Livvy Dunne pays bonkers price for boyfriend’s Paul Skenes rare rookie card

Livvy Dunne has had quite a weekend to remember from a chicken finger eating contest with world champion Joey Chestnut, to having a drink spilled all over her and ruining her perfect fit, to enjoying Fanatics Fest, to now buying a super rare baseball card of her boyfriend for a lot of money.

The 22-year-old has been quite busy since her gymnastics career at LSU came to an end, even doing “Riders Up” at the Kentucky Oaks horse races in competiting pink dresses with her sister Julz Dunne, and dropping the splits in a bikini on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway in Miami.

Dunne has been dating Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes since 2023 when both went to LSU. She’s attended a lot of his games as his No. 1 fan. She had wanted him to get his 1/1 rookie card that a kid pulled and auctioned it off for $1.1 million, but she found a different one — and a lot less expensive — to get for him. Still, she bargained to get a rare rookie card of him for $2850.

The card features Japanese anime on it and is super cool.

She can now gift it to Skenes — he got her a special one of her dog Roux for her birthday.
