Paul Skenes\u2019 prowess as a boyfriend<\/a> might match what he can do on the mound.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Pirates pitcher stopped on the MLB All-Star Game red carpet to help his girlfriend, social media influencer and former LSU gymnast, Olivia \u201cLivvy\u201d Dunne, re-lace her heel after it apparently came undone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The right-handed flamethrower dropped to one knee as cameras caught him assisting Dunne with her heel before the two continued on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair walked the red carpet outside Truist Park in Atlanta ahead of the All-Star Game, which Skenes is starting on the mound for the National League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skenes sported a grey-looking David Alan suit that featured a light blue collar along with a pair of aviator sunglasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dunne arrived in a navy blue sleeveless Silvia Tcherassi dress that she paired with white lace-up heels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dunne shared the MLB social media post on her Instagram story that featured the words, \u201cGentleman Paul Skenes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old also shared the footage on her TikTok page and captioned the post, \u201cBig P to the rescue,\u201d along with a flaming heart emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skenes and Dunne have been dating for two years after meeting while athletes at LSU.<\/p>\n

The righty has dominated with a 2.01 ERA and 131 strikeouts this season for the Pirates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He earned his second consecutive All-Star start, though he has only recorded four wins on a struggling Pirates squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYes [wins and losses matter]. They do,\u201d Skenes told MLB Network on the red carpet. \u201cIt\u2019s not a perfect stat. It definitely matters because I think it\u2019s indicative of whether you\u2019re in the game when the game is being decided, I guess. If you\u2019re helping your team win or lose, you\u2019re probably in the game at that time, I think.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skenes said that he\u2019s always tinkering with his pitches during the course of the season since spring training.<\/p>\n

Dunne graduated from LSU in December and hinted that she could look to do some acting in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now it\u2019s trying to go to as many baseball games as I can,\u201d Dunne said when discussing what she\u2019s been up to. \u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed watching him, but right now, I\u2019m also going to try to do more performing arts stuff myself. I\u2019ve always loved to perform as a gymnast, whether it\u2019s diving into acting or some kind of other art, I\u2019ve always been passionate about.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Skenes\u2019 prowess as a boyfriend might match what he can do on the mound.\u00a0 The Pirates pitcher…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2402],"tags":[5,4,13669,9899,877,10,776,64,4297,185,4298],"class_list":{"0":"post-179315","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-pirates","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-mlb-all-star-game","11":"tag-olivia-dunne","12":"tag-paul-skenes","13":"tag-pirates","14":"tag-pittsburgh","15":"tag-pittsburgh-pirates","16":"tag-pittsburghpirates","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-sports-entertainment"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114860002253036556","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
