A weekend photo of Jessica Alba with Joe Burrow had the internet wondering if the actress and the athlete really are dating.
One X post in particular, which featured the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and Alba sitting side by side at a casino table in Las Vegas in the wee hours of Sunday, caught the attention of many on social media.

It didn’t help that NFL aggregator Dov Kleiman captioned the “wholesome” snap: “Burrow recently broke up with his employee and model, Olivia Ponton. Congrats to the happy couple.”
The X account for Kleiman claims to have “the best and most accurate NFL news and stories” — but as far as celebrity gossip goes, apparently not so much.

The couple went Instagram official in November after they were first spotted together in July 2025.
The Honest Company co-founder on Saturday posted a carousel of videos and photos on her Instagram from a getaway to Mexico City, with the Captain America: Brave New World star in many of the shots.
“The best week in one of my favourite cities — belly full, heart fuller,” Alba wrote.
Ramirez commented: “Tu” with a heart emoji.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor also shared photos Sunday on his Instagram page from their trip with the caption: “Mexico magico.”
And Alba also boasted the top comment. “My [three heart emojis].”
Burrow stays mum on love life
Burrow, meanwhile, has never publicly confirmed any relationships.
His previous long-term girlfriend was college sweetheart Olivia Holzmacher, whom the NFL star began dating in 2017 until their reported split in December 2024.
Around that same time, Burrow’s home was burglarized while he was playing a Monday Night Football game against the Dallas Cowboys, per People.
The thieves, who were eventually caught, stole US$300,000 worth of jewelry, clothes, and other items, but the burglary also revealed that Ponton, a model and influencer, was staying at Burrow’s house at the time, and it was her mother who called 911.
“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one,” Burrow said at the time. “Way more is out there than I would want out there and that I care to share.”
