Dunne and Skenes officially confirmed their relationship in a post on the baseball pitcher's page.
"Back in the boot!" exclaimed the athlete, who secured the No. 1 draft pick position by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2023 MLB Draft. The caption accompanied a photo of himself and Dunne, with her hand resting on his chest.
The gymnast commented, "My [heart]."
While Dunne has mostly kept quiet about their romance, Skenes spoke to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in August about managing love in the public spotlight.
"It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere," he said. "If one of us went out in Baton Rouge by ourselves, there's probably gonna be someone there asking for something -- picture, autograph, whatever."
The baseball star continued, "It's nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don't have any control over it. She really doesn't either. I'm sure it'll get better as I go up levels, but that's something I want for her."
