Joe Burrow, Olivia Ponton Relationship Rumor Resurfaces After Home Burglary
While Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is playing at an MVP level, the team has struggled to stack wins this season.
However, the Bengals nabbed their fifth victory of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football." During Cincinnati's 27-20 win in Week 14, Burrow was on fire, completing 75% of his passes for 369 yards and three touchdowns.
While the Bengals defeated the Cowboys in Dallas, however, police were called to Burrow's Anderson Township home after a 22-year-old woman reported a break-in, WLWT reported. After obtaining documents from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, TMZ revealed the woman's identity as Olivia Ponton, a Sports Illustrated model and influencer.
"Someone broke into my house ... It’s like completely messed up," Ponton said via police audio, TMZ reported. Documents also noted that Ponton "is employed by Mr. Burrow."

While it's unclear why Ponton was at Burrow's Cincinnati home on Dec. 9, a report from DeuxMoi concerning the model's rumored relationship with the 28-year-old quarterback resurfaced after news of the burglary broke.
DeuxMoix posted on Instagram on Dec. 10, "In a shocking turn of events Olivia Ponton has been named as the person who reportedly called 911 regarding the break in at Joe Burrow’s residence. The pair was first linked this summer with fans assuming the brief romance was over. Guess not!"
An exclusive source told the celebrity gossip outlet on June 28 that Burrow was "allegedly" dating Ponton. An additional source noted at the time, "Not sure if it's 100% serious, but something has definitely been going on over the past couple months."
While Burrow and Ponton both attended Fashion Week in Paris this past summer, the official status of their relationship was never confirmed.
The LSU alum was rumored to be engaged to Olivia Holzmacher, whom he's dated since 2017. However, neither Holzmacher nor Burrow ever publicly confirmed their engagement and she hasn't posted about the quarterback on Instagram since Jan. 31.
In the meantime, speculation grows over Ponton's employee status with Burrow. She has 2.9 million followers on Instagram and 7.6 million followers on TikTok. Based on her posts, she's a highly successful model who's worked with numerous brands such as Fendi, Burberry, and Tory Burch.
