Paul Skenes rang in the new year with his girlfriend Livvy Dunne with one big noticeable difference.
The Pittsburgh Pirates ace had an amazing 2025 including winning the Cy Young Award on a night where his influencer and ex-LSU gymnast girlfriend Dunne upstaged him in her head-turning dress.

The 23-year-old also moved into a new apartment in New York City and a house in Florida with Dunne, also 23, where they have an awesome MLB ballpark feature inside.
The couple spent the holiday season together where they took in a New Jersey Devils game where Dunne outshined Tate McRae.
Now, they spent New Year’s Eve together where Dunne posted this picture.
