Olivia Dunne replaces Paul Skenes with the affectionate Roux in her Christmas pose in front of the tree

Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes are enjoying the holidays, celebrating with friends and family and perhaps most importantly, her pet dog Roux.

Dunne adopted the dog back in October, and the pup has proven so popular that she also has her own on Instagram. While Roux's 17,000 followers don't compare with Dunne's 5.4 million, the duo are a popular pairing.

On Wednesday Dunne shared some memorable Christmas moments with Roux with her fans. One of the posts shows Dunne sitting beside a decorated Christmas tree alongside Roux.

Dunne keeping busy with Roux

The Christmas post comes a day after Dunne posted snaps of her enjoying some beach time with Roux at Belmar Beach in New Jersey.

She shared a clip of the outing with the caption: "Polar Plunge" along with a checkmark.

The video shows Dunne taking a dip in the freezing waters, and when she runs back out on to the beach, she is greeted by an excited Roux.

Dunne is likely enjoying her holidays after graduating from LSU last week. She helped the Tigers to an NCAA title in 2024, and she is hoping to add another in her fifth and final season.

As for boyfriend Paul Skenes, he completed his degree in 2023. He enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign with the Pittsburgh Pirates last year, finishing with an 11-3 record, 1.96 ERA, 170 strikeouts and a 0.95 WHIP.
