Known for being a generational pitching prospect and a dominant ace, Paul Skenes stays in the headlines for more than just his MLB performances, with his relationship with Olivia Dunne also keeping fans interested. Now, the MLB star has once again made headlines after pulling off a wild romantic flex, seemingly deciding that “texts weren’t enough” in his romance.
Olivia Dunne reveals how Paul Skenes surprised her with an early-morning movie date
Dunne recently posted a TikTok video documenting how Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes surprised her by renting out a movie theater early in the morning.
Olivia Dunne wrote, “Apparently good morning texts weren’t enough so here we are at a rented out movie theatre at 8am.”
“The Odyssey with a side of breakfast,” she added, revealing that they’re watching a new Christopher Nolan film.
The clip began with the baseball star wearing a white cap, blue sweater, and black shorts while holding a tray filled with snacks and beverages for them. As the power couple walked into the theater, the 23-year-old’s video showed rows of empty seats. Olivia, dressed in an all-black outfit, also gave fans a glimpse of herself giving a thumbs-up. The retired gymnast’s video clearly showed that the entire theater had been booked for the power couple.
Talking about the power couple’s relationship timeline, the two started dating in early 2023. According to reports, they met through a mutual connection because Skenes’ friend was dating Dunne’s roommate and gymnastics teammate. The actress and model first spotted the more-than-6-foot-tall pitcher in the dugout, after which they went on an ice cream date.
Dating rumors surrounding the couple began spreading in June 2023 after the retired gymnast wore a baseball jersey while supporting LSU. In August 2023, Paul Skenes made their relationship official during an interview.
Since 2023, the power couple has remained together and frequently shared glimpses of their romance with fans.
