Livvy Dunne proudly cheered on boyfriend Paul Skenes from the stands on Tuesday as he finished a scoreless first inning in the MLB All-Star Game.

The rookie Skenes was selected as the NL's starting pitcher on the back of a blazing start to his MLB career with the Pirates.

And Dunne could be seen screaming from the stands when he earned his final out of the inning as Aaron Judge grounded out to third base.


Skenes was then replaced by pitcher Max Fried in the second inning.

Skenes, 22, is just the fifth rookie pitcher to start an All-Star Game in the showcase's 94-year-history.

The last rookie pitcher to start an All-Star Game was Hideo Nomo, who started while playing for the Dodgers in 1995.

Earlier in the day, the superstar rookie and Dunne walked the red carpet at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas ahead of Tuesday night's game.

It came one day after the couple jetted into Texas on a private jet, which the gymnast documented on her TikTok page. 

The couple met at LSU, as Skenes starred on the school's baseball team and Dunne on the gymnastics squad.

She recently announced that she'd be returning for a fifth year at the school. 

Skenes, meanwhile, has had an unbelievable start to life in the MLB, registering a 1.90 ERA in 66.1 innings to date.

The Pirates pitcher had a no-hitter going through seven innings last week before he was pulled ahead of the eighth frame

'You know what, it would have been a cool accolade to say that you threw a no-hitter your rookie year,' Dunne said on the ESPYs red carpet.

'But also you got to make that arm last long, so I don't blame them,' she added.

Skenes added that he 'Definitely wanted to finish it,' after the game.

'Throwing every six days, five days, whatever it is now, I definitely understand that side of it.'
