Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes have become a defining couple for Gen Z sports fans. Apart from their elite relationship, where both are from high-profile sports careers, they are quite relatable to their audiences because of unhinged conversations or Dunne making a hilarious TikTok video on Skenes’ new look, set to the viral audio “Oh my gosh. She’s bald.” And recently, this humor was on full display again!

As seen on Dunne’s Instagram story, she was attending the annual Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) Awards Dinner, where she uploaded a picture of Skenes sitting with Yankees’ Aaron Judge and Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal. But the hilarious thing about it is what she wrote: “Acting like they know ball or sum.”

The joke was quite clear, as it was about her playfully questioning the planet’s most accomplished baseball players’ expertise. Indeed, Skenes was present to collect his Cy Young Award, which is given annually to MLB’s best pitcher. Dunne’s boyfriend shared the spotlight with Judge, who was there to collect his third MVP, and Skubal, who took his back-to-back AL Cy Young honor.

“It means a lot to me. Everything he accomplishes is so well-deserved because I see what he does everyday and it’s a lot of stuff. I mean, he acts like he enjoys doing it every day, but I mean you just can’t enjoy it every single day.” she said. “He does so much. It’s doing it when you don’t want to do it and I see it, and it’s incredible that somebody at his age has accomplished what he has. It’s cool that I get to be by his side while he does it.”

At just 23 years old, Skenes became the fifth youngest Cy Young winner ever, and Dunne’s remark proved how proud she was of her boyfriend. However, one of their recent interviews showcased an awkward side of them, which was also hilarious to the couple.

With pure affection and a bit of cheekiness, he said, “I love you. That’s what you thought.” Well, then came the personal questions.

Skenes was made to guess Dunne’s first job, to which he replied with “influencer” or “gymnast,” and then he also asked with humor: “Have you had a real job?” Dunne replied, saying, “No. I was a coach. I coached. I quit after two weeks. It wasn’t my path. It wasn’t my calling. No points for you.”

Then it was time for the former gymnast to take a question. She was tasked with answering Skenes’ idol, and she thought of Mike Trout, but then the MLB pitcher replied, “I’ll give that a point because I don’t think she knows that I don’t have a hero. I really don’t. I’ve enjoyed watching players and all that, but I do not have a hero.”
