Olivia “Livvy” Dunne has a bit of a potty mouth when she's watching boyfriend Paul Skenes play — and she's not shying away from it.

As the gymnast-turned-actress, 23, watched the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, also 23, take on the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, May 23, she was caught dropping a very heated “f---” as he gave up a hit early in the game.

After the Blue Jays' George Springer secured a home run off of Skenes' third pitch in the game, footage of Dunne shared by Sportsnet shows her profanity-laden reaction.

“F---,” the Baywatch star said before repeating the word once more while leaning back in her seat at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. She could then be seen looking down at her phone, wearing a stern expression as Springer and the Jays celebrated.

Dunne later poked fun at her outburst in an Instagram post on Sunday, May 24, recapping her time at Saturday's game, a 5-2 loss for Skenes' Pirates.

“Occasionally profane,” she wrote alongside snaps, mostly of her posing at the Jays-Pirates game. The photo dump ended with a screengrab of the moment she dropped the F-bomb on the game's broadcast.

The former gymnast — who has been an ardent supporter of Skenes' athletic career, as he was to hers — also nodded to the moment in a separate Instagram Story. “Yk im locked in,” Dunne wrote alongside the snapshot, and added a lock emoji.

Earlier this month, Dunne opened up about her rituals for watching Skenes play while appearing on The Tonight Show.

In the May 13 episode, she revealed to host Jimmy Fallon that she can get pretty superstitious while watching Skenes on the mound. “I usually wear an Oura Ring, and it tells me I'm going to explore and die every time I watch him,” Dunne joked while responding to a question from Fallon about whether she gets nervous at his games.

“I'm a little superstitious," she continued, “so I have to scream before every single pitch at the top of my lungs, ‘Let's go, Paul!' ”

Fallon then joked, “So if you go to a game, you don't want to sit in front of you,” as Dunne fired back with a laugh, “I mean, unless you want to cheer with me.”

The former gymnast and MLB player first crossed paths as students at Louisiana State University and confirmed their relationship in August 2023 — just one month after Skenes was drafted by the Pirates first-overall. They always try to show up for each other, Dunne told PEOPLE in February.

"I just think being super present with one another while you're together, while you have that time together, is super important,” Dunne said of the couple, who navigate busy schedules and a long-distance relationship. “I mean, he makes time to come to my events,” she added. “I make time to go watch him pitch. I try to make every start I can."

Recently, Dunne shared Skenes' reaction to her latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot for the magazine's 2026 issue.

"I texted him. I was like, 'Hey, the SI photos are out,'" she recalled to PEOPLE at the launch party for the latest issue on May 14. "And he's like, 'Where can I see them?'" she laughed, before adding, "As if he doesn't know."

"I was like, 'Just look at everything,' " Dunne continued. "He loved it. Yeah, he loved it. He always does."
