Olivia “Livvy” Dunne celebrated turning a “tini bit older” Tuesday with a special someone.
One day before her 23rd birthday, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model stepped out in New York City for a date night with her boyfriend, Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.
In photos shared on Instagram Wednesday — Dunne’s actual birthday — the former LSU gymnast is seen rocking a gold mini dress and black heels, while Skenes, 23, sported a blue checked shirt, light-wash pants and white sneakers.
Other snapshots featured Dunne holding up a martini glass adorned with sprinkles and a birthday candle, with the captioning reading: “A tini bit older.”
Dunne’s birthday festivities came days after Skenes wrapped the 2025 season with the Pirates.
In his final appearance of the year, a 4-3 win over the Reds on Sept. 24, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year pitched six shutout innings en route to a 1.97 ERA for the year.
“Yeah, I got a hundredth worse than last year,” said Skenes, whose ERA was 1.96 last year. “I’m actually worse than I was last year. I’m just kidding. It’s cool. I don’t come into the year with any numerical goals or anything like that, any stat goals, but it’s a product of doing what you’re supposed to do.”
The former No. 1 overall pick became the first qualified pitcher aged 23 or younger to secure a sub-2.00 ERA since Dwight Golden in 1985, according to MLB.
Dunne was in attendance for Skenes’ last start of the year and recapped her favorite moments of the season in the Instagram post entitled, “2025 szn highlight reel.”
Dunne and Skenes, a fellow former LSU star, have publicly supported one another’s careers since confirming their relationship in 2023, the same year he was drafted into MLB.
