For the final photo, Dunne smiled along with the caption: “When he throws 100 mph.”
The post captioned “fastball in my heart” drew a huge response from many of his eight million followers.
“Paul Skenes is a hero. You won the lottery,” said one fan.
“I play 100 with two combined throws. Does that count?” she asked for a second.
While another joked: “Just so you know, I score touchdowns at 100mph and then dunk to celebrate
Drafted first overall in 2023, Skenes made his long-awaited MLB debut on May 11 and has more than lived up to the hype since then.
In five games, Skenes pitched 373 times in 22 innings, allowing just 15 hits, two home runs and 30 strikeouts.
This included two wins on May 29 against the Detroit Tigers on his birthday.
Dunne congratulated her boyfriend on his big day on Instagram, sharing an adorable photo of them together at the stadium.
After his impressive day in the office, racking up nine strikeouts against Detroit, Dunne also shared a video of his performance.
“Nothing like some B-Day K,” she wrote.
They then went into town to celebrate, enjoying a meal together, with Dunne sharing a cheeky photo of a blissfully unconscious Skenes reading the menu.
DUNNE AND SKENES’ SUMMER OF LOVE
Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes managed to keep their relationship a secret before finally going public last summer.
The two met at LSU, but it’s unclear when they started dating.
Rumors of a romance began when Dunne watched LSU win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, last summer.
And Dunne posted selfies from Fort Myers, Fla., where Skenes was playing.
He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and began his professional career playing in the minor leagues in the Sunshine State.
The final clue came when Dunne posed in a Pirates cap before the pair finally went public.
While 2024 was a big year for Skenes, the same goes for Dunne.
She capped off her senior season in Baton Rouge with the Tigers’ first NCAA National Championship win.
After the victory, Dunne admitted on the NBC show Today that she hadn’t yet decided whether or not she would return for another season.
“I’m just focused on now and winning this national title. So I’ll definitely start thinking about it,” she admitted.
Elsewhere, Dunne recently addressed celebratory red carpet events in New York and Florida in celebration of Sports Illustrated’s 2024 Swimsuit Issue.
This marked Dunne’s second consecutive appearance in the annual issue, this time joined by the likes of Paige Spiranac, Kate Hudson, Gayle King and Xandra Pohl, among others.
