Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and model Olivia Ponton were recently seen together in New York City, adding to ongoing speculation about their relationship status. The sighting followed previous reports linking the two.
The appearance comes several months after initial rumors surfaced connecting the National Football League star and Olivia Ponton.
Speculation about the pair grew in December 2024 when Ponton reportedly contacted police regarding a burglary at Burrow's Ohio home while he was away for a game.
Police reports from the time identified Ponton as an employee of the quarterback. However, reports later emerged suggesting a more personal connection between them.
An insider indicated to one outlet that Burrow and Ponton had been "hooking up" since the fall, describing the arrangement as casual, according to a report by People.
Sports reporter Dov Kleiman stated that Burrow and Ponton were reportedly officially dating, noting Ponton had been listed legally as an employee for about a year.
Details regarding the nature of Ponton's employment with Burrow remain unclear.
The New York sighting has fueled further discussion about their relationship. Neither Burrow nor Ponton has publicly confirmed they are dating.
Burrow previously dated Olivia Holzmacher, whom he met at Ohio State University. That long-term relationship reportedly ended in 2024. Reports noted the distinction between Olivia Holzmacher and Olivia Ponton amid the dating rumors.
