A Special Celebration for Teammates
The couple’s journey to Hawaii was more than just a vacation; it was a chance to support their close friend, Jared Jones, who has shared a significant part of his life with the Pirates organization. Jones and Fox, who began dating in high school, got engaged during the festive holiday season of 2023. Their love story has blossomed since Jones was drafted by the Pirates in 2020.

Embracing Offseason Adventures
Since the Pirates’ season concluded on September 27, Skenes and Dunne have embraced their time off, making the most of their offseason. The couple recently celebrated Dunne’s 23rd birthday in New York City, where they explored iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty. They also embarked on a new adventure together, assisting Dunne with her recent home purchase in Jupiter, Florida. Skenes not only helped her move in but also added a touch of humor to their kitchen with a quirky piece of art.
The couple’s shared experiences extend to their alma mater, LSU, where they cheered on the No. 10 football team as they triumphed over South Carolina 20-10 at Tiger Stadium on October 11. Their visit also included a memorable encounter with popular podcaster and comedian Theo Von.
Skenes and Dunne’s adventures didn’t stop there; they took a picturesque vacation to Taormina, Italy, a charming hilltop town on Sicily’s east coast. They also celebrated Halloween in style, with Skenes donning a Borat costume while Dunne channeled Pamela Anderson.
A Flourishing Relationship
The bond between Skenes and Dunne traces back to their days at LSU, where their paths first crossed, igniting a relationship that has since flourished amidst their rising stardom. Skenes, who transferred from the Air Force, made waves in 2023 by leading LSU to a National Championship with an impressive 13-2 record, a 1.69 ERA over 122.2 innings, and 209 strikeouts against just 20 walks.
Selected first overall by the Pirates, Skenes signed a record-breaking contract worth $9.2 million. His remarkable debut season culminated in winning the NL Rookie of the Year Award for 2024, further solidifying his status in Major League Baseball.
As Skenes and Dunne continue to navigate their burgeoning careers, their commitment to each other and their friends remains evident. The wedding in Hawaii was not only a celebration of love but also a testament to the enduring friendships forged within the world of sports.
