JOE Burrow and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton have reportedly been in a relationship since the early fall.
The news comes after it was revealed last week that Ponton called the police after a burglary at the Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback’s residence.

People reported on Monday that Burrow and the model have been “hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual.”
The 28-year-old Burrow played in a Week 14 Monday Night Football contest with the Dallas Cowboys when thieves broke into his luxury house.
According to TMZ, Ponton phoned 911 and told the operator, “Someone broke into my house… It’s completely messed up.”
The 22-year-old’s presence at Burrow’s home in Anderson Township, Ohio turned heads as he had been dating his long-time girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher since college.
Ponton has over 10 million followers combined on Instagram and TikTok and said in the police report that she was an employee of Burrow’s.
During a press conference, Burrow spoke about the burglary and revealed that he didn’t appreciate the details that were made public following the situation.
“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,” Burrow told reporters after a practice last week.
“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one.
“And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.”
Burrow met his former girlfriend Holzmacher during their days at Ohio State.
She supported him during his last two years in college and the first six-and-a-half years of his NFL career, including when he made a Super Bowl appearance in 2022.
However, it appears that Burrow and Holzmacher are no longer a couple amid his romance with Ponton.
Currently, Burrow lives in the $7.5 million luxury pad he bought in 2023.
He and Ponton have yet to confirm their relationship.
The robbery took place when Burrow’s Bengals defeated the Cowboys 27-20 in Dallas.
It comes after the NFL issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries.
Kansas City Chiefs superstars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce both had their mansions broken into while they played games.
The league’s memo warned that the home of professional athletes in the sports world has become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.”
The U.S. Sun reported Kelce’s first Super Bowl jersey was among the items stolen from his Leawood, Kansas mansion.
