MLB All-Star red carpet couple and Skenes' performance

Overview

During the 2026 MLB All-Star break, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes and his girlfriend, influencer Livvy Dunne, drew significant media attention. On July 14, the pair debuted on the All-Star red carpet in Philadelphia, wearing coordinated lavender and black outfits. Following the event, Dunne highlighted Skenes’ signature “splinker” pitch at Fanatics Fest and shared photos from a Florida vacation with him on Instagram.

As the season progressed, Skenes remained a central figure in the Pirates’ National League wild-card chase. By late July, despite a 9-9 record and a 3.65 ERA, Skenes stated the team was “blocking out the noise” and that the trade deadline would not affect their focus.

In August, the couple was seen vacationing in Key Biscayne and Lake Oconee following a game against the Miami Marlins. This period coincided with public scrutiny regarding a dip in Skenes’ fastball velocity. While former pitcher Curt Schilling questioned Skenes’ physical conditioning on social media, both Skenes and Pirates manager Don Kelly clarified that the pitcher is not currently dealing with an injury. Skenes noted he respected the decision to be pulled early from the Marlins game as the team manages his workload.
