Olivia Dunne's boyfriend Paul Skenes to make MLB debut this WEEK: Pirates prospect called up to pitch vs. Cubs

She also used the perfect sound for the occasion, opting for the recent meme which says, 'Let's [expletive] go … I guess?' 

The gymnast also wrote, 'POV: you both wake up from a nap and find out he’s in the MLB,' across the top of the video. 

'Here we go! @paulskenes @MLB,' Dunne also wrote on Instagram alongside the Pirates announcement video. 

The couple, who met at LSU, first went public with their romance in August after gymnastics sensation Dunne was spotted attending Skenes' games for minor-league team the Bradenton Marauders, and they have gone from strength to strength since. 

The right-hander burst into the national consciousness last year, while at Louisiana State University, where he was named D1 National Player of the Year and won the College World Series.

The 6ft 6ins pitcher has been under the microscope since long before his call-up to the major leagues, thanks to his performances on the mound - and his relationship with Dunne.

Skenes turned heads with his performances in the minors, where he added new weapons to his arsenal en route to recording a 0.99 ERA and 45 strikeouts over 27 1/3 innings with Triple-A Indianapolis.

He recently allowed his first ever home run in a pro baseball game while pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates' Triple-A affiliate. 

Skenes, 21, gave up a solo home run to Buffalo outfielder Will Robertson - a Toronto Blue Jays prospect - in the fifth inning of an 8-3 win for the Indianapolis Indians on Sunday against the Bisons. 

Skenes has been branded by some as the top pitching prospect since Stephen Strasburg. Dunne, meanwhile, helped LSU win a national championship in her senior year.
