The Cincinnati Bengals might not be having a good season, but that doesn’t mean quarterback Joe Burrow isn’t still playing the field. According to an inside source who spoke exclusively to People Magazine, Joe has allegedly begun a new fall fling with a Sports Illustrated model (it is a cannon event for a professional athlete, I cannot interfere). If you’re new to being a Burrower, let me get you up to speed. Joe Burrow had been publicly dating Olivia Holzmacher, his college girlfriend, since 2017 when they were both attending Ohio State.

Joe and O were suggested to have gotten engaged in 2017 by a sports commentator, a rumor which fans felt was validated by Olivia sporting a large ring on her ring finger following the leaked tea. But, Olivia Holzmacher and Joe’s relaysh status was put into question in 2024, when fans noticed she had not posted or spoken about him publicly for some time. Now a scary home invasion has revealed that Joey B. might have a new lady in his life… and her name is also Olivia??? Here are the deets on Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton’s relationship.

Who Is Joe Burrow Dating?

Are Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton dating?

Yes, according to an anonymous source who alleged the NFL QB has been “hooking up” with Olivia P. (not H) since “early fall.”

How long have Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton been together?

Joe and Olivia Ponton were first linked after Joe’s Ohio home was burgled on December 9. Olivia was the one who called the police to inform them of the break-in through the bedroom window at Joe’s house, which Joe has called a violation of privacy “in more ways the one” now that “way more is already out there than [he] would want.” Ummm, can everyone leave this sweet blonde angel alone?!

This comment was presumably Joe’s way of referring to how the robbery has exposed his potential new relationship. The fact that Olivia’s name was on the police report and police audio of Olivia on the scene caught her calling the place “my house” has convinced nosey nellies she and Joe are an item. She may have tried to throw off the scene by listing herself as one of “Mr. Burrow’s” employees, but fans have managed to connect the dots that Joe is likely not her boss (at least not in an HR-approved type of way).

Who is Olivia Ponton?

Olivia Ponton influencer

Olivia Ponton is a Florida-born 22-year-old influencer who appeared in Sports Illustrated in 2022. This makes her six years Joe’s junior (you’re welcome for doing the math). She signed to Wilhelmina Models (ANTM girlies, you know the one) in 2020, but started posting on TikTok when the pandemic hit which accelerated her career (and this is the app the government wants to ban?!). Olivia currently has over 10 million followers between IG and TikTok.
