Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton have reportedly been “hooking up” since early fall.
An insider claimed to People Tuesday that the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model are seeing each other but “keeping it casual.”
Page Six reached out to reps for Burrow and Ponton for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Rumors of a romance between the pair amped up last week after both People and TMZ reported that Ponton, 22, is the one who alerted police that 28-year-old Burrow’s $7.5 million Ohio home was robbed on Dec. 9 as he was playing against the Dallas Cowboys.
Ponton reportedly called the police at 8:15 p.m. local time and said she saw a “shattered bedroom window” and “the room ransacked.”
In an alleged separate call, she notably said it was her home that had been burglarized.
When police officers arrived, the social media influencer claimed she was employed by the NFL star.

Neither Ponton nor Burrow have commented on the speculation regarding their relationship.
Following the robbery, the pro athlete said his “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,” he added.
Burrow’s love life was speculated about even before Ponton was in the picture. He was last known to be dating his college sweetheart, Olivia Holzmacher, and they were at the center of engagement rumors in August 2023.

The pair — who had gotten together no later than 2017 — never confirmed the rumors and kept their relationship extremely private.
Fans began questioning their status this year, especially after Holzmacher was missing from a group photo that featured more than two dozen Bengals WAGS.
They still follow each other on Instagram, but Burrow has not shown up on Holzmacher’s feed since June 2023.
