Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was spotted leaving a recent flag football game with a Victoria' Secret model, just days after he was spotted leaving the Oscars with three women.
Burrow, 28, and a few of his fellow NFL stars, like Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels, played surprisingly hard during Sunday's Fanatics Flag Football Game in Los Angeles.

Burrow, who threw a pick-six to a non-NFL professional football player, seemed to be enjoying himself. Perhaps one reason was the presence of 23-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model and Victoria's Secret Angel Olivia Ponton on the sideline. The pair have been rumored to be "hooking up" by PEOPLE magazine since 2024.

Cameras captured Ponton beating the LA heat with a bandana on her head on the Fanatics sideline, drinking from a sponsored Raising Cane's cup in a TikTok video.
Paparazzi also captured Ponton walking to a getaway car with Burrow after the event, though the pair didn't seem to be walking too closely together.

Burrow, who is hoping for a stronger 2026 season than his 2025 one, when a turf toe injury sidelined him for most of the campaign, dated fellow Ohio State (before he transferred to LSU) classmate Olivia Holzmacher for nearly six years before the pair split sometime in early 2024.
While there were some rumors that the Bengals quarterback had started dating Ponton, also a famous TikToker, they were not fully confirmed until she was in his Ohio home during a robbery in December 2024. Burrow was away in Dallas for a road game against the Cowboys.

"So obviously everybody has heard what has happened,” Burrow said of the incident. “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.”
PEOPLE confirmed the two were hooking up. The pair appeared together at an F1 event last May and at a Fanatics Super Bowl party in February of 2026.

After the Oscars, Burrow was seen out with singer Tate McRae and TikToker Alix Earle at an afterparty. This caused Tom Brady to crack a quick joke at the star quarterback during the Fanatics event.

“That’s what they called Joe the other night at those Oscar parties. Wildcat,” Brady quip.ped. “At least he’s here, no fashion shows to attend to.”
Burrow, already a two-time NFL Comeback Player of the Year award-winner, finished third in the 2024 NFL MVP race.
