Livvy Dunne didn’t just react — she roared with laughter at Paul Skenes’ new clean-shaven look, calling him “baby face cutieeee” in a TikTok that perfectly captures their playful, low-key romance.
On Jan. 1, Livvy Dunne, the 23-year-old former LSU gymnast turned social media sensation, posted a TikTok video overlaid with the viral audio “Oh my gosh! She’s bald!” — a cheeky reference to her boyfriend Paul Skenes’ newly shaved face. The caption read simply: “pov: seeing ur bf without facial hair for the first time.” Her reaction? Pure, unfiltered joy. “baby face cutieeee,” she wrote, capturing the moment with trademark humor and affection.
The change wasn’t just cosmetic — it was symbolic. Skenes, also 23, traded his signature mustache — a symbol of his identity since becoming an MLB star — for a clean-shaven look ahead of the 2026 season. For Dunne, the shift was more than a style update; it was a personal milestone. “It’s a two-way road,” she told PEOPLE exclusively, emphasizing how their relationship thrives on mutual freedom. “We don’t restrict each other from doing things. I’ve been in relationships before where you’re almost like you have a leash — you can’t do anything. But we both have jobs to do. We just have a good time.”
It’s not just about laughs or looks — it’s about legacy. This year marked a quiet triumph for both. Dunne graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, made her runway debut, and launched into her next chapter as a model and content creator. Meanwhile, Skenes captured the National League Cy Young Award — the pinnacle of pitching excellence — after dominating the 2025 season with stellar stats and clutch performances. When he won, Dunne erupted online: “’OH MY GOODNESSSSS!!!!’” — a moment that encapsulated their shared excitement and emotional support.
In April 2025, Dunne reflected on transitioning out of gymnastics and into this new phase: “I’m super excited to be able to spend time with Paul,” she said. “I’ve always had to train during my summers… So to be able to not have to do gymnastics training and be able to spend more time in Pittsburgh with Paul enjoying the baseball season, I’m looking forward to that.” Her words reveal a deliberate balance — one that respects her professional ambitions while prioritizing personal connection.
Despite their public achievements — Dunne’s modeling gigs, Skenes’ MVP-level pitching — they remain grounded. Their relationship operates on principles of autonomy and mutual admiration. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and I’m excited to lean into this new lifestyle and be there for Paul,” Dunne said candidly, hinting at the future beyond the spotlight.
For fans, this moment isn’t just about a new haircut — it’s about the couple’s authenticity. In a world obsessed with perfection and constant performance, Livvy and Paul offer something rarer: genuine, joyful partnership. They don’t need headlines to validate their bond. They simply exist — laughing, loving, and living their lives with purpose.
