Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, created a wave on social media when she posted a picture of herself soaking up the sun in a bright red bikini alongside her older sister, Jules Dunne, at Lake Oconee.
The sister duo struck a pose while enjoying a boat ride through wide-open water channels and quiet coves. The former LSU gymnast swept her hair back with a claw clip and wore a silver chain and diamond studs to complete her summer beach look. Jules, on the other hand, rocked a blue bikini, kept her hair open, and accessorized her look with a chic pair of sunglasses.
In the Instagram story post, Olivia also tagged one of Jules’ friends, Hayden Sample, who captured the two sisters together.

After retiring from gymnastics in 2025, Olivia Dunne is currently pursuing acting. She will be making her acting debut in the ‘Baywatch’ reboot, where she is playing the role of Grace, a highly enthusiastic junior lifeguard. The series is expected to come out in 2027. Dunne often shares sneak peeks of shoot days with her 5.1 million fans on Instagram.
Paul Skenes reveals what can fix his slump, and it is not the dip in velocity
The Pirates’ ace hasn’t been throwing as well as he was in the previous two seasons. His 1.96 ERA across 300 innings over the first two years was even better than the marks posted by MLB icons like Dwight Gooden, Blake Snell, and Vida Blue.
The glaring difference between his performance then and now is the dip in velocity. After pitching with an average velocity over 98 mph in the first two seasons, his current velocity is now down to 96.8 mph. However, Skenes thinks this isn’t why he has been going through a difficult time on the mound.
“I don’t think velocity is something I need to pitch well. I think it’s probably the first time in my career the velo has kinda dipped. It’s not something that I’m stressed over at all,” Paul Skenes said during All-Star week.
Paul Skenes believes that his performance has dipped due to a heavier workload this season.
“I think I’ve probably had more 30- to 35-pitch innings this year than I have probably had in the last two years combined, so that doesn’t help either,” he added.
Currently, the 3x All-Star holds a 9-11 record with a 3.88 ERA and 166 strikeouts over 25 games started so far in the 2026 MLB season.
