Livvy Dunne has been enjoying a relaxing vacation in Miami while boyfriend Paul Skenes locks horns with the Marlins on MLB’s opening weekend.

Skenes, whose second season with the Pittsburgh Pirates is officially underway, was joined by Dunne in the Florida city this week ahead of his first outing of the 2025 campaign on Thursday.

And while he’s been taking on the Marlins over the past four days, the star pitcher’s girlfriend has instead kicked back and relaxed in the Miami sun.

Dunne, who recently took part in a racy photoshoot for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, shared a photo of herself catching some rays in a stunning Dalmatian-print bikini on Saturday, along with the caption: ‘Miami was *fire*’.

Once Skenes had wrapped up his MLB duties for the day, the loved-up couple also headed out on a romantic boat trip with breathtaking views of the Miami skyline.

Earlier in the week Dunne, a star LSU gymnast and TikTok sensation, was joined by close friend and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl, and American Olympic hero Aly Raisman, to watch Skenes on MLB’s Opening Day.

She took time away from her postseason preparations for LSU gymnastics to cheer on her man, who gave up two runs over five and 1/3 innings in a 5-4 defeat for the Pirates.

Pittsburgh won the second game of the series 4-3 on Friday, before suffering another 5-4 loss on Saturday. The two teams are set to meet for a fourth time on Sunday afternoon.

Dunne and Skenes have been dating since the summer of 2023 when both were student-athletes at LSU.

The pair struck up a romance while in Baton Rouge, before Paul left to make the move up into the major leagues.

The Pirates star, also 22, had a stellar rookie year as he was named an All-Star and quickly established himself as one of the best pitchers in the sport. 

Dunne, meanwhile, claimed a national title with LSU’s gymnastics team last year while also becoming the highest-paid female athlete in college sports.
