Paul Skenes and Olivia “Livvy” Dunne received the VIP treatment as they traveled to Texas for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game. The couple shared their luxurious journey on Instagram, with the LSU gymnast and top NIL earner posting a photo of them posing in front of a private jet on Sunday.
“All-Star game bound!” the 21-year-old Dunne captioned the photo, adding a heart hands emoji.
Skenes, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who led LSU to the 2023 College World Series title before being drafted No. 1 overall by Pittsburgh, was seen smiling aboard the private plane alongside Dunne and their friends.
This trip came after the couple spent a weekend in Chicago, where the Pirates secured two wins against the White Sox before the All-Star break.
Dunne, originally from New Jersey, gifted Skenes a new Dior tie for his first MLB All-Star Game. She shared the thoughtful gesture in a TikTok video posted during their time in Chicago. “Before Paul starts I usually get him a new tie and he’s about to go to the All-Star game,” Dunne said in the video. “… He better like it.”

Dunne also surprised Skenes with a balloon display that read “All-Star” after he made history by becoming the first player to be drafted No. 1 overall and then be named to the following year’s All-Star team, according to USA Today.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model has been a supportive presence throughout Skenes’ budding career. She was there when the rookie flamethrower made his MLB debut against the Chicago Cubs on May 11.
Skenes is set to make further history as just the fifth rookie pitcher to start in a Midsummer Classic. At 22 years old, he boasts an impressive 6-0 record with a 1.90 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP over the first 11 starts of his major league career.
The 94th MLB All-Star Game will be held at Globe Life Field, the home of the Texas Rangers, in Arlington on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast on Fox.
