Dunne, who has built a national following through her gymnastics career and online presence, spent part of the offseason overseas and was photographed in Italy.

She also made headlines for addressing paparazzi images taken during a trip to Hawaii. Alongside these appearances, she supported her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, as he collected the Cy Young Award in November.

Dunne has previously earned a National Championship and celebrated Skenes’ Rookie of the Year Award.

Maxim confirmed that Dunne is its Winter 2025 cover model, introducing another national platform for the gymnast as she continues building her brand.

In an interview with the publication, she described her comfort with high-profile environments.

“I love the red carpet. I love the glitz and glam of it. There’s no denying that,” Dunne said. “You don’t really think a Taylor Swift that’s in the spotlight doesn’t actually enjoy it? She does.”

Dunne’s rising visibility has also drawn attention within Major League Baseball circles as Skenes enters the upcoming season as one of the Pirates’ most anticipated young players.

The pairing has generated significant fan interest, with Dunne frequently appearing at games throughout 2024.

The Pirates concluded Skenes’ rookie year with heightened expectations for the franchise, and his presence has prompted ongoing discussions about the team’s long-term strategy and roster development.

While Dunne’s off-field profile remains separate from baseball operations, her appearances at games and growing public visibility have contributed to increased attention on the organization.

Dunne continues to maintain her gymnastics commitments while expanding her media and promotional opportunities.

With the Maxim cover release and other public appearances scheduled into 2025, she is expected to remain a central figure in both sports and entertainment coverage heading into the new year.
