Olivia Dunne had a humorous response after boyfriend Paul Skenes became the face of a new promotional campaign for convenience store chain Sheetz. The Pittsburgh Pirates star recently partnered with Sheetz to promote the retailer's new specialty hot dog, known as the "Big Glizzy." As part of the campaign, Skenes appeared in a series of promotional videos and social media posts introducing the product and sharing its fictional origin story.
Dunne's Playful Oscar Remark
After Skenes shared the advertisement online, Dunne quickly joined fans in reacting to the commercial. Posting on social media, the former LSU gymnast jokingly praised his acting performance, writing, "Just give him the Oscar." Her reaction added another lighthearted moment to the couple's highly followed relationship. Dunne also showed support in the comments section of the campaign's Instagram posts. When Skenes announced he was taking over the Sheetz social media feed to promote the product, Dunne responded with a playful message that drew attention from fans.
Growing Endorsement Portfolio
The campaign marks another endorsement deal for Skenes, whose profile has grown significantly since making his Major League Baseball debut. The All-Star pitcher has quickly established himself as one of the league's most recognisable young stars, attracting partnerships with major brands as his popularity continues to rise.
Future with the Pirates
Meanwhile, Skenes' long-term future with the Pirates remains a major topic among fans. During a recent question-and-answer session at PNC Park, Pirates general manager Ben Cherington described Skenes as a cornerstone of the franchise. Cherington noted that the organisation's commitment to building a winning team around the young ace could play a key role in his future with the club.
As Skenes continues to excel on the mound and expand his profile off the field, his latest campaign has already earned enthusiastic support from one of his biggest fans, Olivia Dunne.
