Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher, Paul Skenes, was seen playing at Franklin Park with kids at the Ingomar Franklin Park Little League. Former Louisiana State University Tigers gymnast and girlfriend of Skenes, Olivia Dunne, reacted to it on a social media post.

Dunne and Skenes were on Perry Highway in Wexford, Pa., when Skenes saw the lights and decided to visit the kids playing ball. Dunne was seen posting on TikTok about it per a video posted to X by MLFootball on June 9, 2026.

"Remembering your MLB bf is just a boy bc wdym he saw a little league team practicing while driving home and pulled over to show me and play catch with them."

Skenes has played three seasons with the Pirates since being drafted first overall in the 2023 Major League Baseball draft. Having played a total of 68 games for his team, Skenes boasts two All-Star game nominations as well as the NL Cy Young Award for the best pitcher in 2025. He clearly still finds time for the smaller joys in life.

Skenes was just watching the practice, but soon started playing with the kids after they noticed him on the bench. He stayed for over two hours, even signing autographs and posing for pictures with them.

Skenes told MLB about his impromptu visit to the Franklin Park Little League's kids.

"There's a lot of things that make [baseball] a business and it's work, it's a job for us for sure, but on some days more than others, you got to remember you love the game and why you started playing it in the first place. So, it was good for me to go and visit them."

Dunne was emotional as well, seeing her boyfriend and kids have fun. She was seen pouting at the adorable interaction between her boyfriends and the children.

After retiring from competing professionally in 2025, she has made leaps and bounds in another field of work.

Olivia Dunne Taking a Step In A Different Field

Dunne earned All-America honors on the uneven bars in 2021 and helped LSU secure a national title. She is now off to a fresh start.

Dunne has also been modeling for four years and has worked with Sports Illustrated in 2023. She has now stepped into acting instead.

She was cast as Grace in the Baywatch reboot of the original 1989 series. The FOX reboot is slated to come out in 2027.

She had previously also submitted an audition for the famous show 'White Lotus', but unfortunately was not shortlisted for the role. She has been taking acting classes for a while now, per her exclusive interview with PEOPLE on February 7, 2026.

"One thing people would be surprised about is that I take acting lessons — and I really love it," she claimed.

Dunne is also one of the most influential figures in the name, image, and likeness (NIL) space, with a valuation of $4.1 million per a 2025 On3 report.
