The All-Star Game allows the players to bring their families and partners, and at some point she linked up with Freeman, the wife of Dodgers star and World Series MVP Freddie Freeman.
And, yes, please remember this photo when Paul Skenes becomes a free agent and the Dodgers — since they seemingly sign everyone — attempt to sign him.

With Skenes being the Pirates' only representative, it left plenty of time for Dunne and Skenes to mingle with stars from the other teams.
Dunne also showcased other scenes from the red carpet and from the game itself.
She posted photos of the front and back of her blue dress to her Instagram Story, along with videos of her and Skenes walking and Skenes helping tie her heel.

Dunne also revealed she had field-level seats to watch her boyfriend post a perfect first inning, including a clip from the game-opening strikeout of ex-Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres.
'Welcome to the paul-star game,' she wrote alongside a star.

She provided a second fawning tweet that featured the camera view of Skenes striking out Tigers outfielder Riley Greene with the caption: 'Boom shakalaka.'
In an ironic yet all too familiar twist, the NL team blew the rare run support that Skenes received before securing the walk-off win in the home-run swing-off.
Skenes is 4-8 despite posting a 2.01 ERA and having allowed two earned runs or less in 17 of his 20 starts. He is 0-3 with a 1.77 ERA in eight starts since his last win on May 28.
The Pirates open the second half at home against the White Sox on Friday.

Couple Save for Wedding Then Senior Dog Got Sick—They Had To Make A Choice
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When their 15-year-old Chihuahua mix Elvis fell ill, Heather and her fiancé knew exactly what to do. Instead of planning their wedding, Heather and her partner redirected the money to save their dog's life. As Elvis began suffering seizures Heather, 29, from Maine rushed him to the vet. "We've had multiple ER visits and appointments with his normal doctor to try and figure out why he's passing out/having seizures. This weekend, he stayed at the emergency vet, and then we brought him back the night we got him back because he had two seizures again," Heather told Newsweek. Elvis, who also has early-stage kidney disease, suffered three episodes in a single night, prompting Heather to rush him to the ER again. Despite extensive testing—including X-rays, EKGs, ultrasounds, and a heart monitor—the cause remains unclear. Heather and her fiancé with their senior dog. Heather and her fiancé with their senior dog. @ "They kept going back from neurology to cardiology to try and figure out which one is the issue. We still don't exactly know what the main issue is, it could just be a factor of everything being a little off," Heather said. But thankfully, after a few days care from veterinarians, Elvis was ready to come home. "We picked him up last night and let me say the king is back," Heather said, delighted. "We're still going to take it easy, but I could not be happier at this moment." The couple had planned a low-key elopement this summer, with Elvis front and center. "I haven't nailed down the wedding plan yet. I know Elvis is older, and I want him to be a part of it. We have a photoshoot scheduled in August with him. We had planned to elope at the end of this summer and have a low-key, backyard event with immediate family, so that way Elvis could be a guaranteed part of it," Heather said.

"I'll go into debt over my dog but not over a wedding. I think the plan now is just to figure out something small with Elvis there and plan a bigger celebration at some point later," she said, although the couple did not share the full cost of the vet bill. According to a poll by Talker Research for the insurance company MetLife, the average pet owner spent $2,085.60 on their animals in 2024. Despite pet owners increasingly seeing their pets as part of the family, a survey by PetSmart Charities found that 52 percent of owners have skipped or declined medical care for their pet. Of those, 71 percent cite cost as the key factor, whether because they could not afford it, they did not think it was worth the cost, or both. Amber Batteiger, from Embrace Pet Insurance previously told Newsweek: "Our average individual claim cost in 2024 was $445, but pet emergencies can cost tens of thousands of dollars." Because of this, she recommended pet owners have an emergency fund for pet medical issues, aiming for around $2,000 per pet. The couple shared how they spent their wedding fund on saving their pet, with the video on Instagram gaining more than 40,000 views since being posted earlier this week. "Would give everything I have for this little boy," the caption says, while the on-screen text reads: "When you spend your whole wedding budget saving your 15 year old dog." "Elvis deserves the whole world," said one commenter. While another wrote: "They are worth every single penny." "I've always said Elvis comes first; he lives a better life than me because I owe him my life. I got him in high school, my sister, who passed away actually picked him out... I was the first person he let hold, and it was soulmates from there," Heather said. "I'm not kidding when I say I love him more than anything in the world (maybe fiancé excluded)."

Why Mic'd up Caitlin Clark booed her own team for All-Star gaffe
Despite the fact that Caitlin Clark was injured and couldn't play in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, it sure seemed like she was having a blast. That included her rooting on her teammates and pals on All-Star Friday and coaching her team on Saturday, both of which the Indiana Fever star did great jobs at. MORE CAITLIN CLARK: The 5 funniest moments from the All-Star Game There was one moment in particular that was hilarious. As her team's coach, she drew up a play for them to run to set up for a four-pointer (yes, there were spots deep that players could try to hit from for four). They executed it pretty well, but the shot was missed. So how did the competitive Clark respond? As we could tell from the mic'd up portion of the broadcast, it was by booing her own team. Too funny! What's the latest update on Caitlin Clark's injury? It appeared to be a groin injury that she suffered on Tuesday, but we have no word yet on when she's returning to play for the Fever after the All-Star break.
