Olivia Dunne is in Arlington, Texas this week experiencing all the MLB All-Star Game has to offer.
Her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes, will be the starting pitcher for the National League in the actual game tomorrow night. Tonight, Dunne and Skenes are at Globe Life Field watching the Home Run Derby.
Even though Skenes isn’t participating, Dunne is still representing him with her choice of attire, which includes a customized Paul Skenes tank top.
Dunne posted a closeup photo of her shirt, which includes a cowboy boot with Skenes’ name written on it, a cowboy hat with his No. 30 resting on the boot and the phrase “All-Star” on the side, on her Instagram story.
A fan also posted a photo with Dunne tonight in which you can get another look at her shirt.

Skenes’ MLB career has lived up to the hype thus far. Through his first 11 starts, the LSU product is 6-0 with a 1.90 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 89 strikeouts in 66.1 innings.
In his final start before the break, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s MLB Draft threw seven no-hit innings.
As for Dunne, she made a major statement about her own gymnastics future last week when she revealed she’d be returning to LSU for her final season of eligibility.
“Dear LSU: These past four years have changed my life,” Dunne said in a video last Monday. “There’s something about putting on a purple and gold leotard. There’s something about competing in front of 13,000 screaming Tiger fans. There’s something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best, and there’s something about being part of a team that made school history.
“And no matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there’s just something about LSU. That’s why, I’m here to say, I’m not Dunne yet.”
