Olivia Ponton, the rumored girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, is going viral for multiple reasons this week.
Rumors about Burrow and Ponton first surfaced in December 2024. That's because she was staying at the star quarterback's house when his house was burglarized. Although they haven't said much about their connection, people assumed they broke up since Burrow left last weekend's Vanity Fair Oscars party in the same car as TikTok star Alix Earle, Instagram model Anastasia Karanikolaou and pop singer Tate McRae.
"Joe Burrow hit up a swanky Oscars party, and it looks like he's got some leading ladies of his own … because he left the gathering with a trio of hotties … Alix Earle, Stassie Karanikolaou, and Tate McRae," the report from TMZ stated. "Check out these photos of the Cincinnati Bengals star QB Sunday night at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art … Alix, Stassie and Tate were by his side as they piled into an SUV and left the joint."

Well, Burrow and Ponton squashed those rumors this Thursday night. They were spotted together in Los Angeles ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.
Ponton hasn't said anything yet about her romance with Burrow, but she did turn heads by posting a few swimsuit photos on Instagram.
"I'm still not over this trip if it isn't obviously by how times I've posted," Ponton wrote for her caption.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit welcomed Ponton to the family in 2022. Her rookie shoot in Montenegro was such a success that she returned the following year.
"Through being a part of Sports Illustrated, I have been able to shoot with amazing photographers, travel to really cool places, and be a part of a really special community of women. I first started working with them when I was 18-years-old through TikTok, so I feel extremely honored that I was the first woman who they tapped into from that world," Ponton said. "At that young of age, it gave me the confidence boost to chase what I wanted and that is really what catapulted the start of my career. Shooting with their team has given me the confidence to chase my dreams. I am so thankful to be a part of the Sports Illustratedfamily."
In addition to being an SI Swimsuit model, Ponton has a massive following on TikTok and Instagram.
