Woman Who Phoned in Joe Burrow Burglary Identified as 22-Year-Old Model

Earlier Tuesday afternoon news broke that the home belonging to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was broken into during his team's game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.

According to Emily Sanderson of WLWT, police received a 911 call from a young woman staying at Burrow's home. The woman's mother later also phoned police and detailed the incident.

“Someone is trying to break into the house right now,” the mother said. “My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside? She said someone was in the house.”

According to TMZ the young woman who made the call has been identified as 22-year-old model Olivia Ponton.

TMZ received documents from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, which wrote that Ponton called in the break-in at around 8:14 p.m. ET. She allegedly told officers she noticed a "shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked." 

TMZ stated Ponton could be headed on a phone call with police stating, "Someone broke into my house ... It’s like completely messed up." A statement from the sheriff's office revealed Ponton is "employed by Mr. Burrow," but it's unclear in what capacity.

Ponton is an accomplished model and social media superstar. She boasts nearly three million followers on Instagram and over 7.5 million followers on TikTok.

Neither she nor Burrow have commented on the incident, which took place just two months after the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into the weekend of their Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints.
