The Louisiana State University gymnast, 21, and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, 22, kicked off the summer together by floating down the Allegheny River in downtown Pittsburgh.
Dunne documented the duo’s boating day with an Instagram post on Monday, June 24, starting with a shot of the sweet couple.
In the photo, the gymnastics champion cuddles up to her MLB star boyfriend on a pontoon boat as they both smile and look into each other’s eyes.

The former USA national team member also showed off her boating attire — a green bikini and sunglasses — in a solo shot before rounding out the post with another couple pic.
The final picture shows the pair relaxing on the pontoon, both laying across its corner seats with their heads meeting in the middle.
And, if the photos weren’t enough to confirm the couple’s affections, Dunne captioned the photo, “Hooked.”

Skenes and Dunne first sparked rumors of a romance when Dunne was seen wearing his jersey at the College World Series in June 2023, and they later revealed that they met through mutual friends while Skenes was attending LSU.
In August, the then-MLB prospect — who signed a historic contract with the Pirates — confirmed their relationship during an interview with thePittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The baseball pro revealed to the outlet that the now-couple met when his roommate and best friend at LSU was dating Dunne's roommate, dubbing their meet-cute a "a small-world type of thing."

“If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there's probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever,” he added.
