The world may never know how Paul Skenes really feels when his girlfriend Olivia Dunne takes the floor. He prefers to keep things private when it comes to the couple’s budding relationship. Although, the Pirates pitcher did admit to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that their fame has affected their relationship due to the amount of attention the couple receives while out and about. “It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere. If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever,” he explained.
Still, Skenes has been adamant that Dunne has been instrumental in acclimating him to the world of Major League Baseball. “She’s helped me in a lot of ways in terms of managing all the hype I guess, if you will, and how to manage everything that goes around being a pro athlete because she’s kinda lived it,” he told the MLB Network (via the Daily Mail.) “So it’s been great.”
