Paul Skenes talks about navigating challenges as a high-profile couple
In a discussion with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Paul Skenes conveyed the challenges of being in a relationship with a social media sensation and the impact it has on their personal lives.
The continuous public attention, demands for photos and autographs, and scrutiny on social media can be overwhelming.
Paul Skenes also revealed his personal choice to stay away from social media during the baseball season, highlighting the toxicity that can come with it.
Skenes said, "If one of us went out in Baton Rouge by ourselves, there's probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever. It's nice to be able to have that conversation,"
"She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don't have any control over it. She really doesn't either. I'm sure it'll get better as I go up levels, but that's something I want for her." he added.
Skenes also disclosed, "I wasn't on it (social media) during the season because it's toxic. When you see something positive about you or something negative, it doesn't matter," Skenes said. "There's no substance to it. It can't help."
"It's worse for her. I've told her, 'People are gonna write about you. People are gonna write about me. If it rattles you, if it makes you upset, you gotta find a way to either not see it or not get upset over it.' In my mind, it's a lot easier to not see it than not get upset over it," he concluded.
