Paul Skenes’ girlfriend Olivia Dunne’s sister captures breathtaking Long Island sunset glow after 4-word comment on US Open thrills

Two-time All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes is having a solid season for the Pittsburgh Pirates, while his girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, is making the most of her time since her retirement from gymnastics.

Dunne retired from gymnastics after completing five collegiate years with the LSU Tigers in July. Since her major career decision, Dunne has been spending time with friends and family this summer.

The former LSU gymnast had been enjoying tennis at the U.S. Open in New York this week. She was in attendance for the second-round games on Wednesday.

Olivia's sister, Julz Dunne, shared a clip of the duo enjoying the action and grooving to some music in her Instagram story.

"Caught us in 4K," Julz Dunne captioned her story.

In a subsequent story, Julz shared a glimpse of a breathtaking sunset from Long Island. She also posted a picture of a lighthouse in Montauk, New York, in her story.

Olivia Dunne has been making the most of her free time this summer, travelling to several destinations, amid her constant presence in the stands at PNC Park to support Paul Skenes' starts.

However, Dunne missed Skenes' latest start against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday, as she was in New York to watch the first-round games of the U.S. Open.

Although she was watching the likes of World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in action on the court, Dunne kept tabs on the Pirates ace as she streamed the game on her phone. She shared a picture in her Instagram story to capture the moment.

"Gotta keep my priorities straight," Dunne captioned her story watching Skenes' starts.

Olivia Dunne also dropped a four-word message for five-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz the following day after watching his serve.

"Now that's a serve," Dunne captioned the picture of Alcaraz serving.

With the tennis tournament heading into the next slate of games, Olivia Dunne and her sister's presence could be expected at the venue.
