Pittsburgh Pirates sensation Paul Skenes celebrated with girlfriend Livvy Dunne after capturing his first National League Cy Young Award on Wednesday night.
After just two years in Major League Baseball, Skenes, who has dated TikTok star and former gymnast Dunne since 2023, has become the first pitcher to win Rookie of the Year in one season and then a Cy Young Award the next since Dwight Gooden did it with the New York Mets 40 years ago.
The 23-year-old was selected by Pittsburgh with the first overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, before putting up a superb ERA of 1.96 after 23 starts in his rookie season the following year.
In the previous campaign he recorded a 1.97 ERA after becoming the team's starting pitcher, making him the MLB's first starter to earn a sub-2.00 ERA since 2022, as well as 216 strikeouts in 187.2 innings.
He is yet to make it into the postseason with the Pirates, however, after they finished bottom of the National League Central two seasons on the bounce with a miserable overall record of 147-177.
Skenes was surrounded by Dunne and his friends and family for the Cy Young announcement, with the group seen celebrating at someone's home Tuesday night.
