Livvy Dunne wowed by baseball star's impressive performance... but it's NOT boyfriend Paul Skenes
The TikTok sensation and former LSU gymnast was at Truist Park in Atlanta with her Pirates-star beau Paul Skenes for the annual All-Star Game event on Monday night.
And while taking in the action, Dunne could not believe her eyes when Pittsburgh outfielder Oneil Cruz let rip with one of his 21 home runs that saw him advance to the semifinals.
Cruz, who crushed a 513-foot homer on the night, averaged 447 feet during the first round with a top exit velocity of 118mph.
Dunne shared a video on Instagram of the Dominican star sending one flying into the stands, before spinning the camera round to show her stunned reaction.
She also included the caption 'holy cr@p' while saying in the background 'oh my god'.
Dunne and Skenes, who is set to make his second consecutive All-Star game start on Tuesday after being drafted by the Pirates last year, were captured on ESPN's broadcast cheering on Cruz from the sidelines.
The social-media beauty also shared a pic of her and Paul taking in the festitivies while sat side by side.
Earlier on Monday, Dunne had shared a pair of snaps to her Instagram Story of herself and her man on a private jet bound for the ATL.
The couple rode in style and in comfort - with the cabin of the aircraft adorned with slick wood accents and cushioned leather chairs.
The couple are both in Georgia this week after Skenes was named one of the best baseball players at this point in the season.

Astronomer launches ‘formal investigation' after married CEO Andy Byron and HR boss caught on Coldplay ‘kiss cam'
Software company Astronomer has launched a formal investigation after its married CEO and head of HR were caught being intimate at a Coldplay concert, engulfing the internet in rumors of an alleged affair between the boss and his underling. 'Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' the company said in a statement on LinkedIn. 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly. Social media went into meltdown after footage showing Andy Byron and his company's Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, awkwardly jumping out of each other's arms as they flashed up on a 'kiss cam' during the band's show in Boston Wednesday night. Byron, who had his arms wrapped around Cabot's waist from behind, quickly let her go as his HR chief covered her face with her hands, and he crouched down, trying to hide from the camera. 'Oh, they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped as the pair ran away from where they were standing. In its statement the company sought to clarify several details about the incident and the aftermath, including that Byron had responded. 'Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect,' the statement read. Byron has been CEO of Astronomer, a New York City-based data orchestration platform that 'empowers data teams to bring mission-critical analytics, Ai, and software to life,' since 2023, according to the company's LinkedIn page. Meanwhile, Cabot joined the team nine months ago, according to her LinkedIn.

Tech company addresses CEO and HR boss cuddling at Coldplay concert
The artificial intelligence firm whose CEO and HR boss were caught in an embarrassing clinch at a Coldplay concert has issued a terse statement on the scandal. Astronomy, a billion-dollar AI company, wrote on LinkedIn that it has opened an investigation into the incident, and insisted it 'is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.' 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,' the statement read. The moment went viral as Andrew Byron, the firm's CEO, fell to his knees as a kiss-cam at a concert for the rock band zeroed in on him and his apparent partner at the show, his Chief People Officer Kirstin Cabot. The company said it's board of directors has 'initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' The tech firm added that reports that its vice-president of HR, Alyssa Stoddard, was not at the event, as had been claimed on social media. 'Andy Byron has not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect,' the statement concluded. It is unclear if the pair have been suspended, but that astronomy's board have likely been hugely embarrassed by the multi-day saga which has swept the globe and has been viewed millions of times on social media. The viral moment unfolded Tuesday night at Gillette Stadium, as Byron and Cabot were seen cuddled in each other's arms enjoying the show. As they appeared on the big screen, the pair panicked, with Byron falling to his knees and Cabot putting her face in her hands and turning away. The crowd roared with laughter at the sight, while frontman Chris Martin said: 'Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy.' After the hilarious kiss-cam video circulated through social media, Daily Mail revealed that Byron exclaimed '[expletive] hell, it's me' as he appeared on the stadium big screen. Cabot, 56, seemingly uttered a more measured, 'this is awkward', on realizing she and Byron were exposed. On Friday, new footage emerged showing Martin's cringing reaction once the pair had moved off the big screen. 'I don't know what to do,' the singer said through laughter as the crowd erupted. 'Oh [expletive], I hope we didn't do something bad.' Byron's firm is valued at over $1 billion, with the company experiencing rapid growth since he became CEO in 2023. That year, Astronomer reported a 292% growth in revenue for its 'Astro' platform. Just a week before his unfortunate viral fame, Byron appeared on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) TV to celebrate the company after it raised $93 million in its Series D round of financing. A beaming Byron described the investment as 'a huge opportunity' and 'very exciting' for the firm. When Cabot joined the firm as HR boss in November 2024, Byron heaped praise on her, saying she would be a 'perfect fit' at his company. 'Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,' he said in a press release at the time. 'She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer.' The Coldplay fan who filmed the moment that Byron and Cabot were caught on the kiss-cam, Grace Springer, 28, spoke out on Friday as her footage became a global hit . Grace, from New Jersey, told the US Sun that she had no idea who the pair were when they sent the stadium into hysteria. She said the moment became the talk of the show due to their 'interesting reaction', and admitted that 'a part of me feels bad for turning these people's lives upside down.' But she added in a cheeky swipe: 'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.' Springer said there was 'a lot of talk' about the kiss cam at the show, but 'no one knew who they were'.
