Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is making headlines not just for his return from injury but also for his rumored romantic involvement with model Olivia Ponton. Burrow, who is set to play against the Baltimore Ravens on November 27, 2024, has sparked curiosity about his dating life as fans eagerly anticipate his performance on the field.
Speculation about Burrow and Ponton began in December when she reported a burglary at his Ohio home. The incident occurred while Burrow was away for a Monday Night Football game. On December 9, 2024, Ponton arrived at Burrow’s residence to find a shattered bedroom window and the property ransacked. This unusual situation drew attention to their connection, leading many to wonder if the two were more than just acquaintances.
In the aftermath of the burglary, Burrow expressed his concern over the invasion of privacy. Sources close to the situation revealed to People magazine that the pair have been casually dating since early fall. “They have been hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual,” an insider stated. Despite being spotted together in public, both Burrow and Ponton have not officially confirmed their relationship status.
As of May 2025, the two continued to be seen together, sparking further interest among fans and media. Prior to his rumored involvement with Ponton, Burrow was linked to his longtime girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher, with whom he was thought to be engaged in 2023.
With Burrow back on the field and potentially navigating a new relationship, fans will undoubtedly be watching both his athletic performance and personal life closely. The upcoming game against the Ravens promises to be a significant moment for the quarterback, as he aims to showcase his skills while the spotlight also shines on his evolving personal narrative.
