Paul Skenes' girlfriend Olivia Dunne kills it with an epic pose at Pirates ace’s debut patch

Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes' girlfriend has been an ever-present supporter of the reigning NL Rookie of the Year. Her support has gone to the next level since Dunne announced her retirement from gymnastics earlier this year.

Following her retirement, the former LSU Tigers gymnast has been rocking up to Pirates games more frequently to show her support for her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, on the mound.

On Friday, Dunne attended the Fanatics Fest at Javita Center in New York. At the event, Dunne dropped an epic post in front of Skenes' Rookie Debut Patch on display.

The 1-of-1 debut patch card, autographed by the All-Star hurler was auctioned at $1.11 million in March. It was the second most expensive Topps card sold among active players as three-time MVP Mike Trout's rookie card remains at the top with a $3.9 million sale in 2020.

The patch was worn by Skenes on his MLB debut in May 2024. The value of the card skyrocketed after Paul Skenes compiled a historic rookie season, finishing as one of three finalists for the NL Cy Young award.

An anonymous 11-year-old got his hands on the exclusive card and turned down a lucrative deal from the Pirates. His family auctioned the card despite the Pirates offering two season tickets behind home plate for the next 30 years, a meeting with Paul Skenes and his autographed jerseys.

However, the former LSU star turned down the proposal with a hilarious message on X.
