Olivia ‘Livvy’ Dunne rang in 23 with bubbly in hand and MLB ace Paul Skenes by her side.
The LSU gymnast, turned Sports Illustrated bombshell, kicked off the celebrations on Thursday, October 1 with a martini in hand, giving fans her signature wink and pout while raising a glass. Dressed in a shimmering gold corset top and mini skirt, paired with sleek black stilettos, Dunne looked every inch the golden girl on her special day.
The caption on her Instagram carousel said it all: “A tini bit older,” a cheeky nod to her birthday martini adorned with rainbow sprinkles and a candle. Who needs a cake when you can toast with cocktails?

But the real showstopper came when Dunne swapped city nightlife for Hollywood glam. In one photo, Dunne can be seen sitting cross-legged atop a kitchen counter in her metallic party fit, posing with her chic martini-candle combo.

Of course, no Dunne milestone would be complete without Skenes, who’s fresh off a history-making season with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The couple hit the MLB All-Star red carpet together earlier this summer, where Dunne stunned in a navy blue gown as the towering pitcher proudly kept her close. Their loved-up appearance only fueled the fan frenzy over sports’ newest golden couple.

The timing of Dunne’s birthday couldn’t have been better. The party happened just days after Skenes closed out his dominant 2025 campaign, where he not only secured ace status but cemented himself as one of baseball’s brightest young arms.
While he’s been racking up strikeouts, Dunne has been just as busy scoring brand deals, magazine shoots and a following that hangs on her every post.

From red carpets to candlelit martinis, Dunne and Skenes are proving they’re not just the power couple of sports, they’re the headline-makers everyone’s watching. And if her 23rd birthday is any indication, Dunne isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
After all, she’s got the gold dress, the dream guy, and the spotlight — and she knows exactly how to work it.
