Paul Skeens Faces Doorframe Challenges in Europe

Paul Skeens and his girlfriend Olivia “Livi” Dunn had an eventful trip to Europe, encountering some unexpected challenges along the way.

On Saturday, Dunn shared a TikTok video that documented Skeens’ struggles with doorframes during their travels. The video, captioned “POV: Your BF is 6’7″ in Europe,” features Skeens ducking to fit through various small doorways—one incident even resulted in a bump to his head on the ceiling.

Viewers reacted humorously, with one of Dunn’s followers commenting, “That last word hurt AF,” while another warned, “Watch out for the head king.”

Skeens, who is listed at 6 feet 6 inches in his MLB profile, just wrapped up his second season with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was drafted first overall in the 2023 draft and has recently garnered recognition as the current National League Rookie of the Year after finishing the 2024 season with a commendable 1.97 ERA. This achievement made him the first pitcher under 23 to record an ERA below 2.00 since Dwight Gooden’s 1.53 in 1985, according to MLB.

In a reflective moment, Skeens mentioned, “It’s cool. I’m not going into this year with any numerical goals or anything… It’s the result of doing what I had to do.” He acknowledged there might have been room for improvement in his stats, but he felt satisfied with the outcome.

At 23, Skeens is enjoying his offseason with Dunn, who he has been dating since 2023. Before heading to Europe, they celebrated her 23rd birthday in New York.

Throughout their trip, Dunn has shared insights into their European adventures and responded to critics, showcasing her athleticism in a recent video. “I’ve never seen my haters do headstands on paddleboards in the Mediterranean,” she quipped in her post, asserting her viewpoint firmly. The video gained over 300,000 views, reflecting her growing presence on social media.
