Livvy Dunne Had a Simple Message After Latest Paul Skenes Masterclass

Paul Skenes earned his seventh win of the season on Thursday night as the Pittsburgh Pirates shut out the Cincinnati Reds 7-0 at PNC Park.

The burly right-hander went six innings, giving up seven hits and no walks, while striking out eight. Though his win total is hampered by the Pirates struggles, he's got a 1.94 ERA and figures to be in the Cy Young conversation at the end of the year yet again.

Over two seasons in the big leagues, Skenes is now 18-11 with a 1.95 ERA.

After the start, his superstar girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, took to social media, commenting on an @CodifyBaseball post about his accomplishments saying that he is also handsome.

A simple, but wholesome reaction, indeed.

Skenes and Dunne have been together since both were student-athletes at LSU. Skenes helped lead the Tigers to the 2023 College World Series title and was then the No. 1 pick in the MLB Draft that year. Dunne just completed her time at LSU, where she was a member of the gymnastics team. LSU won a national title in the 2023-2024 campaign.

One of the most recognizable pop culture figures around right now, Dunne has amassed a large following on social media and has appeared in national commercials for brands like Vuori. She's also appeared in television coverage at the ESPYs and the Kentucky Derby.
