Dunne and Skenes met at LSU and have been dubbed the “Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce of the MLB.”

Skenes, a rookie pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates, has wowed fans with his early season performances.

Livvy has been a regular in the stands supporting her man following his ascension to the major leagues.

Away from the ballpark, the pair hit the water in Pittsburgh during some downtime on Thursday with their dog Roux.

Dunne tried her hand at fishing, sharing a snap from the Monongahela River with her 5.2 million Instagram followers.

The 21-year-old dazzled with a selfie from the water before Skenes lazed by the river in the late afternoon sun.

Dunne won a national title with the LSU Tigers in her senior year and looks set to leave gymnastics behind.

She is among the most lucrative college athletes in the country with a host of NIL deals.

The New Jersey native also made a splash with a recent Sports Illustrated model shoot.

It was Livvy’s second major appearance in the iconic swimwear magazine.

“SI Swim means to me being comfortable in your own skin and being undeniably you, which is something I still work on to this day,” Dunne told SI.

“Body image is something that a lot of girls struggle with, especially young girls.

“In the sport of gymnastics, [body image is] a huge thing, and it’s something that I’m still working on to this day, being confident.

“But SI’s really helped me to see that it’s ok to not be perfect and to just be comfortable in your own skin.”

Skenes meanwhile is fast living up to his billing as baseball’s hottest prospect.

DUNNE AND SKENES’ SUMMER OF LOVE

Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes managed to keep their relationship a secret before finally going public last summer.

The pair met at LSU, but it’s not clear when they started dating.

Rumors of a romance began when Dunne watched LSU win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska last summer.

And Dunne then posted selfies from Fort Myers in Florida, where Skenes was playing.

He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates and began his pro career by playing in minor leagues in the Sunshine State.

The final clue came when Dunne posed in a Pirates cap before the pair finally went public.

The 22-year-old has made 7 starts for the Pirates since his elevation from the minors in early May.

Over 39.1 innings pitched, Skenes has given up 32 hits, just 4 home runs, and has an impressive 2.29 ERA.

He has also struck out 53 batters with his mix of 100mph fastballs and devilish sliders.

“I get more nervous watching Paul because it’s just different when you’re not doing it, and you’re not in control,” Dunne recently told Bleacher Report.

“But I am confident in his abilities, and I kind of channel those nerves into excitement for him.
