In Pictures: Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton turn heads again as rumored romance heats up

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and model Olivia Ponton are making waves yet again, fueling speculation about their blossoming relationship after a series of high-profile public appearances. The rumored couple, who have kept their relationship lowkey in recent months, were seen out and about in New York City over the weekend—sending the rumor mill into overdrive.

From Private to Public: Joe Burrow & Olivia Ponton's NYC sighting sparks buzz

Sources close to the duo told TMZ Sports that Burrow and Ponton were “attached at the hip” throughout Friday night. The two reportedly hit several popular celebrity haunts across Manhattan, ultimately wrapping up their evening near an apartment complex around 3 AM.

While neither Burrow nor Ponton has officially confirmed the relationship, their chemistry was undeniable. Joe Burrow kept things casual with a short-sleeved, oversized hoodie paired with baggy jeans—an ensemble that seemed to draw inspiration from Bill Belichick’s famously relaxed fashion sense. Olivia Ponton, on the other hand, brought her A-game, turning heads in a chic black skirt, white flowy blouse, and heels.

Fanatics fest & flirting attention

Burrow’s NYC trip coincided with the Fanatics Fest, where the NFL superstar received plenty of attention—not just for his football prowess, but also for his off-the-field charisma. He was showered with compliments about his sex appeal, and handled the spotlight with his usual cool demeanor.

This isn’t the first time the two have caused a stir. Back in December, Ponton unexpectedly found herself in headlines after calling the police to report a burglary at Burrow’s Ohio home. The twist? She identified herself as one of his “employees”—a vague label that raised eyebrows and hinted at a deeper connection.

A timeline of subtle clues

Since then, Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton haven’t exactly gone out of their way to stay hidden. Earlier this year, they were spotted in the same social circle during the Miami Grand Prix festivities, subtly suggesting that their relationship was becoming more open.

Still, fans remain curious about the true status of their romance. Whether or not they're ready to confirm it, Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton seem increasingly comfortable being seen together—and the spotlight seems to love them for it.
