Olivia Dunne is a big fan of her all-star boyfriend Paul Skenes!
The 21-year-old gymnast walked the red carpet with Skenes, 22, at the MLB’s 94th All-Star Game, held in Arlington, Texas, on July 16.
The athletic couple looked glamorous as they greeted fans and posed for photos hand-in-hand before the Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher made his All-Star Game debut.
Dunne dazzled in a sparkly halter dress while Skenes looked dapper in a light gray suit and sunglasses.
Dunne even joined Skenes for an on-camera interview with the MLB Network during the red carpet appearance.
Skenes, who is just the fifth-ever rookie to start in the league's All-Star exhibition, gave a stellar performance in Tuesday's game alongside MLB stars like Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, throwing a scoreless first inning.

Before Skenes pitched, Dunne changed into a more casual look to enjoy the game.
The social media phenom looked cute in black denim shorts and a "Skenes" shirt and white boots. She posed for a photo in the stands with the baseball field behind her and wrote, "Go Paul!" in an Instagram Story.
The top pick in the 2024 draft, Skenes impressed baseball fans when he pitched a scoreless first inning against his opponents, even gaining attention from the MLB Hall of Fame.
"From No. 1 pick to #AllStarGame starter, it's been quite the year for @Paul_Skenes. His @Pirates cap from a scoreless first inning is headed to the Hall of Fame," the hall's official account wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
After the game, Skenes said it was "really cool" to be celebrated by his peers and MLB veterans. "The coolest part about it is they're so accepting and welcomed me with open arms into the clubhouse, and they're super supportive, watching my start," Skenes said, according to ESPN.
Dunne has been a regular supporter of her superstar beau, celebrating the news of his All-Star selection on July 7 with a cheese pizza, a bottle of champagne and a golden balloon display that spelled out “ALL STAR,” which she posted to her Instagram Stories.
On Sunday, the LSU gymnast shared that she and Skenes were “All-Star game bound” as the two took a private plane to Texas. The couple posed for a selfie on her Instagram Stories, showing off their matching travel outfits on the runway.

The pair first sparked dating rumors last summer when Dunne posted a video in her boyfriend’s LSU jersey at the College World Series, where the team would go on to clinch the tournament and Skenes was named College World Series Most Outstanding Player for his pitching.
Skenes confirmed his relationship to the collegiate gymnast in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette two months later.
In May, Dunne told PEOPLE that she "definitely" wanted to attend as many of her boyfriend’s games with the Pirates as possible, noting that Skenes has been an equally ardent fan of her gymnastics career.
When Dunne took home her first NCAA Gymnastics Championship title for LSU in April, she told PEOPLE that Skenes was the first person she called.
"I just wanted to fill him in on what just happened because I know he just won a national championship at LSU," Dunne said. "He understands all the feelings so I just wanted to call him and just tell him what it was like."
