Paul Skenes Saved Livvy Dunne's Red Carpet Wardrobe Malfunction
Is Paul Skenes the boyfriend of the year? Fans definitely think so after he helped his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, fix a mini wardrobe malfunction as they walked the MLB's All-Star red carpet on July 15. Paul opted for a plum duochrome suit with a white button-up shirt and sunglasses, while the former Louisiana State University gymnast rocked a backless royal blue dress with white strappy heels. As is often the case with these shoes, one of the straps came undone. That's when Paul came to the rescue and gently laced her heel back up, per footage captured by the MLB. S'cute! Of course, fans of the couple couldn't contain their emotions at the sweet gesture. 'It wasn't just fashion, it was a power move. A winning pitch both on and off the field,' one person wrote, referring to Paul's position as the Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher. Another chimed in, writing, 'What a gentleman.' The athletes have been romantically linked since 2023. They first sparked dating rumors when Livvy wore Paul's jersey at the College World Series that June. They went public with their relationship two months later, and since then, Livvy has opened up about how their connection is still going strong. 'We don't restrict each other from doing things,' she told People in June. 'I've been in relationships in the past like that—where it's almost like you have a leash on you, you can't do anything.' She continued, 'But he has a job to do and I have a job to do—I know that's so important for two young kids in a relationship to realize. So, yeah, we just have a good time and it's a two-way road.' As for how they constantly support each other's jobs as pro athletes, Livvy is all about showing up for her man. 'I'm trying to go to as many baseball games as I can,' she shared. 'I really just enjoy watching him and he's always on the go. He's an athlete, so I get it. I get the grind.'

Dining across the divide: ‘He didn't believe women still face discrimination in the workplace'
Occupation Financial services Voting record Mixed over the years, moving right and recently Conservative. 'The more worldly-wise you get, and the more tax you pay, the more it pushes you along that axis' Amuse bouche Julian has twice been on a plane struck by lightning. The first time was scary: all the lights went out. The second time he was relaxed, and told the pilot on the way out, who, looking a bit pale, replied: 'That's the first for me' Occupation Geneticist Voting record Labour until Starmer, now Green. Describes herself as 'an old-fashioned socialist' Amuse bouche Livvy was going to study medicine, but discovered she had a phobia of blood when she passed out during a blood test. 'I would have been the worst doctor in the world' Livvy It was my first evening out after having my baby. Julian was genial and kind. I thought he might be from a posher background than me, but we later found out we had both grown up on council estates. It just shows you shouldn't judge before you know. Julian Livvy was really easy to talk to, obviously intelligent. We were both the first in our families to go to university, and both see education as key to social mobility. Livvy I had gnocchi with butternut squash. And a lemonade and lime – very outlandish! Julian I had sea bass, which was nicely done, and a couple of beers. We both had chocolate brownie for pudding. Livvy Julian didn't believe women still face discrimination in the workplace. Julian There are very senior women in the company I work at. They've attained high roles in the company on merit, and that's how it should be. It's not the same as it was in the 70s. Livvy Studies have shown that if you have a CV with a female name on it, and a CV with a male name on it, the male will get more interviews. Julian Maybe there is unconscious bias – that would be wrong and I wouldn't try to defend that in any way. The bit we honed in on was if women take some time to have family, then their careers are effectively stagnating. For me, positive discrimination is a red line, because it is still discrimination, and you might have discriminated against somebody who is better for the job. I just can't settle with that feeling fair. Livvy I know I'm less likely to get a job because I'm a woman, and of child-bearing age. I think I opened his mind about maternity leave a little: he didn't realise that when I go back they don't have to give me the same job. They can give me a different job that has the same level of importance and salary. Sign up to Inside Saturday The only way to get a look behind the scenes of the Saturday magazine.

I just believe they need to go further and carry on. We saw the same problems, but we just had very different ways of trying to tackle those problems. Julian It probably helped that we both have scientific backgrounds – I studied engineering – so we both applied a lot of logic rather than emotion. Livvy We disagreed on the European convention on human rights. I think it's a good thing. It provides guidance on the freedom to have your own views; it makes sure you can't torture someone; you have free elections and fair trials. And the right to have a family life. Julian We should leave. When people have been told all the way up the British courts that they can't have what they want and they're in the wrong, it's a kind of 'get out of jail free' card used as a means to avoid deportation or whatever. Livvy There's so much that brings people together, but we tend to put a magnifying glass on what we disagree on. Some of it is fundamental – if I'd sat down with someone who'd said, 'This race of people is terrible', I would have called a taxi. But there are some differences where you need to be able to see the other person's side of the story. They're not evil, or wrong – this is just what they've taken from their life experience. Julian More people need to do this. It was a really pleasurable evening – it's good to have someone rattle your ideas a little bit, about things you thought you were convinced of, to hear a well-argued alternative point of view that is just as valid as your own but different.
