Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was photographed stepping out with model Olivia Ponton in Los Angeles on Thursday, days after he was seen leaving a post-Oscars party with social media influencer Alix Earle.
According to TMZ, Burrow and Ponton attended a pre-event gathering at Alba restaurant ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic scheduled for Saturday. Photos show the pair amid other flag football participants, including former LSU teammate Odell Beckham Jr. When asked about the female companions from earlier in the week, Burrow responded, “Nowhere.”
The sighting comes after Burrow was captured departing the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on March 15 in a vehicle with Earle, singer Tate McRae and model Stassie Karanikolaou. Earle had previously been linked to seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
At the flag football draft earlier this week, Brady jokingly referred to Burrow as a “wildcat” in reference to the party, while noting Burrow’s attendance at the event.
Burrow’s Dating History Since Entering the NFL:
Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has largely kept his personal life private but has had a few notable relationships.
For nearly seven years, Burrow dated Olivia Holzmacher, whom he met while both attended Ohio State University. Their relationship went public in 2017 and continued through Burrow’s transfer to Louisiana State University and his professional career with the Bengals. Rumors of an engagement surfaced in 2023, but the couple split in late 2024. Holzmacher alluded to the breakup in social media posts in early 2025.
In December 2024, Burrow was first linked to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton after she reported a burglary at his Ohio residence while he was away for a game. Sources indicated they had been casually seeing each other since the early fall of that year. The pair were spotted together publicly in 2025, and Thursday’s outing suggests they may be continuing or rekindling their relationship.
Burrow has also faced speculation about other romantic links, including group outings with celebrities like Earle. However, he has not publicly commented on his dating life.
