Paul Skenes shows boyfriend goals with chivalrous red carpet move in viral moment

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes stole more than just headlines during the 2025 MLB All-Star Game red carpet—he melted hearts with a chivalrous act that instantly went viral.

The rising MLB star stopped mid-stride to kneel down and tie girlfriend Olivia "Livvy" Dunne’s shoe, delivering a real-life Prince Charming moment fans won’t forget.

Surrounded by flashing cameras and shouting fans, Skenes didn’t hesitate when Livvy’s high heel came undone. His thoughtful gesture was captured instantly, fueling the internet’s obsession with the beloved sports power couple. Dunne, a former LSU gymnast and social media sensation, beamed with pride as the two continued down the red carpet, later joking about Skenes' style glow-up during a live MLB Network interview.

"I think your style has progressively gotten better and drippier,” Dunne said playfully. Skenes laughed in response, “Well, the bar was pretty low before.”

Skenes has been in the MLB for just over a year but has already racked up accolades, including National League Rookie of the Year and a two-time All-Star nod. Dunne has been by his side through his meteoric rise, sharing with reporters, “He’s doing everything right. People see the results. I see the grind.”

The couple’s moment added a dose of romance to the MLB All-Star festivities, proving that Skenes’ star power extends far beyond the pitching mound. From throwing 102 mph fastballs to tying his girlfriend’s shoe on live TV, Paul Skenes is quickly becoming a fan favorite both on and off the field.
