Livvy Dunne trolls Paul Skenes over unenthusiastic TikTok during trip to MLB All-Star Game
MLB star and rookie Paul Skenes is crazy about baseball, but when it comes to participating in his girlfriend Olivia “Livvy” Dunne’s TikTok videos, he seems less enthusiastic.
But you don’t have to worry, because Dunne gave friends and fans the perfect explanation for her pitcher boyfriend’s lack of social media skills.
On Monday, baseball’s most famous couple filmed a TikTok video from a private jet as they headed to the MLB All-Star game in Arlington, Texas. However, it appears Skenes barely made an effort to follow Dunne in the audio accompanying the post.
The pair’s contrasting vibes prompted one person to playfully remark, “That’s probably the most effort he could have put in. Well done Paul.”
Dunne replied, “He doesn’t know how to tap the tok.”

While Skenes is generally off the radar, he has recently appeared in several TikTok posts for Dunne, the platform on which the model has 8 million followers. One post shows the Pirates star being surprised with balloons and pizza in his apartment after being selected to the MLB All-Star Game for the first time.
Dunne also featured her boyfriend in a May post captioned, “POV: You both wake up from a nap to find out he’s in the MLB.”
The LSU gymnast was in the stands for the MLB All-Star festivities, where she graced the red carpet before the game alongside a dashing Skenes. She was even spotted cheering him on during his one-inning cameo on the mound.

The Fullerton, California, native threw seven balls at 98.2 mph or faster during his first All-Star Game appearance, five of which were 99.6 mph or faster.
Before the All-Star Game, Dunne expressed her amazement at how hard Skenes can throw.
“My brain can’t even process how hard he’s throwing,” she said on the red carpet. “It’s incredible and it’s such a joy to watch.
“He’s a great baseball player, but an even better person.”
