered a solid outing, pitching six strong innings and striking out six batters. His performance helped the Pirates turn around a 2-0 deficit and win the series opener 4-2 against the Red Sox.
Dunne, who had missed Skenes' last start against the Colorado Rockies to attend the U.S. Open, was back in the stands to support her boyfriend. The former LSU gymnast has been a constant presence at Skenes' games, sharing her outfits and cheering him on from the sidelines.
