Just over two months ago, Olivia Dunne posted a TikTok which exhibited a humorous airport moment between her longtime boyfriend, Paul Skenes, and a fellow traveler.

“Us after watching a grown man genuinely freak out thinking he’s Josh Allen,” Dunne wrote on the screen of the brief reel, which flipped through four images of her and Skenes at one of the gates. While the fellow professional athlete can certainly throw, you won’t find Skenes on a football field. The 23-year-old is a two-time MLB All-Star and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher. However, the couple humorously shook off the mishap, as Dunne, a former collegiate gymnast penned as the post’s caption, “Go Bills!”

The Oct. 31 post ultimately garnered the attention of the NFL franchise, who rushed to its comment section: “(and GO BILLS)” the AFC East team penned. Dunne, in response, posted a question, “Can we come to a game 🙏,” which the Bills answered, “my dream date... cute (but seriously pick a game).”

To start off the new year, Skenes met up with his alleged doppelgänger in Buffalo where the duo participated in a jersey swap before the NFL team’s Week 18 matchup on Jan. 4. Smiling next to one another, the duo posed for a snap, which Dunne shared to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday. She captioned the frame, “This is my Super Bowl.” The pair was joined by Skenes’s Pirates teammate, Jared Jones, who participated in his own jersey swap with running back James Cook.

Plus, the squad stayed in town for the final Bills game of the regular season. The team hosted the New York Jets on Sunday, and finished the matchup at Highmark Stadium with a commanding 35-8 victory.

To stay warm in attendance, Dunne sported a cherry red sweatshirt with the Bills logo front and center, and continued to rep the squad with a neutral, two-toned hat that displayed the team’s name. The content creator completed her look with a pair of light wash jeans, brown boots and shiny black puffer jacket.

In contrast Dunne’s pop of color, Skenes opted for an entirely neutral ensemble. The former NCAA athlete, who competed at LSU, like his partner, styled a button-up plaid trench coat with a beige shirt and matching scarf. He twinned with Dunne with his own pair of denim jeans, brown boots and a tan hat which read, “SHOUT,” a nod to the Bills fight song.
