Joe Burrow is continuing to prove his status as America's most eligible bachelor after being spotted leaving an Oscars afterparty with Alix Earle, Tate McRae and Stassie Karanikolaou on Sunday night.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, who earns an average salary of $55 million per year, may have struggled to make it to the Super Bowl in recent seasons, but he is on a generational run when it comes to his love life.
After a high-profile reported romance with model Olivia Ponton came to an end, he has been linked with a wealth of different women, and was last week spotted at a blackjack table in Las Vegas with Hollywood A-lister Jessica Alba.
While reports of that romance were quickly debunked, he is now being linked with another trio of beauties after ending his night at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in some style.
In a suave all-black suit, Burrow could be seen leaving the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and jumping into the front seat of a chauffeur-driven SUV.
A few moments later, influencers Earle and Karanikolaou, and singer McRae, all hopped in the back before the group drove on to their next, undisclosed, location.

In the images, McRae and Earle both wore elegant red dresses, with McRae showing off her cleavage as she held a clutch bag and her phone on her way to the car.
Earle also held a bag and phone as she showed off her incredible figure in a sparkly number on Oscars night.
Karanikolaou bucked the red trend with a knee-length gold dress, pairing it with a tiny bag and high-heeled shoes.
The photos have sent the internet into a frenzy, with speculation over whether the quarterback may be romantically involved with the three women.
Clearly aware of the buzz his appearance may create, Burrow attempted to cover his face while in the front seat, though all three women could be seen laughing in the back seat behind him.

Kylie Jenner's BFF Stassie Karanikolaou also joined the group in the SUV - destination unknown

McRae has been heavily linked with US Olympics hockey star Jack Hughes in recent months, and it is believed the pair are still exclusively dating.
Earle, meanwhile, spent an extremely high-profile New Year's Eve in St Barths with Tom Brady, with the pair repeatedly popping up at the same events and parties in the weeks and months that followed.
Karanikolaou - who is close friends with Kylie Jenner - is believed to be single after recently dating Noah Centineo and Jaden Hossler.
Burrow is set to have a good few more months of downtime between NFL seasons, and he won't be due to report back with the Bengals until at least mid-May when OTAs and then mandatory minicamp get underway.

Burrow was also in San Francisco for Super Bowl week - though not on the field as he'd hoped
Last season, Burrow was unable to stay healthy and missed a significant period of the season with 'turf toe' and ligament damage.
He suffered the injury in Week 2 and did not return until Thanksgiving after undergoing surgery to repair his foot.
He led the team to a win over the Baltimore Ravens, and ultimately played in eight games - enough to earn him Pro Bowl honors but not enough to seal Cincinnati's spot in the postseason.
The former No 1 overall pick will hope to head into the 2026 season in full health, as the Bengals aim to return to their previous deep playoff runs.
