The 2025 MLB All-Star Game allowed Livvy Dunne and Chelsea Freeman to have their “Step Brothers” best friends moment.
Dunne and Freeman each posted a photo to their respective Instagram Stories of them sharing a smile before Tuesday’s game, with Freeman captioning the photo, “New Bestie,” with two heart emojis.
The 22-year-old Dunne, the girlfriend of NL starter Paul Skenes, took her fans behind the scenes of Tuesday’s festivities in Atlanta.
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.
