On May 29, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes celebrated his 23rd birthday, and girlfriend Olivia Dunne made sure the day didn't pass without a heartfelt shoutout.

From love notes to nicknames:

's birthday post for Paul Skenes is all fans can talk about
'Happy birthday little baby @paulskenes 🤍🎂,' Livvy Dunne wrote, keeping the caption short but packed with love. The first image? A candid snap of the couple enjoying a serene dinner date, with Skenes munching on a fry as Dunne laughed lovingly beside him. It's a photo that encapsulates their chemistry—intimate, lighthearted, and completely in sync.
The post, filled with a total of seven photos, offered fans a rare glimpse into their private world.
From goofball selfies to prep moments before the 2025 BBWAA Awards Dinner and cuddles with their golden retriever Roux, Dunne's 'photo dump' was more than just a birthday tribute—it was a digital scrapbook of two young stars living in the moment.
The couple's journey began at LSU, where both were collegiate athletic standouts. Romance rumors swirled for months before Skenes finally confirmed their relationship in August 2023.

Since then, they've become a beloved fixture in the world of sports and social media—appearing together at games, events, red carpets, and magazine features.
In fact, their joint appearance in GQ earlier this year cemented their 'It Couple' status among Gen Z. Dressed to the nines for a chic photoshoot, the duo discussed their early dating days. Dunne hilariously recalled, 'I was like, 'Who is this kid and why won't he follow me back?'' Skenes, who is notably low-key online, hadn't even realized he left her hanging.
Their bond goes far beyond social media appearances and public admiration. In March, Dunne's gymnastics season ended abruptly due to an avulsion fracture in her kneecap. Though Skenes was away in spring training with the Pirates, his gesture spoke volumes. 'He had Starbucks and flowers and Raising Cane's delivered to me,' Dunne told PEOPLE, highlighting how he showed up for her even from miles away.
Now a three-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, Dunne has continued to juggle fame, fitness, and a thriving relationship with grace.
From Puerto Rico to Portugal and now the cover of the 2025 edition with a stunning Bermuda shoot, her modeling career has soared, even as she bids farewell to collegiate gymnastics.
Through it all, Skenes has been a grounding presence. Whether it's adjusting bowties before events or stealing kisses at LSU, their shared moments show us what young love, built on mutual respect and support, can look like in the spotlight.
As fans flood the comment section with birthday wishes and admiration, one thing is clear—Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes are more than just a pretty pair. They're building something real, one sweet memory at a time.
