JOE BURROW & OLIVIA PONTON ARE ON
Update: The photo of Burrow's backyard was posted by a friend of Burrow's family, not Ponton.
Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton - 1, naysayers - 0.
Burrow and Ponton’s relationship has been the subject of much scrutiny and curiosity since they were first linked in 2024 (courtesy of Ponton dialing 911 when Burrow’s house was burglarized). Whether they have had their fair share of ups and downs remains up in the air, though one thing is certain: the athlete and model influencer are still in each other’s lives. Despite online commenters speculating that the couple have allegedly broken up for good, Deuxmoi has received substantial intel that they are very much a couple.
Burrow and Ponton have often been discussed on the Deux/U podcast throughout 2025. Between the January 16th and January 23rd episodes, there were whispers of the couple staying strong, a potential chasm, followed by an alleged sighting at a Four Seasons in Hawaii. Fast forward to the May 22nd episode, and those post-Met Gala hotel photos were being analyzed.
While Ponton’s career thrives off social media, Burrow keeps his personal life off the field. The successful influencer and Bengals quarterback were seen on a cute NYC date night in late June, though their romance remained relatively under the radar for the second half of the year–until football season kicked back into high gear.
In early November, a source told Deuxmoi that allegedly “Burrow took Ponton to the players’ party. He kept her out of pictures but [Bengals wide receiver] Ja’Marr Chase’s girlfriend commented under [Ponton’s] post [that] it was nice meeting her, but swiftly deleted the comments when fans called her out.”
And it wouldn’t be a loved-up holiday season without Ponton making several appearances on Burrow’s stomping ground in Cincinnati, Ohio. As addressed in Deuxmoi’s December 2nd newsletter, a Deuxmoi tipster saw “Ponton at [a] Pilates class in Cincinnati." Similarly, another eagle-eyed source identified a would-be PR scuffle on Ponton’s behalf. So the story goes, “Ponton posted a photo of Burrow’s backyard this weekend of the Cincy River. [She] quickly deleted it after fans realized it was his house.”
While their relationship's intricacies shall remain private, all sightings and insight indicate that the long-time couple will be each other’s first kiss to ring in 2026 (just like last year!).
