While he may not be out on the diamond, Paul Skenes is still showing up for Pittsburgh’s sports scene.
The Pirates pitcher cheered on the city’s NFL franchise, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sunday with girlfriend Olivia Dunne.
The sporting power couple turned heads as they showed up on the sidelines at Acrisure Stadium for the Steelers’ clash with the Baltimore Ravens.
The MLB star looked dapper in a black shirt and grey overcoat, while the LSU gymnast repped the NFL team in a retro-style Steelers bomber jacket.
Skenes arrived in Pittsburgh in May when he was called up from the minors after being selected with the No. 1 draft pick in 2023.
He impressed in his rookie season, finishing with an 11-3 record with a 1.96 ERA, 170 strikeouts and a 0.95 WHIP.
The pitcher also received nominations for the NL Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young Award which will be announced on November 18 and 20 respectively.
Skenes and Dunne have been dating for over a year, going back to his days pitching for LSU.
The social media sensation has been a frequent feature at his MLB games as she juggles her fifth and final year with the Tigers.
But the couple have also soaked up some sporting action together, most recently appearing on ESPN’s College GameDay.
The Tigers alumni were given the honor of appearing as the guest pickers on the ESPN program when Pat McAfee and Co. visited Baton Rouge for the rivalry showdown between LSU and Alabama earlier this month.
Dunne returned to LSU this year for a fifth and final season with the Tigers.
Her final campaign follows their NCAA title-winning efforts at the end of her senior year. The 2023-24 team brought the university’s first national title in gymnastics to Baton Rouge after a dominant regular season.
The Tigers secured their first NCAA title by scoring 198.225 to beat California (197.850), Utah (197.800) and Florida (197.4375) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
