It was just the latest in a public string of genuine, no-drama support for her boyfriend, one that's becoming a narrative unto itself. With every Instagram story, FaceTime session, or even high-end baseball card buy, Dunne is showing that athlete romances can be real and meaningful, yet not necessarily flashy. Olivia Dunne cheers for Paul Skenes with heartfelt message after Phillies win Olivia Dunne posted a screenshot of a video call with Paul Skenes, grinning from ear to ear. Her caption? "ALL SMILES CAUSE HE'S A PAUL-STAR ALL-STAR." That followed Skenes' second straight All-Star selection, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in Atlanta on July 15. Olivia Dunne's response was brief, concise, and laced with love. She followed that up with, "NEXT STOP ATLANTA," maybe indicating she'll be in the stands, cheering him on again. This would not be a shock. Dunne has been a regular attendee at Skenes' games. She was present during the Pirates-Mets series at Citi Field in May and again in June during the Pirates-Phillies showdown.

More than an item to collect, the purchase of the card was a sign of something more. Dunne wasn't purchasing the card for PR. She purchased it because it mattered to her just as Skenes does.
