PITTSBURGH, PA - In a stunning postgame twist that’s got both MLB fans and celebrity gossip circles in a frenzy, social media sensation Livvy Dunne is rumored to be eyeing a switch—not to another school, but to another player. Following Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes’ disastrous outing in an 8-3 home loss to the Cubs, Dunne was reportedly seen exchanging phone numbers with Chicago outfielder Kyle Tucker—who promptly took Skenes deep in the fifth inning.
Tucker’s homer was one of three surrendered by Skenes in a nightmare frame that had Pirates fans booing and Dunne allegedly browsing the Cubs' roster. The most scandalous wrinkle? Tucker is believed to be married.
“Bang bang, Stros gang,” Tucker reportedly said after the game, a cryptic callback to his days with Houston—and maybe a not-so-subtle flex.
Skenes, asked about the rumors, didn’t bite. “I should have pitched better,” he said, staring into the void like a man who just watched his ERA and girlfriend leave the stadium in the same Uber.

Fans quickly unearthed several flirty Instagram exchanges between Dunne and Tucker from earlier this year, including a heart emoji on a Tucker highlight and a suspicious “LOL ur silly” reply from Dunne that now reads like emotional cheating in hindsight.
If Dunne makes the jump to the Cubs, it could spell a disastrous PR shift for Pittsburgh. Not only would they lose the nation’s top NIL sweetheart, but they'd also hand their division rivals a morale-boosting W in the court of public opinion. The Cubs are already looking like playoff threats—and adding Dunne to the front-row at Wrigley might just seal their October destiny.
As for when Dunne and Tucker might make it “Instagram official,” sources close to the situation suggest a soft launch via Story tags could come by Mother’s Day weekend—unless someone calls timeout first.
FAX Sports reached out to Livvy Dunne, Kyle Tucker, and Paul Skenes for comment. Only Tucker responded—by liking a comment that said, “she upgraded.”
