And the best boyfriend award goes to … Paul Skenes.
The Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher rescued his girlfriend, Olivia “Livvy” Dunne, from a potential wardrobe mishap when he stopped to tie her lace-up high heels on the MLB All-Star Game red carpet Tuesday in Atlanta.
Skenes, who’s 6’6″, bent all the way down to carefully tie Dunne’s white heels as she lifted her dress. The gymnast thanked him afterward, and they continued holding hands down the red carpet.

Dunne, 22, shared the cute moment captured by the MLB on her Instagram Stories with the text, “Gentleman Paul Skenes.”
The social media influencer looked gorgeous in a navy blue sleeveless Silvia Tcherassi dress that retails for $1,590. While the maxi dress is conservative in the front, Dunne showed off the sexy back cutout in a mirror selfie that she also posted on her Stories.
She put her signature blond hair in an updo — leaving a few flattering face-framing locks down — to highlight the dress’ turtleneck. Gold hoop earrings and a hand bracelet that looped around her middle finger completed her look.

Dunne and Skenes, 23, have been dating for two years after meeting at LSU.
Aside from dating the star pitcher, Dunne has plenty going on herself after graduating from LSU in December 2024. This year, she was chosen as one of four cover stars for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, showing off her athletic body in a zebra-print bikini.
Despite her internet popularity, she revealed earlier this month that she was rejected from purchasing the late Babe Ruth’s former New York City apartment, telling her social media followers that the building voted “not to have me live there.”

She claimed she offered $1.59 million in cash, but was denied by the co-op board of the Upper West Side building.
The Post later reported that the co-op board rejected Dunne because she overshared about the potential purchase on her Instagram.
“She messed up,” one neighbor said. “The board got pissed because she put it on her Instagram.”
