Skenes and Dunne Have Made the Most of their Offseason

The Pirates’ season ended on Sept. 27, and the couple have made sure to take this time to go do things they normally don’t have the energy nor schedule for. 

Skenes helped celebrated Dunne’s 23rd birthday at her apartment in New York City and the couple saw the Statue of Liberty as well.

Dunne also purchased a new home in Jupiter, Fla. and Skenes came along, helping her move in and set up, as well as making great use of his new hot dog roller. Skenes also added a hilarious, new piece of art for the kitchen as well. 

The couple also went back to their alma mater, LSU, and watched the No. 10 football team take down South Carolina, 20-10 at Tiger Stadium on Oct. 11, while they also met popular podcaster and stand-up comedian Theo Von. 

Skenes and Dunne went on vacation to Taormina, Italy, a hilltop town off the east coast of Sicily. 

They also celebrated Halloween, with Skenes dressing as Borat and Dunne dressing as Pamela Anderson.

Dunne also honored Skenes after he won his first National League Cy Young Award, with cakes, cookies, elaborate lights
