Paul Skenes Breaks His Silence on Livvy Dunne Photos
Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes took part in a photoshoot with his social media sensation girlfriend, Olivia "Livvy" Dunne, that went viral on social media this week. But it doesn't sound like he was necessarily excited about the photos going public.
Skenes and Dunne were featured in the cover story for GQ Magazine this month where they opened up about their relationship a little bit. As part of the feature, they also took part in a photoshoot where they posed for a variety of photos in several outfits, including their respective athletic uniforms.
During a recent interview in the Pirates' locker room, Skenes broke his silence as he commented on the photos for the first time since they were published. And it sounds like he's a little worried about what his teammates will say.
“It’s uh, I’m gonna get some flak in the locker room, I know that and I’m not looking forward to that,” Skenes said with a smile in a video shared by CBS Sports.

But it doesn't sound like he has any real regrets about doing the photoshoot.
“Yeah, I didn’t know what GQ was until the offer came so glad I did it, I think. How’d I look?”
While Dunne certainly values photography and content creation – she's an influencer and content creator, after all – Skenes admits that he doesn't love taking photos. He even admitted in the GQ interview that he doesn't even like taking photos with fans.
“She’s been dealing with all the notoriety and all that longer than I have,” Skenes told GQ. “I view it as, it’s not my job to take pictures with these people, it’s my job to throw, and them wanting to take pictures is getting in the way of that.”
“But she always handles everything very well—she’s very comfortable to be around for other people who come up and ask to talk, that kind of thing.”
“I mean, she never says no to a picture. I say no to them,” he continued.
